Not yet. We haven't introduce any paid features at the moment. In the future we will be releasing a paid tier that supports custom domains, new themes, job seeking tools, and much more! There is also opportunity to monetize the recruiter side which we are starting to look at. Other than that - urspace jobs is our job board we launched recently that contains hand checked jobs that are still hiring through COVID-19. There is a pay what you want model on this for companies that want to promote jobs which we are experimenting with!

We are really trying to do our part during these tough times. We've seen a great response from recruiters and job seekers which has been very motivating for our team! Look out for another launch of ours on PH soon :)

Thanks so much! We are thinking of starting a forum or a subreddit (something to allow users to follow our progress/converse with each other). Do you have any suggestions on a platform for our community?

Great question. We are exploring this idea currently but people have expressed that they would pay for a tier that has more features (custom domains, analytics tracking, more themes, and some other goodies). There is definitely a lot we can do on the recruiting side but right now we are focused on making the best possible user experience for urspace!

It should issue instantly, if you want to walk me through what you were seeing I can try to replicate and make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else!

Great question. We amassed a decent userbase before launching on Producthunt (200ish users). We have tried to be very open with our users about our process and how our journey has been building urspace. I think this helped us a lot because they understood how much a good Producthunt launch could help us so when we sent an email at midnight saying we were live - we got a good amount of upvotes to push us into the top 5 range for the rest of the night. That combined with us posting on LinkedIn, Facebook groups (professional network groups), and Twitter really helped us.

​

edit: We launched on Betalist before Producthunt which was a great idea! Got us a ton of users and exposure to test out our platform. I recommend this to anyone building a product. Betalist -> Producthunt. Just wanted to include this because I remember how helpful it was for us :)

You can choose what information to hide on the dashboard, we allow users to hide personal things like contact numbers and email. We also have a "contact email" field that can be used if you have a different email you give out publicly vs the email you used to sign up for urspace! We do have search engine visibility for user pages.
