Power of the Niche (member only)
I wanted to give you an update on how my latest niche job board is doing. http://uavjobbank.com/ It targets a brand new niche that I recently discovered. Because the market has no existing competitors it already ranks on page 1 of google despite only being live for about 5 weeks. Check out the stats below….
Updated job board cheatsheet (member only)
I wrote this a few years back in order to quickly summarize many of my ideas about running a job board. Here’s the list with a few updated bullet points. 1. Get an 800# for your business. This will make you look more professional in the eyes of employers. Try Onebox, Grasshopper or eVoice. 2….
Should you buy or build your job board software? (member only)
I get this question a lot. What software should I use? Well it depends. If you are just looking to create a simple site to test the market you are better off BUYING. There are plenty off the shelf options…webJobs, SmartJobBoard, Jobmount, Forcefinder, Jobtarget, Adicio, etc. But if you want to be able to customize…
Use content marketing to drive traffic to your job board
There are many “cheap” ways to get job seeker traffic to your job board. One is content marketing. This involves writing, lots of writing.

Peek inside one of my consulting reports (member-only)
Here’s a look inside one of my consulting reports for a recent niche job board owner that I met with. We went over these on a one hour skype call and I thought it would make a good content piece for this blog. If you have any questions about any of these just let me…
Before you launch (member only)
Before you launch a job board (or any site) I think its important to lay some groundwork before you go live. Specifically there are two important marketing tactics you should employ. A blog and an email list. Before I launched CareerCloud.com in January of this year I began by setting the domain to Launchrock so…
Another good email prospecting tool (member only)
I have been using Email Extractor to supplement my email prospecting activities. I dont like it as much as Email Grabber but sometimes I do find it works better. Recently I tried finding emails of college career services personnel. It did a better (and faster) job at gathering them than Email grabber did. I told…
