Want to make money with affiliate marketing — but you don’t want to show your face?
Good news: You absolutely can.
In fact, many successful affiliate marketers stay completely behind the scenes while still earning thousands each month.

In this guide, I’ll show you step-by-step how to do affiliate marketing without showing your face, including how to use theme pages to grow even faster.

Let’s dive in!

Why You Don’t Need to Show Your Face to Succeed

You don’t need to be an influencer, a YouTuber, or a personal brand to win at affiliate marketing.
Instead, you can focus on:

Solving problems
Sharing helpful resources
Building anonymous theme pages or content

People care more about what you can help them with than who you are.

Step 1: Pick a Niche You Can Build Content Around

Since you won’t be using your personal face or brand, you need a niche where people care about the topic, not the person.

Good faceless niches include:

Motivational quotes
Fitness tips
Tech gadgets
DIY projects
Personal finance advice
Pet care
Skincare tips
Home decor ideas

👉 Tip: Pick something you can create lots of helpful or inspiring content about without needing to show yourself.

Step 2: Choose Affiliate Products to Promote

Once you have a niche, find affiliate programs that match it.

Examples:

Health niche → Fitness gear, supplements (ClickBank, Amazon)
Tech niche → Laptops, phones, software (Amazon, Impact.com)
Finance niche → Credit card offers, budgeting tools (FlexOffers)
Pet niche → Pet food, toys, grooming tools (Chewy Affiliate Program)

Look for:

Products that solve real problems
Decent commissions (10%-50%)
Trusted brands (easy to sell)

Step 3: Build a Faceless Content Strategy

Here are powerful ways to promote affiliate links without showing your face:

1. Pinterest Marketing

Create beautiful pins promoting products, how-to tips, or “best of” guides — all linking to your affiliate offers.

Use Canva to design pins
Post consistently
Focus on SEO keywords

2. YouTube Faceless Videos

You can create:

Slide shows
Stock video compilations
Voice-over tutorials (or even AI voiceovers)
Screen recordings (e.g., “Top 5 Best Laptops for Students”)

Tools to help:

Canva (for video templates)
InVideo or Pictory.ai (turn text into video)
Screen recorders like OBS Studio

3. Blogging with Pen Names

You can run a blog under a pen name (or just the site name) without ever posting personal pictures.

Start simple with free platforms like Medium, or create your own blog using WordPress.

Step 4: Use “Theme Pages” to Scale Fast

One of the fastest ways to grow anonymously is by building theme pages on social media.

What is a theme page?
A theme page is a social media account (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or Pinterest) centered around a specific topic, NOT a person.

Examples:

An Instagram page posting motivational quotes daily
A TikTok account sharing “Top 5 Tech Gadgets”
A Pinterest board dedicated to DIY home hacks

How to grow a theme page:

Post consistently (at least once a day)
Focus on viral, shareable content
Use trending sounds (on TikTok) or hashtags (on Instagram)
Curate content: You can repost other content legally by giving proper credit, or create your own with Canva

How to monetize it with affiliate links:

Add your affiliate link to your bio (“Check out the best [product] here”)
Create posts or videos featuring products (“Top 5 fitness gadgets for 2025!”)
Link to free resources or mini-courses (with your affiliate links inside)

👉 Tip: Build a simple Linktree or Beacons page if you want to share multiple affiliate links from one bio.

Step 5: Always Disclose Your Affiliate Links

Even when you’re faceless, you must be transparent.
In your posts or link descriptions, add a small note:

“This post contains affiliate links”
“I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”

It’s required by law (FTC guidelines) and builds trust with your audience.
