1. Starting a job board today can be done in a matter of days through hosted jobĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
board solution providers. This document is a checklist for everything youāll needĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
for launch.Ā
Ā
Job Board SoftwareĀ
Each of the providers are my two recommended solutions for a hosted softwareĀ
vendor that wonāt break your bank. Monthly costs range from $200-$400 per monthĀ
ā Jobboard.ioĀ
ā SmartJobBoardĀ
Things Youāll Need to Plug-inĀ
ā Stripe.com for ecommerce (cost free)Ā
ā Google Analytics + Search Console accounts (free)Ā
ā Mailchimp for email collection (free for first 2,000 subscribers)Ā
ā ZipRecruiter affiliate accountā (for backfill) (free)Ā
ā Logo ($)Ā
ā Social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and InstagramĀ
Internet Marketing SkillsĀ
2. The only cost to start on online job site is just the cost of the job board softwareĀ
vendor. Of course you will need to advertise the site to help build traffic. That alsoĀ
includes content marketing. Both vendors offer the ability to have a blog and createĀ
pages on your site so you have the ability to leverage content marketing skills forĀ
traffic.Ā Ā
Google for Jobs will help to drive some free traffic but you will need to submit yourĀ
sitemap to the Google Search Console. āLearn moreā.Ā
What to ExpectĀ
The first year of your job board is the most critical for success. Focus on building anĀ
audience and less about revenue. Aim to have 7,000-10,000 monthly visitors to yourĀ
site as a general rule by the end of year 1. Revenue will greatly depend on your nicheĀ
and marketing efforts.Ā
