Recently we’ve seen a Job Boards frenzy among some top class bloggers such as Darren Rowse from Problogger. Darren was the first one to start a Job Board for his blog, but now we see Job Boards springing up like weeds; TechCrunch, GigaOM…. and lots of others have their own Job Board.

Job Boards attracts lots hurry job seekers and this can make money spin. You charge only the Advertisers and not the readers, so this adds up and as a bit of value added service to your blog.

JobCoin makes is absurdly simple to add a job board to your site. The idea is simple, just get an account, setup a job board, set your price, add the widget or link in your blog. Easy isn’t it ?

JobCoin a free service, you need not pay anything to start a Job Board, but they will take 30% out of your revenue (i.e if you sell a job post for 100$, JobCoin will take 30$ and you’ll receive 70$). All payouts are made through PayPal.

Creating a job board might be easy, but finding the right advertisers is damn hard. If everything works well, its a real money making machine. Have a look at my http://www.arun.jobcoin.com, its still empty because it just took off this morning. Anyway, I’m not really serious with this new Job Board, but if your interested in posting a job, my contact form is always open

CaptainJack,

You're right when you say it is "a bit of value added service to your blog." What is so great is that everyone benefits: the readers learn about relevant opportunities, companies get to reach a niche audience, and the blogger gets paid for making this possible.

And it's actually not that hard to find the right advertisers. They are right there, reading your blog. The people that understand your audience the best are the people that are a part of it.

Of course, it depends on the blog's audience (and number of readers), but employers already exist among the readership of most blogs. And they are the ones who can easily say, "I love this blog and I want to hire other people who also appreciate it because that says something about them."

The rich community of people that exists around a great blog all have something in common. It's like they're at a never-ending conference, only everyone is walking around without name tags on. Adding a job board gives a way for people to raise their hands and say, "Hey, I'm over here and I'm hiring." JobCoin creates a way for readers of a blog to interact with each other.
