Perfect Side Project Has Earned Him $399,109
Peter AskewFounder of RanchWork $399,109+ revenue Published April 5, 2024 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty Peter Askew is the guy behind RanchWork, a ranching job board that makes $7,400/month 
He recently tweeted…
can’t find a project to build?
go build a niche, boutique job board, and dote on that community like it was your god-child.
Alongside that he shared a screenshot of a Google search for “welding jobs” 
Sites like LinkedIn and Indeed show up atop those search results because there is no specialized job board for that kind of work.
Peter adds…
results like this tell me one thing: google WANTS to rank something better. ANYTHING. but no one has built it.
the profit-margins of a job board trump every project I’ve ever run.
job boards can be built by non-coders. if you’re a coder, even better.
job boards can be built by solo builders.
they are the perfect side project, or better yet, (eventual) full-time job. you’re helping people find new, better jobs. What beats that?
He’s right: job boards can be built easily, using a platform like JobKit (free but they take a 10% cut of your earnings) or Job Boardly (paid).
For example, it took me only 10 minutes to build this demo job board for welding jobs with JobKit 
Of course the hard part is getting traffic.
A comment on Peter’s tweet….
Indeed and LinkedIn are very hard to outrank.
And Peter’s reply…
people said the same thing to me when I started building RanchWork.
He launched RanchWork in 2014 and has been at it ever since, steadily growing the annual revenue over the years…
$399,109.44
that’s how much RanchWork․com has generated over these past 10 years.
oh – that’s right, I shouldn’t have built it, cause they told me to focus on “one project”
Sounds like he only spends a few hours a week on it, so it’s a nice and profitable side hustle.
To start your own job, Peter recommends…
go window shop niches on Indeed, pick one that seems interesting with lots of search volume & activity, buy a good-enough .com, and get to work.
there is so much opportunity in this niche, I sometimes go
cause I can’t build it all.
