Comment How To Make Money Online

1st Year Niche Jobs Marketplace Earns $100,000

Alessandro Kling
  • Alessandro Kling

  • Co-founder of FiveTeams
  • $100,000 revenue in first year

You can see it at FiveTeams.com.

By default the site is in German, since it’s targeting the German market 🇩🇪

A recent profile describes the niche…

​​FiveTeams specifically focuses on people who are presently working at an international tech company. Someone who’s not exactly looking for a job actively but might consider switching to a different role if a better job or a higher salary is offered.

Looks like the site was launched in 2021 and I believe their main revenue stream is via recruitment fees paid by employers 💰

Here’s the real kicker though: the site was built out in 2.5 months with a no-code tech stack.

The story goes that one of the co-founders was trying to code up the website himself initially…

Alessandro started watching Javascript tutorials on YouTube.

During one such session of learning to buildd a multi-step form in 6 hours, Alessandro found the solution to all his problems. The top comment under that video read: “Why not build it on Bubble in 5 minutes?”.

(Bubble has a free plan you can practice with, btw.)

The no-code tech stack used by FiveTeams costs them about €500 per month.

Whereas…

​​If they would have taken the traditional route to buildd the platform their cost would be between €800K to over one million. Their overall production cost is only 5-10% of that!

Noted at the end of that profile 👇

It’s also quite hard to find great Bubble developers compared to finding web developers.

Freelance Bubble developer?

Worth considering if you’re looking for a marketable skill to build.
