01 / PRODUCT & PEOPLE

Who does it serve and what problem does it solve?

It stands on the claim of "jobs you can't find on the big sites", and growth comes from creator recommendations rather than search or paid ads

Target Audience

Job seekers who want remote work and have sent many applications on large job sites without hearing back

02 / BUSINESS MODEL

How does it charge?

subscription

Not found (the homepage and /pricing show only a title); based on Revenue record's 149 subscriptions and $3,179 MRR, the average is about $21 per subscription

The above describes historical pricing. Check official website for current prices.

03 / ACQUISITION

Where do users come from?

Traffic estimate 2026-09: organic search 38%, direct 46%, referrals about 9%, and the keywords are all brand keywords (rareroles, rare roles, rarejobs), with no meaningful off-site search terms. The channels the founder self-reported on Revenue record are Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and creators, and he says "ad spend is $0 and growth is 100% from two creator co-founders", so actual acquisition looks like brand searches and direct visits brought in by creators on social media. The Stripe checkout link buy.stripe.com had 1,705 checkout visits from April to June, then dropped to zero. Existing users are retained through subscriptions, but monthly revenue has fallen every month since May.

Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.

04 / YOUR NEXT QUESTION

What remains to be verified?

The following are research questions, not established market opportunities.

  • What do target users actually pay for? Is there direct user feedback or paid interview evidence?
  • Are these historical prices still active today? What are the conversion, retention, and fulfillment costs?
  • Is the "Traffic estimate 2026-09: organic search 38%, direct 46%, referrals about 9%, and the keywords are all brand keywords (rareroles, rare roles, rarejobs), with no meaningful off-site search terms.
