I've been consistently getting 60% of my traffic from no source, every analytics dashboard says Direct. and I've tried them all. I simply can't imagine people typing in website URL directly since it's a two-month old SAAS.
So can anyone help me with this?

I built a remote job board, from a small town in the Himalayas, because I was tired of remote job boards that show you the same 200 jobs everyone else is also applying to.
But finding the job was never really the hard part. Applying to the right ones, consistently, tailoring cover letter, answering questionnaire, filling forms, that too without burning out, was.
That's what AutoApply is built for. It's live today. 🎉
It matches you to roles based on your actual background, not keyword stuffing. It writes tailored cover letters. It tracks everything in one place so you're not managing your job search across 15 browser tabs and a spreadsheet.
A few things it does not do: it does not promise you a job. It does not spam recruiters. It does not pretend AI can replace judgment on something this personal to your career.
What it does is remove the repetitive parts so you can spend your time on the parts that actually need a human, like working on your skills and preparing for interviews.
If you're job hunting right now and want to check it out, pls comment.
Built by one person. Still improving it every week based on what people tell me is broken.

I'm getting sick of how much of redtape is there with indian payment gateway. One rejected my LOB because my website lists crypto jobs. Even though my business have nothing to do with crypto trading, advertising any platform whatsover.
Another one is asking me to show 5 Lakh revenue as pre-requisite for enabling international payments. WTF! My pricing is in dollar, majority of customers are non-indian.
It's just a mess!
Been lurking here for a while. Six months ago I was applying to remote jobs and half of them were ghost listings. No response, job already filled, company not even hiring.
So I built a job board that only pulls from actual ATS systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby). No scraped LinkedIn reposts, no ghost jobs. Direct links to the real application.
Recently added an AutoApply feature where we apply on your behalf: ~20 highly matched applications a month, tailored cover letter for each one. Not spray and pray.
Opened the waitlist a few weeks ago, wasn't expecting much. 19 spots left at early-bird pricing.
Happy to answer questions about how it works or the job board in general.
I built a remote job board like a month ago and this is what I'm what seeing on Bing Webmaster tools. I'm not sure how to judge it? Is it decent or can be better?
I've been living in Old Manali since 2018, I get asked the same three things constantly by family, friends, strangers, tourists:
Is it snowing in Manali? Is Atal Tunnel open? Is Rohtang Pass open?
So I built a site that answers all three, straight from someone who's actually here.
No fluff. Just status updates: https://manali.today
On this site, I just post the actual current status of all three, based on what I'm seeing and hearing from people on the ground here. No weather-API guessing, no scraped data. Just someone local checking and updating it.
Still very bare-bones (it's literally three pages right now) but figured this sub would actually find it useful, or at least have opinions on what's missing. Open to feedback.
Every year I see families spending a shit ton of money to visit Manali, but only to be stuck in traffic and chaos. And what makes me sad is imagining how they must have saved money all year long, going through the stress of work and planning only to have this terrible experience.
​
Then I see braindead people on internet posting long traffic lines and asking people to not visit Manali or any hill station during this time. What they don't understand is that everyone doesn't have the privilege to visit anytime they want. Summers is the only time most families can manage a week or two to take a break. Children have summer vacation, grandparents cannot handle mountains winters and so on.
​
So here's how to plan your summer visit to Manali:
​
First of all, avoid tour agencies like plague. You'll handover your peace and planning to them. Just book a good place, ask them to arrange pickup if you're coming by bus. And avoid Nasogi, Mall road, Siyal area.
​
Instead find a place either in Shanag, Burwa, Jagatsukh or upper Naggar. Before booking a place, figure out if there's a meadow close-by or a simple small hike. Spend more time with your family in a good place sorrounded by great views, than stuck in traffic and chaos trying to check many boxes.
​
Just do that, and you'll have a great time. Bring some story book, or board games. Read some history about the place, about our philosophical legends who lived and studied in this place. Be it Manu, Gautam, Jamdagini, Vyas, Vashisht, Kalpa, Kashyap and so on. Tell your parents and kids about the philosophy and stories of these legends.
​
Here are the places any tour guide will suggest and here's how they score in peak season time:
​
Atal Tunnel: Great views and good ride, but no point doing this time of the view. You'll spend 10-12 hours from Manali to Sissu. Avoid. But if you do cross tunnel, don't take U-turn from Sissu, visit Gondhla village, there's a 400- years old fort over there. Ruined, Abandoned. But check it out, and read about it.
​
Rohtang: Not worth it if you've experienced snow before. Maybe visit in winter to experience it in a better way.
​
Hidimba/Manu Temple: Unless you want to seek blessings from the mother and Manu Devta, not worth stuck in traffic and in queues.
​
Clubhouse: Big No. Unless you want to play some games with your family. They have snooker, Table-tennis, Pool, Carrom, Badminton (closed for now).
​
What I'd do if I were bringing my family: Find a place near Shanag or Burwa. Take them for picnic towards the meadow. And visit Hidimba temple early in the morning, since we're shakti worshipper. Or Mall road for shopping. That's it.
**What is this work?**
AI companies pay people to rate, compare, and correct AI outputs. Called RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback). Every major AI model — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — was trained partly using this feedback.
Tasks range from "pick the better AI response" to "write a complex prompt that exposes a model's weakness" to "produce high-quality content for the AI to train on."
The more expertise you have, the more you earn. A beginner earns $15-20/hr. A doctor or senior engineer doing the same type of work earns $100-200+/hr.
**One rule across all platforms: don't use AI to do the tasks.** They detect it. Bans are permanent.
**Platforms — honest breakdown**
**Open globally (no US required):**
* **Outlier.ai** — $20-35/hr realistic for most people. Most popular platform in this space. Requires a skill assessment. Work comes in campaigns and can dry up between them. 61 countries. * **Alignerr** — $14-20/hr. Easiest to get into. Short AI interview to onboard. Good first platform if you're new to this. * **Mindrift** — $15-30/hr. Best for writers. Creative writing, storytelling, RLHF tasks. * **Remo Experts (rex.zone)** — $25-45/hr minimum. More cognitively demanding than most. Builds a profile that unlocks higher-paying work over time. Worth it if you want to grow earnings. * **Appen** — $10-15/hr realistic. One of the oldest platforms. Steady work but pay is lower. Good if you want something consistent. * **Lionbridge / Aurora AI** — $12-25/hr. Better rates if you speak multiple languages. Apply via Aurora AI for faster onboarding. * **Toloka** — $3-6/hr honest average. Yandex-backed. Only worth it if higher-paying platforms aren't available in your country. * **Clickworker** — $6-10/hr. Simple tasks. Use as a stepping stone, not a destination.
**US and select countries only (higher pay, restricted access):**
* **DataAnnotation.tech** — $20-40/hr. Higher quality tasks. Coding and reasoning pay more. Assessment required, expect 3-14 days to hear back. * **Mercor** — $40-400/hr. Floor is \~$40. PhD-level and medical/legal roles hit the top. Resume + AI interview to apply. * **Scale AI** — $25-65/hr. Works with major AI labs. Requires real technical expertise. Not beginner-friendly. * **Surge AI** — $15-50/hr. NLP and expert annotation. Domain expertise in law/medicine/STEM helps a lot. * **MTurk** — avoid unless you're US-based. Non-US workers get Amazon gift cards, not cash. Median earnings are \~$2/hr after idle time.
**Realistic expectations:**
* Work is project-based. Platforms have dry spells. Don't rely on one platform. * Advertised rates are ceilings. You'll start lower and build. * Apply to multiple platforms at once. Most treat you as a contractor and don't restrict you. * Assessments are real. Low-quality work gets you removed.
**Scam red flags:**
* They contact you via WhatsApp or Telegram with an "opportunity" * They ask you to pay anything before starting * They promise guaranteed monthly earnings * They have no verifiable website, LinkedIn, or Crunchbase presence
Stick to the platforms listed above and you'll be fine.
**Where to start depending on your situation:**
* **No experience, outside US** → Alignerr or Mindrift first, then Outlier once you have a feel for it * **No experience, US-based** → DataAnnotation.tech or Outlier * **Have coding/STEM background** → Apply to Mercor and DataAnnotation immediately, they pay significantly more * **Domain expert (doctor, lawyer, researcher)** → Mercor and Scale AI are worth prioritizing, the pay gap is real
Happy to answer questions.
