Looking to sponsor a blog, newsletter or podcast - help
Hiya!
As Jobflow is soon ready for beta launch, I am in need of a steady stream of candidates to join when I click the release button.
I need some suggestions on what blogs, newsletters or podcasts, that my audience would be interested in - I am thinking in the direction of tech, startups and career/job content.
If any indiehackers are looking to get sponsered, feel free to drop a link here with your email!
I can help you in 2 ways.
I run careermove.io, and most of the readers are professionals who are actively/passively looking for their next career move. Almost every founder I have interviewed is hiring so your tool will definitely be valuable to them. Currently, I have 4,118 email subscribers and 1034 registered freelancers.
I co-run huruworld.com - A platform where publishers and advertisers discover each other. We provide verified data on subscribers, open rates, audience demographics, and so much more stats.
Let me know if you are interested in understanding what platform will give you more value for your hard-earned money.
Hey Emeka,
Careermoove sounds like a good fit! I tried signing up on huruworld.com, but nothing shows up in the search results - not sure how it works exactly
If you're looking for a long list of potential ones, have a look at: http://upstart.me/search/index.php
Thank you Thomas!
this is amazing tool! thank you for sharing. Did you have a chance to work with them? If you did, could you share some results.
We've only worked with 1 newsletter (outside of Marketing Examples) and had limited success with 1 signup. It was just a single ad. Likewise with a podcast.
A longer term relationship is something we'd probably do next time.
Hey! Just wanted to thank you for this link.

Hey Nicolaj, checkout https://huruworld.com/ and https://hypeletter.com/ . I came across both via IndieHackers this past week. Might be helpful.
Thanks for the recommending Huruworld.com 🙏
Thanks Nakkeeran! I'll try them out both.
Thanks for the shoutout! @Nakkeeran

Idea of something else you can do to bring in job seekers:
Go to LinkedIn search and filter by people with 'Looking for' in their title (some people put Looking for job, others put for looking for work so using 'looking for' covers all the variants). Since it looks like you're specializing in Europe tech jobs, you can also filter by location and industry.
Send connection requests to these people and for those who accept it, send them a personal message offering to help them find their next job and inviting them to join.
Thank you! Great idea - I will have to check it with a lawyer though - unfortunately, the law in Denmark (where I am based) doesnt allow cold emails or other electronic post. If LinkedIn is a part of that, I don't know.
But great idea! Definitely considering it
Hi Nicolaj, would be great to talk and help you get into some newsletters. We just started HypeLetter. One newsletter we represent is by my cofounder, VueJSDevelopers. Also we are working for a few newsletters by fellow indiehackers that cater to a great dev community you want to get in front of.
Hey Andrew!
Thank you for reaching out by email! I will be answering it later or tomorrow - been pretty busy af AFK the last two days. Thank you!
You're a marketplace so you have two audiences: candidates and businesses recruiting
I always recommend that startups create an ecosystem CRM.
This CRM should lists all influencers, industry contacts, publications, websites, email lists, blogs, social accounts and communities relevant to your audiences. These are the places in which your persona lives and the influencers which they follow and read. This needs to be researched and created by you.
All your marketing work can then leverage these people and places.
Here's an example I created for reaching people that work in startups in London:

Hey Oliver!
Thanks for the good tips and the trello board. Really useful!
