I am actually about to start a jobs site but having second doubts now after reading how hard it is to make money off of them.

Chris:

I agree.

I’ve been talking to a number of the early adopters of the job search affiliate programs (other influential bloggers) and they all have very low expectations. The long tail on this is just too long.

A better way, in my opinion, would be to add free job postings and job search to your site and use it as yet another way to drive ad revenue on your site vs. trying to monetize the listings themselves. People will post jobs to lockergnome if it’s free, but I doubt they will pay $50 to pay you and then the next blog and the next, etc.

Wants some help with that?

Hi Chris,
I’m a product manager at Simply Hired — this is great feedback; thanks for broaching this important topic.

Even if you don’t get a large number of direct postings, I hope that it is clear that Job-a-matic’s backfill jobs will generate reveneue on a PPC basis (a la Adwords).

The Simply Hired team is working very hard to develop a product that does indeed drive serious revenue for bloggers…and the results that our Job-a-matic partners have seen thus far are extremely promising.

I’d love the opportunity to talk about this further and help you setup paid backfilled jobs. Drop me a note, and we’ll help you dial-in your job site.

Respectfully,
Francis

[...] I am amazed at how cool job sites have become in the last few months, it seems you are not part of the in crowd unless you have a job site! I have been wondering what the benefit is to the job seeker having to go to all of these sites to find a job. I know the idea is not that they go there specifically but they happen to see a job while on the affiliate site, but really does it work? For me this model only works for a couple of very high profile sites, Arrington. Chris Pirillo (who seems to be thinking like me), provides a good run down of what is wrong with affiliate programs with his post Job Search Affiliate Programs :- Job search / job listings are a commodity – to an extreme degree. I could plug anybody’s URL for a year and maybe eke out one new customer and make a few bucks in affiliate revenue. These things simply DO NOT WORK without a hook, and hooks do not apply if everybody’s given the same set of tools. This is one of the reasons why having an API is a great start – but don’t leave those of us without extra developer cycles hanging. [...]
