I Found the Best Way to Make Money in the Job Market [NEED TO DO IT FAST]
Tap into the H1B relocation crisis by building a niche job directory and get paid up to $15,000 per referral.

Why this works
Trump’s $100k H1B fee and restrictions are pushing many skilled Indian workers and other foreign graduates out of the U.S. This creates two key opportunities:
- High demand for relocation & job resources – people will search online for where to go and who can help them.
- Big commissions for recruiters – placing a skilled tech worker can pay $5k–$20k per hire.
You can capture both audiences: job seekers and recruiters/agents.
Step 1: Build the Jobs Directory

-
Platform: Use Directify to spin up a quick, SEO-friendly directory site.
-
Categories: Organize by job type (Tech, Healthcare, Engineering), city/country (Canada, Australia, India, Germany, etc.), and visa type.
-
Listings: Initially, you can scrape or manually collect recruiter/agent listings and job openings targeting H1B talent.
-
Traffic Monetization:
- Referral traffic: link to agent websites with your tracking link.
- AdSense & display ads: tech and immigration-related ads pay high CPMs.
Pro tip: Optimize for search queries like “H1B jobs in Canada,” “H1B relocation agencies,” and “Indian tech jobs abroad.”
Step 2: Connect Job Seekers with Agents
-
Recruitment commissions: Many agencies pay $5k–$20k per successful placement. You can act as the referral intermediary:
- Send vetted candidates to agents.
- Collect a flat referral fee or percentage of the placement.
-
How to reach agents: LinkedIn, specialized Facebook/Telegram groups, and existing H1B community networks.
-
Automation tip: Create a simple “Submit Resume” form with Zapier or Airtable that forwards resumes to agents and logs commissions.
Step 3: Promote Your Directory
- SEO focus: Target queries about H1B layoffs, visa fees, relocation, and alternative countries.
- Social media & forums: Reddit subreddits (/r/H1B, /r/IndianImmigrants), Telegram/Discord groups, Facebook groups.
- Email capture: Offer free relocation guides or job tips in exchange for emails. Upsell agents’ services via newsletter.
Step 4: Scale & Monetize Both Ends
-
Traffic monetization: More visitors = higher AdSense and referral revenue.
-
Agent monetization: Build long-term relationships with recruiters/relocation agencies. Exclusive deals mean higher referral fees.
-
Additional ideas:
- Paid “Featured Job” spots for recruiters.
- Banner ads for immigration lawyers, relocation services, and job fairs.
- Affiliate partnerships with relocation services (housing, flights, relocation insurance).
Step 5: Operational Notes
- Content updates: Add fresh jobs daily or weekly, tips for H1B holders, country-specific relocation guides.
- Trust signals: Include testimonials from candidates you’ve helped and vetted agents.
- Legal compliance: Disclose referral fees, follow privacy rules for handling candidate data.
Example Earnings
| Revenue Source | Estimate / Month |
|---|---|
| AdSense & display ads | $300–$1,000 |
| Referral fees from agents | $5k–$15k (per placement) |

Even a few placements a month can make this side hustle very profitable.
