Seven Affiliate Income Tips from Successful Faceless Instagram Accounts

When people think of successful Lifestyle influencers, they often imagine faces front and center in every post. However, some ShopYourLikes creators are proving that you don’t need to be the star of your content to build trust, engagement, and a reliable income stream. Here’s how three unique, faceless Instagram accounts have cultivated dedicated followings and turned their content into consistent affiliate revenue through ShopYourLikes:

Kerry of @johnston.designs_

Kerry Johnston, or @johnston.designs_, exemplifies the success of faceless content in the Home Decor niche. With captivating before-and-after transformations and catchy decor advice, Kerry has grown a loyal community that trusts her recommendations and engages with her affiliate links.

Kerry’s strategy is about showing, not telling. By allowing her design work to take center stage, she leads her audience visually to product recommendations. The seamless integration of her affiliate links keeps her audience engaged without feeling pressured.

B of @bravoandcocktails_

B, the creator of @bravoandcocktails_, has carved out a niche much like a media company would through anonymous celebrity and reality TV gossip. This category of sensitive, and sometimes crowd-sourced content generates intrigue and suspense while also maintaining B’s privacy.

Followers feel like they’re part of a private club, which fuels engagement and positions the account as a trusted source for updates and trending recommendations.

It’s important to highlight that B’s account is not inherently tied to affiliate linking or product promotion. B simply saw an opportunity to share affiliate links alongside her daily posts. Below is an example of what her product recommendations look like.  

B built this faceless affiliate revenue stream by doing the following:

1. Analyzing her own audience insights 

2. Joining an affiliate monetization platform like ShopYourLikes 

3. Quickly moving to find and share deals and product recommendations to followers that the audience will like

Whether for privacy reasons or a focus on content, going faceless can be a powerful strategy for success with affiliate marketing on ShopYourLikes.
