I am building a site for location independent jobs for digital nomads to live and work from anywhere. It's almost one month old. I've shared it on HN too and got 120 upvotes.
This week it made its first sale. A recruiter from Canada bought the first job ad on my site for $49.<p>The money is only a little, but it's enough validation that my idea can fit in. So, I am excited about it.<p>Throughout the past month, this project has got mixed opinions. Some even said that I should get a proper job instead of wasting time on this. But I chose to keep working on the project because I was learning a lot - SEO, UX, Cron jobs, Lambda functions, etc.<p>I thought of sharing this with you. I am happy to answer any questions. And also I'd appreciate your ideas on how can I attract recruiters to my site further.
