Hey everyone! As developers, we're always looking for clever ways to make our lives a bit easier or earn a little extra cash. We build awesome websites, solve complex problems, and then... install a cookie banner. For years, that last part felt like just another checkbox, a necessary evil for GDPR and other privacy rules.
But what if I told you that same cookie banner could actually pay you? Yes, really! It sounds a bit strange, but I found a simple trick that turned a dull task into a nice little income, without doing any extra work. This isn't about building a huge new app or coding all night. It's about being smart with the work you already do..
My Big Idea: From Boring Task to Money Maker
Like many of you, I've tried lots of cookie banner tools. Some were hard to use, some cost too much, and some just weren't good enough for my clients. Then I found Seers.ai. I started using them for a few client jobs because their banners were truly good – easy to set up, looked nice, and followed all the important rules.
What I didn't know at first was that they had a special program just for us developers. My first thought was, "Oh, another one of those programs? Probably tiny payments and lots of hoops to jump through." But I was totally wrong. This was different.
How I Made Money from Rules
This isn't about being a pushy salesperson. It's about simply telling people about a great tool that fixes a real problem for your clients, and getting a thank-you for it.
Here’s how it works:
- You Tell a Client: When your client needs that super important cookie banner (and these days, almost every website needs one!), you just tell them about Seers.ai.
- They Get a Deal: This is the cool part for your client! They get a 15% discount on their Seers.ai plan just because you sent them. That makes you look good!
- You Get Paid: For every client who signs up using your special code, you earn a sweet 15% payment from their plan. And here’s the best part: it keeps coming in! As long as they keep using Seers.ai, you keep getting that 15% every month or year.
Just think: you're already putting a cookie banner on their site. Now, that same job adds money to your bank account.
Getting Started: So Simple, It's Almost Too Easy
We developers are busy. Adding extra steps to our work is a no-go. That’s why Seers.ai made this so simple. You can be ready to earn money in just a few minutes.
- Sign Up: Just go to Seers.ai and join their partner program. It's quick, and it costs nothing.
- Get Your Code: Once you're logged in, you'll see your unique code. Just copy it.
- Use It: You can either give your client this code, or what I often do, I'll set up their Seers.ai account and put the banner on their site for them using my code. This adds extra value to my service and makes sure it's done right.
That’s it! No hard coding, no sales calls. Just smart work.
Why Your Clients Will Love This (And You'll Love the Money)
Beyond your payments, you're really helping your clients a lot. Privacy rules like GDPR are here to stay, and getting caught without a good cookie banner can mean big fines. Seers.ai takes away that worry by giving them:
- A 15% Discount: Your clients get a nice 15% off their plan just for being your referral!
- Full Rule Following: Keeps your clients safe from big fines and legal problems. Seers.ai stays up-to-date with rules so you and your clients don't have to.
- Looks Great Anywhere: The banners can be changed to match any website's look, and they work perfectly on phones, tablets, and computers.
- Works with Any Website: WordPress, Shopify, custom code – it doesn't matter. It just works. By offering this, you're not just earning; you're being a truly helpful and trusted partner to your clients.
Final Thoughts
As developers, we often chase the next big idea — but sometimes the simplest tweaks to our workflow can open up new opportunities.
If you’re already helping clients stay compliant, why not turn that into a win-win?
You help them. You earn. Everyone wins.
Would love to hear if you’ve tried something similar.
