October 1, 2019 September 2019 Update of LinuxJobs.fr Open Report

More sales this month. Seems like things sped up at the end of September. I'll try to build from that and to improve in the last three months of 2019. I'll try different ways to spread the word about LinuxJobs.fr in order to get more visitors and more recruiters. Wish me luck!

Data Report are as usual available at https://www.linuxjobs.fr/open/

September 2, 2019 August 2019 Update of LinuxJobs.fr Open Report

Just updated the LinuxJobs.fr Open Report with the data of August 2019. The trend is not great, June, July and August were disappointing. Selling during these months are never easy, but 2018 was better.

I'm going to make a big push for the last 4 months of 2019 https://www.linuxjobs.fr/open/

July 13, 2019 LinuxJobs.fr now shares its results and KPIs

In the spirit of making openly a side project, Linuxjobs.fr now shares publicly its results and KPIs. We start by sharing our total revenue of the current year, the average revenue by month, the details of the revenue by month and how many job offers were published each month of the current year.

Other KPIs could come if they seem relevant. Let us know what you think about it!

    Good work!

    How did you get traffic and customers?

      Mostly by talking of it in the FOSS community, growing audience using social networks. It takes time :)

    Well done! I'm curious, what's the site built with?

    1. 1

      Nothing fancy, just a static webpage with graphs and data generated by python scripts I've been using for years. I was using metabase to follow KPIs but it broke after an upgrade and I could not find time to investigate why it broke so I decided to use my own tools to follow KPIs. So far so good.

    Nice! I like the "open book" mentality.

    Not a big deal but the copyright at the bottom of your website is listed as 2015-2018.

The LinuxJobs.fr account just reached 700 followers on the Mastodon social network. Mastodon is since 12 months an unexpected growth driver and fully compliant with LinuxJobs philosophy, being a Free Software. Next step is overtaking the number of followers of the Twitter account! https://www.linuxjobs.social/@linuxjobsfr

April 30, 2018 MRR 1K€ for the 2nd month: hopefully a new trend

I do have a goal of a monthly-recurring revenue (MRR) of 1K€ for LinuxJobs.fr in 2018. April is the second month I reach 1K€ in a row. Hopefully not an accident any more but a new trend :)

About

Only one job board was available in France for Free and Open Source Software Professionals in France, and it was not maintained any more. I felt an available opportunity, even if RH market is usually quite crowded.
