How would you monetize a job listing/aggregator website?

Hey guys, as I posted before, I'm with the PyJobs.xyz mvp published, but I would like to know what would you suggest as a monetizing strategy?

I’m thinking about this 2 strategies:

  • paid newsletter regarding new jobs posted on the website
  • paid premium jobs (like seen on remote ok)

    Hi, we've run a profitable niche job board for a long time over at https://environmentjob.co.uk. My advice would be:

    • Don't try and monetize your users - we've never seen that work
    • Offer really well curated jobs for a long time and build up a loyal audience
    • Start off free or cheap for advertisers until you have an amazing audience

    Niche job boards are a long slog - but a nice business to be in when they get traction.

    I have publish one in begin of February https://remoteindex.io no monetization yet I was also considering in future insert some sort of pay to be best visible feature

    Offer top placement for 1-3 premium listings per page.

    I monetize my job listing sites with Adsense.

    Interested to learn if paid newsletter works.

      Too much traffic for low money. Doesnt worth!

        This is why I am interested to know how paid newsletters and paid job ads work. I have traffic but unable to find paid employers / recruiters yet.

      I have three questions for you:

      • Would you mind to talk to me on priv8?
      • Is everyone on your website paying 139 USD for the job posting? Dont know if it works on niche websites(thats a really nice question to do)
      • Did you start the website without any paid listing and then inserted them or not?

      PyJobs is also developed in Django! Which frontend framework and tips you have used/to give?
