Have you looked at Duotrope (duotrope.com)? That solves a similar problem - tracking acceptances / rejections for writers. The constraints are a little different in that an author may have many pieces, but usually each magazine will only look at one piece at a time, and they will often request that you not submit a piece to multiple magazines at once.
- romanhn 3y agoI have not, will check them out, thank you. One at-a-glance difference is that they charge individual writers, which probably makes sense. I'm fairly allergic to charging job seekers though.
- rkho 3y agoIf I were looking for a job, I would gladly pay a couple hundred dollars to use this. There is real value in a streamlined way to track all of my applications' statuses like this. I've used lists on Asana with custom categories in the past, but this is a lot cleaner. If you'd really rather not go the monetization of job seekers route, one suggestion would be to try and sell this to people running upskill programs i.e. coding bootcamps as a product they could give their students/graduates access to.
- romanhn 3y agoThank you for the suggestion! I've considered the bootcamp/school route and I think there is opportunity there. For now trying not to spread my focus too thin though.
- pacerier 3y agowhy? job seekers are the ones making money from this. but you obviously must not charge until they have actually made money.. that keeps the incentives right.
