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.

I Found the Best Way to Make Money in the Job Market [NEED TO DO IT FAST]

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:

  1. High demand for relocation & job resources – people will search online for where to go and who can help them.
  2. 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)
Featured listings $50–$200/listing

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

  3. Start outreach to agents & recruiters.
