Pivoted and got my first paying customer

I just launched a brand new version of RemoteFR.

I pivoted from a classic job board model to a premium newsletter.

The mission of RemoteFR stays the same: giving to French tech workers a lot of full remote opportunities.

So why pivot to this new model?

  • To save time for the applicants! With this new version, you fill out a form with your criteria, and I will do the work for you. You receive the offers directly in your mailbox every week.

  • To offer more job opportunities without limiting myself to companies wanting to be on the job board. But always, only 100% FULL REMOTE jobs.

  • To increase the diversity of offers by including French offers and international ones. This allows you to have a better idea of the worldwide job market.

And it worked as I had the first paying customers a few hours after the launch!

Onward!

      Thanks Phillip. I'm building in public mostly on Twitter, but I'll also try to share here!
