I'm not exactly sure on a revenue model yet, but I think job ads is one idea that could work. However, when I was researching companies that are trying to match people with the right career, several ended up partnering with Fortune 500 companies to essentially be their marketing channel. I won't be doing that, as I think it creates a conflict of interest. Having good content is my top priority.

Adding search is the first feature on my list to build out, sorry for the frustration. And thanks for the feedback.

I think the workers should be your revenue model. But I also don’t see that generating quite enough revenue without some creative means. Definitely have a tip jar. Maybe non targeted ads?

Crazy idea time. Build out a suite of features for someone to fully document employer abuse. Request a portion of legal windfalls as cost for downloading the data.

Or maybe partner with labor unions? You will have to refrain from the crazy idea though.

This is actually a market where there are many real business models that work. Advertising is the most dominant one via job ads, and that could be a way to go.

Alternatively, I think people would pay for accurately telling them what they should do with their life that would provide them with the most fulfillment; and more if you're directly able to place them in that job/industry (similar to how a dating service could find you the person to marry).
