Monetization is hard. I put together a list that, maybe is helpful for you: www.evernote.com/shard/s99/sh…

I am currently trying out some monetization ideas like affiliate deals or a paid API.

I'm the founder of fractionaljobs.io and wrestling with all these questions myself too. Launched 4 weeks ago.

If any other job board owners out there want to jam together, feel free to reach out. I have a lot to learn.

You're position 7 for "Fractional Jobs" which is pretty good for a new job board.
I like that you're going email first, but I do have to say I was a bit confused that there's no actual job board.
I think you just have to hope that search volume increases and I can see it succeed. If I was you I would look at what 4dayweek.io/, especially all the little details that you don't see on other job boards in the right sidebar for each job. What could those be for you?

How's the email sign-ups going?

Yes 4dayweek is definitely an inspiration. Phil's done a great job!

Email signups I think(?) are great, I'm at 1,600 in the first 4 weeks. I don't really have anything to compare this to though, so no idea. The email open/click rate is 80%/25% though, which seems insanely high.

This is also my problem - documentation of Paddle really sucks compared to Stripe

Thanks Matt! Looks really good!! Will take a deeper look at writeas - any themes available?
