Community owners and niche experts who want a job board their audience actually needs.
Where to start in Lovable
Paste this into Lovable as the opening prompt. It sets up one screen and one job, which is easier to grow from.
Build a niche remote job board. Employers post a job with title, description, salary range and an apply link or email, paying to publish. Seekers browse, filter by seniority and tags, and apply directly. Add paid featured posts, an admin review before jobs go live, email alerts for new matching jobs, and an auto-expiry so stale listings drop off.
What you will need to wire up

Build order
- Narrow beats broad every time. A general remote job board is a graveyard. A board for Rust jobs, or design jobs at climate startups, has an audience that checks it daily. Pick the niche first.
- Job alerts build the audience. Email alerts for new matching jobs turn one-time visitors into a subscriber list, which is what employers are actually paying to reach.
- Auto-expiry keeps it fresh. Nothing kills a job board like months-old filled positions. Expire listings automatically so the board always looks current and worth checking.
Where this usually breaks
- Same cold-start trap as any marketplace: no jobs, no seekers, no jobs. Seed with real listings you find and repost (with credit and a link) until employers come on their own.
- Scraping other boards to fill yours gets legally and ethically murky fast. Prefer posting with attribution and a link back, or hand-curating, over silent scraping.
How it makes money
- Pay per job post. The standard job-board model. Employers pay to post, seekers browse free.
- Featured post upsell. A higher tier that pins the job to the top and includes it in the email alert. Easy extra revenue per post.
