I used to rely on a 3rd party platform (named elsewhere in this thread) - they took a cut (50%) of the job ad sales - and it bothered me. Was fine when I was experimenting of course, but not when I showed any degree of success. I'm not interested in attracting people who want to throw up tons of free sites - i'd rather have customers who perhaps have something a little more established or at least are willing to put a little more of an investment in.
Of course - I could be completely wrong - but had to start somewhere! :)
- dkroy 14y agoDo you have any paying customers for this new payment model of jobboard.io? Has this been less of a pain or an improvement in sales or reduction in support hours?
- cmalpeli 14y agoSorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. This is the first and only payment model. I meant that I used to run my own niche job boards with a different provider which took a rev share. I built this platform as a result of wanting to get away from that model as a customer. At the same time I decidd to make the platform a SaaS offering so other could take advantage of it.
- dkroy 14y agoAlright, I understand now. Well good luck, I would be interested to hear how successful this SaaS offering ended up being a month or two down the road maybe submit a blog post on HN later on, that definitely would be an interesting read. Good Luck, it looks really polished at first glance.
