As a personal stylist, you’re no stranger to the pressure of always looking polished and put-together. Your audience expects a certain standard, and being "on" can feel like a full-time job. But what if you could grow your income without leaving your living room, let alone changing out of your comfy clothes? Enter affiliate marketing—a simple, effective way to add an additional income stream to your styling business.

Affiliate marketing involves promoting other people’s products or services and earning a commission for every sale made through your referral link. This approach doesn’t require creating new products or managing complex logistics—just a genuine recommendation and the ability to connect people with something valuable.

​Let’s dive into how affiliate marketing can work for you, using my own affiliate program as an example, and how you can implement it seamlessly into your styling business.

One of the biggest perks of affiliate marketing is its flexibility. Unlike many aspects of running a styling business, affiliate marketing doesn’t require you to be front-facing. No makeup, no perfectly styled hair, no curated outfits—just you, sharing your expertise and recommendations.

As stylists, we’re often asked for advice beyond our core services. Whether it’s recommending products, training programs, or tools of the trade, our clients trust our insights. This makes affiliate marketing a natural fit—you’re already sharing advice, so why not monetize it?

​In my own business, I’ve recently embraced affiliate marketing as a way to diversify my income streams. While I’ve primarily focused on selling my own programs in the past, affiliating with other trusted brands has opened up exciting new opportunities. For instance, I’m now affiliated with ClickFunnels, promoting their One Funnel Away Challenge and their funnel and blogging tools, which I use and love.

If you’re a personal stylist, there’s an even more tailored way to get started with affiliate marketing: promoting my Certified Online Colour Analysis Expert program. This program offers stylists comprehensive training in colour analysis, equipping them with the skills and confidence to deliver exceptional results for their clients.

Here’s how the affiliate program works:

1. Sign Up as an Affiliate: Once you sign up, you’ll receive your unique affiliate link.

2. Share Your Link: When someone asks about becoming a colour consultant, you simply share your link.

3. Earn Commission: If they purchase the program through your link, you earn a 40% commission.

Currently, the Certified Online Colour Analysis Expert program is priced at $1,759 USD. With a 40% commission rate, you’ll earn $703.60 per sale. That’s a substantial income for simply recommending a program you trust.

One of the most appealing aspects of affiliate marketing is its simplicity. Unlike creating and selling your own products or services, affiliating requires minimal effort on your part. Here’s how easy it can be:

1. Someone approaches you about training as a colour consultant.

2. You share your affiliate link.

3. They purchase the program.

4.You receive your commission.

That’s it! I handle all the logistics, including processing payments and delivering the program. Your role is simply to make the connection.

As stylists, we’re natural connectors. We’re accustomed to recommending products, brands, and services that align with our clients’ needs. Many of us find it easier to promote others’ offerings than our own—a phenomenon I’ve noticed in my own career. Recommending a trusted program or product feels less like a hard sell and more like sharing something valuable.

This makes affiliate marketing a perfect fit for stylists. By affiliating with a program like mine, you’re helping others while growing your own income. It’s a win-win.

How much you earn through affiliate marketing depends on the effort you put into promoting your link. Some stylists may generate occasional commissions from word-of-mouth referrals, while others might actively market the program to their networks. Here are a few strategies to maximize your earnings:

1. Leverage Social Media: Share your experiences with the program and why you recommend it.

2. Create Content: Write blog posts or record videos discussing the benefits of colour analysis training.

3. Host Events: Offer taster sessions or mini-consultations that showcase the value of colour analysis, then share your affiliate link with interested participants.

4. Email Marketing: Include your affiliate link in your newsletter, along with testimonials or success stories from the program.

Affiliate marketing isn’t just about earning extra income. It’s about building a business that aligns with your long-term goals. For me, that means creating a sustainable, flexible business model that supports my lifestyle as an expat and allows me to work well into my seventies and beyond. Affiliate marketing plays a key role in achieving that vision, and it can do the same for you.

​If you’re ready to explore this opportunity, I’m here to help. As part of my affiliate program, I’ll provide training to ensure you have the tools and knowledge to succeed.
