Wow – that is the job I want – posting ads into sites that don’t want them and getting paid.  That sounds even better then telemarketing… Wait, it is better then telemarketing because you don’t really need to interact with people.  This sucks.  It could be a growing trend – wait, it actually is as evidenced by some emails I received in error that were meant for someone else.

So what can be done about this?

Social Media Jobs, Turn Your Passion into a Profession

Posted by cheuer in Social Media Club, SocialMedia, Web2.0 on January 18th, 2008

Social Media JobsA few weeks ago I got an offer for one of the domains I own, socialmediajobs.com/ then I got another, and another. Since they were all through brokers, except for one, I never really had a conversation with any of them to see what they might really be willing to pay, but I did realize I need to start doing something with all the domains I own. So I decided I should just go ahead and finally launch it myself rather than accepting the offer, which was around $1,000.

Fortunately, I remembered talking with JobThreads a year ago, which has since made their service much easier to use and much more friendlier to launch in this way. At the moment, and for the next month, job postings will be free, but after that I hope to start charging some fair fee. So that’s where you come in. What’s fair for a job posting site? Is the $75 Craigslist charges fair?

In the meantime, check it out and let me know what you think I should do to make it better…
