What do you plan to offer over the free job board on python.org to make it worth $249? http://www.python.org/community/jobs/

  1. acquire a jobsy sounding domain name
  2. create a job board for it in about 2 minutes using www.jobboard.io
  3. charge $250 for 45 days on your job board
  4. profit???

how to search/filter by location? are there any jobs outside of usa?

Since we are so niche we won't ever have a huge set of jobs - expectation is you will be able to scan down the list quite easily.

taking a glance at python.org, djangogigs and SO, looks like you are missing quite a lot of jobs in there. and 2 of them have location filtering.

Yeah but I'm not going to sign up so I can be told about jobs in the US when I'm in the UK.

I'm a big fan of niche job boards (I run api-jobs.com). I think the pricing might be a little high without some broader distribution though. For instance, featured listings on my site are syndicated on ProgrammableWeb.

Either way if you can find an untapped niche, they're pretty easy to run for passive income.

Great site BTW...

I have a pretty good geographical specific domain name which makes use of the word Java (there's a massive java market here).

I am worried that if I go live with my niche java jobs board that I will get a DMCA / cease and desist from Oracle as it's their trademark.

Any thoughts?

No offense, but the copy looks a bit like it was automatically generated.

Only our copy writing robot will be offended....he will be shot.

Ok! If it mentioned skills more specific than Python it would look less robotic :)

on jobboard.io the bottom of the hero unit is sticking out: http://i.imgur.com/Kz9Cg.png (chrome v23 windows 7)

Thx. Believe it or not that was intentional, but reflecting back perhaps not the best decision.
