No more, "I can't do that until I get my morning coffee." This is important because I get my highest quality work done in the mornings.
Unlike the author, I've almost been lured back by the idea of "bullet proof coffee."

Most companies are very familiar with this type of contract.

These contracts made building the JobPosts and driving traffic worth my time(contract = collect a sizable a fee when someone you refer to a position gets hired).
JobPosts drive the organic traffic to JobBoards, so make sure you take SEO into consideration when posting.
I also started with a much lower rate to post on the JobBoard, never free, but as low as $29 at one point. As the traffic grew, so did the price. Now a JobPost costs $349.

The JobBoard is a great way to get some passive income, but, there is a lot more money to be made if you want to devote your time to recruiting.
Having a non-recruiting domain in the space you want to recruit in is a huge advantage when getting both JobBoard and recruiting leads.
Definitely focus your recruiting efforts in one locale at first. DC, SF and NYC are the top markets if you are based in the US.
The JobBoard should be worldwide (easier to facilitate than restricting it anyway).

The amount you make from the Job Board post is heavily dependent on the amount social followers (drives traffic and makes purchasing more appealing).
https://www.angularjobs.com started making ~$1000/month in revenue with a highly targeted social reach of ~10k followers.
Technical co-founder type? Take what you know about programming and offer recruiting services to the early users of your site. Both companies and developers visit job boards, providing both the clients and talent needed to collect recruitment fees(over 10K in major US cities).
My main gig is http://www.LinkPlugApp.com where I play a technical role.
LinkPlug is how I drive traffic to the JobBoard from social media accounts like the ones below(click a tweeted link to see an ad for the JobBoard):
