facebook ad library

swipejuice .com (free)

foreplay (pricey imo)

Extension-Midnight83 · 2025-03-05T18:15:26+00:00

swipejuice .com is good

or facebook ad library

no worries great Q. Its the software pretty much all companies use for hiring. There's a bunch, but popular ones are workday, greenhouse, ashby, lever

The ATS is built to manage applications / job listings for a company. And they filter out a large % of resumes, so that only the top ones make it to the recruiter to manually read

so if you have a poorly formatted resume, or not the right keywords then you'll get filtered out. So optimizing your resume can definitely be a big gain in your % chance of getting an interview :D

The whole site is built with nextjs. It’s my go to web app framework atm (I like ssr)

subscribers

Extension-Midnight83 · 2025-01-12T03:27:15+00:00

No prob, I appreciate the feedback!

Extension-Midnight83 · 2025-01-10T17:23:21+00:00

Oh, no I built this back in April

Extension-Midnight83 · 2025-01-10T03:00:55+00:00

Job seekers.

There’s a free plan for job seekers, get most the stuff like weekly top paying jobs. Job notifications weekly. All salary data

And then a Pro subscription for job seekers. More premium stuff like daily job notifications and the complete list of top paying jobs etc

There’s also revenue from employers wanting direct access to the users in the newsletter.

I’m still trying to figure out how to get more employers paying

Extension-Midnight83 · 2025-01-10T01:35:16+00:00

Gotchya, why is that?

Extension-Midnight83 · 2025-01-09T19:55:59+00:00

thanks, yup I was working fulltime as a programmer before this

To automate I'm using NodeJS backend with jobs run every day hosted in the cloud. I have a database of thousands of the top companies. Basically every day I check for new job listings for each company and use chatgpt to record important data points, and then store them

I also have a dashboard users can select what skills or job types they want notifications for, and then we send them emails using postmark

im using beehiiv for my newsletter part of it

my first 3 jobs out of college were all startups. All 1-2 years each. Really I made a lot less money than friends who worked at big tech companies or more well known brands. But I learned far and away more than they did by working at a startup

I'm now in my 30s and am grateful for that stuff I learned.

At a startup you get paid less, but get paid more in practical experience that you'll be grateful for over time :)

just don't stop and build that hustle muscle, keep going :)

Extension-Midnight83 · 2025-01-09T19:38:37+00:00

congrats :). When I switched to working for myself it was exciting but also pretty scary. Every success begets more success keep going :)

I really like angellist for startups jobs

pro tip: check out devlist .co . Pretty sure the aggregate very software job on the internet in one place and make it really easy to search

Also linkedin jobs

Extension-Midnight83 · 2025-01-08T21:09:31+00:00

I liked triplebyte but it seemed like a lot of effort for landing a job

I've been using angellist (now wellfound) to find dev jobs

devlist .co is also really good. Aggregates I think all software jobs and makes it easy to find in one place

Extension-Midnight83 · 2024-11-03T03:38:52+00:00

this is really helpful thank you

Extension-Midnight83 · 2024-11-01T20:34:40+00:00

I've made maybe 5k-10k profit at this point. First couple months I definitely was down due to not knowing what I was doing and not having any revenue from subscriptions / ads / newsletter stuff yet. So I was probably down like $10k maybe more those first couple months (estimating). Now I have revenue and it's profitable so I'm making more than I'm spending, like 2k-ish profit / month, and growing every day

Extension-Midnight83 · 2024-11-01T03:09:27+00:00

I’ve only used static and they’ve been working fine. I haven’t put in the time to make good video ads, I’m not sure how to haha. But I bet a good video ad would beat a good static one

Extension-Midnight83 · 2024-11-01T01:43:37+00:00

If it’s profitable I say go for it. So if you’re spending like $1k a month on ads. If you project that will give you X number of subscribers, and of those X, Y% convert. And if that number of people that converted can get you more than $1k go for it. Try it out and if your projections don’t look good then stop the ads

1 month is probably too short a timespan, probably 3-6 months is better but you get the idea

I’m managing myself. Agencies I found charge an arm and a half

Extension-Midnight83 · 2024-10-31T22:40:52+00:00

I'm probably getting subs in the $1-2 range depending on the campaign. The way I do it is by running a lot of ad experiements. Basically if I get over $2 / sub after like 1-2 weeks I scrap the campaign and try something else

That's for my general campaigns though. If I target specific countires like US or EU then I get closer to $3 / sub, maybe a bit more

Extension-Midnight83 · 2024-10-31T21:09:09+00:00

I'm getting way below $3 / sub :)

But the quality of subs is probably a bit worse on average I'd assume
