From dhh in the podcast: "The 37signals' job board made 1.5 million in the past 18 months for 1 and a 1/2 days of work." Not too shabby. But you gotta remember that that was 5 years of community building that made that revenue possible.
- petercooper 17y agoJust ran some rough numbers for the fun of it.. no hard science here. $1.5m over 18 months works out at about $2777 per day. Currently there are 135 jobs on the job board - we'll assume they're all $300 jobs (they also offer $50 listings for internships). This averages out (on the 30 day lifetime) to about 4.5 jobs posted per day over the last month, or $1350 of revenue - less than half the revenue necessary to meet the trend..
