My shameless plug of trying to "ride" the remote job boards trend https://99remotejobs.com.

What differentiates it from other similar job boards - it's free and job offers are syndicated to both SaaSHub and LibHunt.

My target is to keep it free until it get's some traction. And it seems it might be getting there. Last 2 days, job offers have been receiving about ~1,000 views.

I think doing the same might not work because the problem is pretty solved now. I recommend trying new niches like for ex crypto and web3 jobs or whatever trend is next.

I started Remote OK in 2015 when remote work was still HEAVILY frowned upon. Perfect time to start something. After COVID, remote work is now almost the default.

So go to a trend that's nascent and jump in, then strap on and ride it for years until it hits mainstream.

I'm jumping into the part-time jobs niche: https://parttime.careers

I am building this because I don't want to work full-time. So I want to collect all the part-time jobs.

We'll see whether I can turn it into a successful business. Even if I got 10% of the revenue of Remote OK, I would be very happy. Haha.

Godspeed to you!

Good luck, I've tried to do a niche job board as well before, but it never took off sadly.
