Start a Niche Job Board

Indeed's noise is the opportunity: employers in specialized fields pay $100 to $300 per post to reach candidates the giant boards bury.

1. 1

   Pick a niche with hiring pain

   Specialized roles, licensed trades, and emerging fields where employers complain about finding people. If hiring is easy in the niche, a board adds nothing.

2. 2

   Launch on job board software

   Dedicated no-code job board platforms handle postings, payments, and alerts for $50 to $150 per month. Do not build custom software for this.

3. 3

   Seed 100 jobs by aggregating

   Curate relevant openings from company career pages (linking to their application) so candidates find a full board on day one. Candidates first, revenue second.

4. 4

   Build the candidate audience

   A weekly jobs newsletter, an active presence where the niche gathers, and SEO pages per role and city. Employers pay for candidate eyeballs, so this is the real work.

5. 5

   Convert employers to paid posts

   When companies you aggregated start getting applicants, offer direct paid postings at $100 to $300 with better placement and alerts inclusion.

6. 6

   Add recurring revenue layers

   Employer subscriptions, featured company profiles, and newsletter sponsorships turn one-off posts into predictable monthly income.
