Thanks! What price range would you expect for this type of service?

Noted for the bullet list, I agree with some images for that part it would be easier to digest.

Hi HN, I founded ShopManager as a side-project after finding that a lot of my clients were asking for a service similar to this.

Happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks!

Depends on your niche.

If you are catering to a very select, focused audience then you don't need volume, because the specificity is your selling point.

There is a lot more than traffic that companies look for in a job board. Since your site is based around educational content, try to find profitable, untapped markets related to this and focus on only those markets at the beginning.

You can be creative with this: for example, hedge funds routinely pay top dollar to find the best PhD students in math-related subjects, so maybe there is a way to bring both together.

Love the app and gladly paid the full price. Only downside for me so far is the image quality -- most look ok, but many look bad with really low resolutions, even on my non-retina MBA.

I have a hyphenated first name, and was told it was invalid. Replaced the hyphen with a space, was again told my first name was invalid.

Maybe worth looking into your broken name validation.
