Overview
<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>I built this website as a job board initially but later had to make a pivot to a directory of boilerplates, code templates and starterkits because of tough competition and also the wordpress limitation on what I could achieve.</p><p>After making the pivot the growth is quite slowly but still on average we get 50+ visitors per week.</p><p><b>Key highlights:<b></b></b></p><ul><li>$81 Total Revenue</li><li>1.2k sessions past 90 days</li><li>51 Code templates currently listed</li></ul><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><p>Wordpress and Make.com for automating social media updates when new templates are listed.</p><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><ul><li>Actively promoted the product through Reddit and other social media platforms/forums</li><li>Focused on SEO for different pages and sub category pages</li><li>Focus on reviewing products relevant to the niche for building topical authority in this niche</li></ul><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><p>The primary revenue stream for the directory comes from affiliate commissions on templates listed on our platform. Currently, we have only nine affiliate templates, while the rest are included based on genuine interest and user feedback. This approach ensures the best experience for both developers seeking high-quality code templates and those selling them.</p><p><b>Startup assets<b></b></b></p><ul><li>Website</li><li>Social Media accounts</li><li>Access to Domain and Hosting both of which will expire in 2026</li><li>Transfer of Google Analytics, Adsense and Microsoft Clarity</li></ul><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>The foundation is already built—all you need to do is add more code templates. You could also consider launching a job board, as I originally envisioned. I had to pivot due to the 'chicken and egg' problem with marketplaces like job boards. By expanding into both a job board and a directory of code templates, you can attract developers as well as tech companies looking for talent, making it a great revenue booster.</p></br>✅ $81 in Annual Revenue✅ 400 customers✅ Business model: Sponsorship✅ Built with WordPress, Zapier, Google Analytics
