How to Turn WordPress Into a Job Board & Earn Money
Creating a jobs board for your personal or business blog that is powered by WordPress (an open source content management system) requires the assistance of WordPress plug-ins or WordPress themes designed by third-party developers. WordPress plug-ins and WordPress themes (also known as WordPress blog templates) are installed from the official WordPress directory, as well as from the website of the third-party developer (the latter which is available for free or for a fee). You will need to follow the instructions within the respective plug-in or theme on how to integrate an e-commerce payment account system for your WordPress powered jobs board website.
