Monetization Programs

I'd like to hear from Job Board Owners what monetization vendors and programs are working for them...for example Career Testing, Resume Reveiw/Creation, Coaching, Education, Google AdSense, etc. Which ones are worthwhile? I'm more interested in hearing from board owners rather than vendors themselves.

Comment by Weekhang Teoh on August 7, 2009 at 12:05pm: Let me leave Google Adsense out of the picture first.
We have done all the above and we find that education is the most profitable and most worthwhile.
Why so?
- you can resell many types of education programs that are relevant to your user base.
- you can't do that with career testing and coaching - you can't be selling too many of them at the same time.

Google AdSense
- it's free money, how much you get depends on your traffic, period. If it's not against your design / usability policy, just put it there.

Comment by David on August 10, 2009 at 3:17am: a new idea is www.jobg8.com

check it out.

i think this is one of the best affiliate ways for a job board to make money (with some bias of course :)

Comment by Chris Russell on August 10, 2009 at 10:06am: i used to use commission junction, they had some career affiliate products...

Comment by Jay Rollins on August 10, 2009 at 11:07am: Chris, any net you more than a couple hundred a month. I think that's a good cutoff for any of these programs being worthwhile...from a time and space perspective.
