Remote Design Job Board
Theo is a remote design job board that finds ALL new jobs in one place (or more than anyone else anyway). https://theojobs.com/
Biggest problem has actually been distribution. I'm pretty sure I have p/m fit - people who have been using it love it, and when I offered to give it for free to folks laid off from COVID-19 I had such a huge response it brought the site down.
I've just been blogging and posting on reddit - need to find a better way to reach designers looking for jobs though.
I tried Google Adwords, thinking CPMs are down and it would fit right in with people's intents but after spending $30 I got 0 conversions out of it so I don't think that's the way to go.
Steps:
-
Threw up a blog post that got 10K reads: https://uxdesign.cc/the-most-important-overlooked-design-skill-fcdd4f7adf31?source=activity---post_recommended_rollup
-
Drove about 100 people to the site (remote design job board): https://theojobs.com/
-
12 signed up

5 converted to premium

Built the site with no code using Bubble.io, AMA!
After my failed startup Scoops, I was trying to find a job. Ended up combing 45+ job boards, social media feeds, ATSes, and more, everyday to find all new jobs. It was exhausting. I'd have paid someone $5 or more a month to do it for me, so I went and built this myself to see if anyone else would pay me to do it!
Used Bubble.io to build it with no-code. I'm a designer :) Anyway, I ended up joining another startup as their head of design. Testing this now as a sort of side project. Would love for it to be able to provide some supplemental income after my earnings hit last year.
