Hit 100 paid customers and $1000 MRR - RemoteLeaf
by Abinaya from Remote LeafI’m super excited and happy to share that Remote Leaf has more than 100 paying customers and hit $1k MRR. This milestone is long due and this is a big one for me. Remote Leaf helps people find the best remote jobs posted anywhere on the internet. It’s been more than 9 months since I’ve started working on this.
Here’s what we’ve been up to recently
- Recreated the landing page - Feedback appreciated 🙏
- Launched the self-service portal for the customers to manage their subscriptions, preferences
- Covered more remote job boards to provide good quality, a large number of remote job leads for the job seekers
Here are the things that worked for us.
- Do things that (don’t) scale — I’ve pinged job seekers on Twitter about this service to let them know about the service and it worked so far. But it’s not scalable.
- Releasing the Hacker News job for free — Every month I’ve been releasing the jobs that I curate from the hacker new who is hiring jobs here -> https://remoteleaf.com/whoishiring. This brought us new customers.

Excited for the future!

Love the concept, and the landing page looks great! And congrats on the big milestone! A few subtle ideas for improvement:
-
In the "Not another remote job board" section - there's a lot of text here. Maybe you could break it up into 2 columns. Each has an illustration - a "painful" person on the left and "excited" person on the right. Each column has the same copy, but broken into bullet points with important words/points bolded to break it up.
-
Form at the bottom of the page - It's a long form. Maybe you could increase free-trial conversion by breaking it up into multiple steps:
Step 1 - email + country
Step 2 - category
Step 3 - email frequency
Step 4 - Pricing Plan
With products I've worked on in the past, there seems to be a pattern of users being less likely to fall off when they feel more invested (in a longer multi-step quiz).
- SEO - have you thought about how to target more specific "X remote jobs" keywords? Like "Remote marketing jobs", etc. RemoteOK seems to do a good job of this. It's a tough balance between SEO optimization and not wanting to give away too much for free...

Reg #1. Yeah, the illustration would be nice. I'm a designer myself, maybe I'll try to grab any open-source illustrations for this
Reg #2. Good idea, I've noted it down and I'm gonna experiment with this to compare the conversion rates :)
Reg #3. Yeah, if I've to do this then I might need to share the jobs for free. Maybe I can give away the companies that are hiring. Do you think something like this will work for SEO? "Companies hiring for Remote Marketing Jobs"
Btw, Thank you so much for the detailed review and feedback. 🙏

Maybe that could work. You can find out by doing some basic research using a keyword tool. I use KeySearch because it's cheap but there are better ones. Moz has a very limited free tier too. See what the search volume is for those types of terms and what the competition is like.
You might still be able to post jobs, but all jobs and not just curated jobs. This is valuable for users, but not nearly as valuable as the curated service you offer (and it's very valuable to Google).
If you think there's SEO value, you could always run a test for a month - put up some pages and see how conversion rates fluctuate. Projected top-of-the-funnel growth may be high enough to overcome a conversion rate drop, or there might not be a drop at all - who knows.

Hey
Nice to see this...
But when being transpernt never reveal your all tactics.
That create more opponents as I read your old post I get info that someone copy your whole landing page.So share your successes never reveal your path.
All the best
