Passed $7k 💵 in a month with my boring directory of job boards

Thanks a lot!

Yeah, I still can't believe it.

Happy to hear it's inspiring!

I get inspired by other indie hackers all the time so wanted to also share and build in public trying to inspire others a few steps behind

Thanks a lot! Yes, timing played and important role

After the initial traction thanks of Pieter Levels, I posted on Reddit and it went super viral. The post had 791k views and 4k upvotes and the website 35k unique in 24 hours

Then folks on Twitter started to mention the website creating a kinda of a viral loop, people keep mentioning it all over the SN, you can see some of them at https://jobboardsearch.com/wall-of-love

I also created a bunch of bots that cross post (LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter, Telegram) jobs fetched from job boards with API or RSS that are listed on the website.

All of these is helping to create an audience: Telegram Group 7.3k, Subreddit 7.4k, Newsletter 7.6k

It didn't happen overnight, it's a long term game.

Thanks a lot, appreciate it 🙏🏻

Thanks a lot man, still not a stable income but looks promising.

Happy to hear it's inspiring!

I get inspired by others all the time so decided to also share and build in public trying to inspire others a few steps behind

Good luck with your project 😀

So happy to hear!

I got inspired from others all the time so decided to also share and build in public trying to inspire others a few steps behind 😀

Thanks a lot Tuiddy, I honestly appreciate it 🙏

Not the key because before having the audience in there the website was making money but definitely helps a lot

Both drives a lot of traffic of job seekers to job boards, and for new job board it's super important to get traffic

Thanks a lot 👍

What is your job board?

Not killing it yet but it looks promising 😀

Thanks a lot!

JobBoardSearch is not a job board but a board of job boards, they pay for premium listings or sponsorships rather than jobs post.

Thanks a lot, I always get inspired by other indie hackers so the intention is to also inspire others a few steps behind 😀

Thanks sooo much for your premium listing and feedback, honestly appreciate it a lot 🙏🏻

Thanks Joe, how long did you try?

The top 3 sources of traffic are: 1. Direct / Word of mouth 2. Reddit 3. Google

SEO and pSEO work, I also created various bots that cross-post the jobs on Reddit, LinkedIn, Telegram, etc

Thanks for submitting and wishing a lot of success with your job board :)

Thanks so much!

Luck played an important role here but of course I chased it 😀

I think already exists

Thanks a lot 👍

Thanks, don't get jealous, get inspired instead, I get inspired from others all the time, the message I get is "is possible, if they can I can too" 😀

Thanks a lot!

In between 30k and 50k page views per month. 7.5k newsletter subs, 7.3k Telegram group members, 7.3k subreddit members.

Job boards are interested in listing, also I built a meta feature to cross post their job listings.

Appreciate it man 👍

I was toothbrushing on a late Saturday night before going bed when I read the tweet about SOJ shutting down and folks asking about alternatives so right away registered the domain and went bed.

Woke up at 7am and coded an static HTML + CSS website, curated 15 job boards, put it online and tweeted under Levels tweet
