    What have you tried with paid advertising so far? What was your approach and your budget?

    1. 1

      Not much ... spent about 3 USD ! got about 21,116 eyes on the advert , and about 182 clicks .. But only 15 signups till now .

      Willing to spend about 30 USD more on adverts ! But what i really want is organic growth, without spending money . Cause , as of now , i'm not earning anything... the product is FREE

        Yeah fair if that's your budget then paid ads definitely aren't worth running right now in any big scaled-up way. You want to be spending at least a few hundred a month.

        We recommend £1k + to our clients in order to see any meaningful data to make decisions off.

    How many visitors did you get so far? Even if it's free, it still needs effort from a user to start using. How are you marketing it apart from Facebook ads?

    You can try posting about it on Reddit where there are thousands of software devs looking for advice on how to create a resume. I created a blog post to help people find the best place (and what to) post on Reddit.

    You can check out /r/jobs, /r/resume, /r/resumes, /r/sideproject, the learning subreddits for programming etc. and post there.

    I also built a social listening tool that has a free tier that you could use to find people. I'd recommend setting that up as well and using the keywords: "resume builder", "create resume", and "build resume" (or just "resume", but you will get a lot of irrelevant results in that case).

    I've advertised using FB ads , but in vain!

    I believe all devs need good resumes and this is a compelling product that offers a lot ... but I'm confused as to why I'm not able to get the desired number of signups! what am I doing wrong?

November 12, 2022 Revenue Streams :

So , since I've started the website and have been getting some traffic .... I'm puzzled as to how to bring revenue to the site .

Since the website is getting not a LOT of traffic , what type of revenue strategy would be beneficial as of now ?
