Building an indie ad network - beta testers?
For the past 8 months I have been building a job search engine specifically for jobs that people can apply to directly (without staffing / recruitment firms) - It's going really well, so now moving onto phase 2 of the business. An ad network. Think Carbon ads but for Job ads specifically.
I just launched the landing page for it: https://publishers.directlyapply.com/ and would love any feedback you may have. Also if you have a website and want to search some extra $$$ I am 100% looking for some beta publishers.
Hey @dylankbuckley
How’s this progressing? Still moving forward?
I’m launching a product imminently and evaluating ad networks. Can you elaborate on some details here?
How often is payment available, payment methods, ad fill rate etc?
Cheers 🍻
Ps: you have a typo on your landing page for publishers in the section about payouts.
Hey @Shaunau - Yes all moving forward - rolling out the beta to as many sites as we can. Payment threshold is $25USD and is done via PayPal. We have a 100% ad fill rate for impressions in US, Canada and UK. If the bulk of your traffic is outside of these geographies we might not be best suited. Thanks for the typo spot! Thanks!
Looks very cool. What has been the hardest part so far?
I'm not really in your target, but your landing page is really great. The LP has all what needs (demo live, short explanation, screenshot)
Good job ! & good luck
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Are there any minimum requires to join the network - traffic, total users, etc
No not at all. We are able to pay publishers in two ways. Standard Cost Per Click (CPC) or by Cost Per Application (CPA). Under CPA payouts can range from $0.50 to $25. So even very small sites have the potential to do well. I am going to make a point of this on the landing page.
Sounds good, would love to follow the product and register once I'm generating more traffic.
Are you looking specifically for beta testers in the HR/employment niche? Or any niche?
Any niche! Preferably not in HR / Employment!
