brianpetro_··on Why I Quit Coffee and How That's Been Working Out
Since I quit drinking coffee regularly, over a year ago, I've been all around more efficient/productive.

No more, "I can't do that until I get my morning coffee." This is important because I get my highest quality work done in the mornings.

Unlike the author, I've almost been lured back by the idea of "bullet proof coffee."

Sure, robots can run a franchise since there are limited inputs/outputs.

But, can a robot innovate?

brianpetro_··on Those making $1,000+/month on side projects – what did you make?
Call/email people in charge of hiring in your niche.

Most companies are very familiar with this type of contract.

brianpetro_··on Those making $1,000+/month on side projects – what did you make?
I was populating the board with jobs for companies I scored recruiting contracts with.

These contracts made building the JobPosts and driving traffic worth my time(contract = collect a sizable a fee when someone you refer to a position gets hired).

JobPosts drive the organic traffic to JobBoards, so make sure you take SEO into consideration when posting.

I also started with a much lower rate to post on the JobBoard, never free, but as low as $29 at one point. As the traffic grew, so did the price. Now a JobPost costs $349.

brianpetro_··on Those making $1,000+/month on side projects – what did you make?
Awesome!

The JobBoard is a great way to get some passive income, but, there is a lot more money to be made if you want to devote your time to recruiting.

Having a non-recruiting domain in the space you want to recruit in is a huge advantage when getting both JobBoard and recruiting leads.

Definitely focus your recruiting efforts in one locale at first. DC, SF and NYC are the top markets if you are based in the US.

The JobBoard should be worldwide (easier to facilitate than restricting it anyway).

Create a Job Board, use the latest social routes to drive traffic and build a list.

The amount you make from the Job Board post is heavily dependent on the amount social followers (drives traffic and makes purchasing more appealing).

https://www.angularjobs.com started making ~$1000/month in revenue with a highly targeted social reach of ~10k followers.

Technical co-founder type? Take what you know about programming and offer recruiting services to the early users of your site. Both companies and developers visit job boards, providing both the clients and talent needed to collect recruitment fees(over 10K in major US cities).

My main gig is http://www.LinkPlugApp.com where I play a technical role.

LinkPlug is how I drive traffic to the JobBoard from social media accounts like the ones below(click a tweeted link to see an ad for the JobBoard):
