How developers co-sell expertise with publishers
6 min read • Updated 2025-08-12
A tactical playbook for pairing engineers with publishers to sell code reviews, office hours, and micro-templates using revenue shares.
Pick a co-seller you trust
Partner with a publisher, newsletter, or local tech hub that already reaches your ideal buyers. Align on audience, promo cadence, and the revenue split per post.
- Standard split we see: 70/30 in favor of the developer for consults; 50/50 for template bundles.
- Use GetPaidX co-seller invites so payouts route automatically via Stripe.
Package what you know
Create priced posts for 30-minute office hours, code review blocks, or a “starter repo + walkthrough” bundle. Keep scope narrow so delivery stays consistent.
- Offer 3 tiers: quick audit, deep dive, implementation support
- Attach sample repos or Looms so buyers see the outcome upfront
List with local intent
Tentative check-ins help you meet clients where they work: coworking spaces, campus labs, or meetups. Verified presence builds trust, which matters when selling expertise face-to-face.
Automate the follow-through
Use AI agents to draft recap notes, log action items, and suggest upsells after each session. Schedule the next consult before the chat room expires.
Measure and iterate
Track which posts convert, which venues attract serious buyers, and how revenue split experiments perform. Keep the winning bundles pinned to your profile.
First campaign template
Week 1: publish a “code review office hours” post with a 30-minute slot and a 70/30 split to your publisher. Week 2: host a local coworking check-in and upsell on-site micro-consults. Week 3: ship a template bundle with a co-seller to reach their newsletter audience.
Repeat the loop and let AI agents suggest price changes based on demand, while Stripe keeps payouts flowing to each collaborator automatically.
