Your audience doesn’t want a pitch. They want proof.

The best affiliate content doesn’t feel like a promo - it feels like a recommendation from someone they trust. That’s where you come in.

You don’t need a huge following to make an impact. You just need your voice, your experience, and a little creative spark.

Let’s break down 5 content styles that build real connection and commission.

Consult a Client With Me

Ever wished you could be a fly on the wall during another nail tech’s client consult? This content gives your audience exactly that.

Hit record while you walk a client through choosing their service, color, or nail art. Let people hear the questions you ask. The options you suggest. The tiny insider tips you drop without even thinking.

It’s casual, unscripted, and insanely relatable. And because you’re genuinely helping someone make the best choice, it doesn’t feel salesy. It feels like a peek into your process.

Drop in those product mentions naturally - “I’m leaning toward Luxa Matrix for this set because it’ll be strong without adding bulk.”

Now you’ve just shown your audience what it looks like to be both an expert and a trusted advisor.

The best part? This format works whether it’s a live consult, a voiceover recap, or short clips stitched together with captions. Either way, it builds trust and curiosity.

Honest Reviews & Comparisons

You’re not a walking ad. You’re a trusted voice. Clearly lay out the pros and cons between two products and watch your people tune in.

Take these talking points for example : Luxa Build 2 versus Luxa Matrix. 

Build self levels like a champ - perfect for overlays. Matrix stays put until you move it - ideal for building an apex. 

What works. What doesn’t. What you prefer and why. That’s valuable insight.

And here’s the part that surprises people… being honest, even when it’s not glowing, builds more trust than any perfect pitch. Because real always wins.

Problem-Solving Content

You’re a nail tech. That means you’re basically a beauty engineer.

When your content addresses the problems your audience deals with daily, it clicks. Literally.

Bubbling? Chipping? Lifting three days in? Talk about the why and what’s actually helped you fix it.

“If your gel’s bubbling, it might be your lamp, not the product. I switched to a thinner base and started getting perfect cures every time.”

You’re not just saying, “Buy this.” You’re saying, “Here’s how I leveled up my results.” And that’s what gets people to trust and try.

UGC & Client Reposts

The fastest way to build trust? Show proof. Real people. Real results.

Got a client who sent you a glowing selfie? Repost it, with their permission, of course. Talk about the Luxa shade they picked, how long it lasted, and why they were obsessed.

Maybe they wore “Skinny Dip” for their engagement party. Maybe “Mocha Mainstream” was their first fall mani, and they’re already begging for a refill.

You’re not just showing off a product. You’re sharing a moment. When your audience sees your clients loving what you love, it hits differently.

That’s not hype. That’s validation.

Ingredient or Product Explainers

You’ve got the knowledge. You’ve got the experience. Now show it, without going full science textbook.

Educational content builds quiet authority. You’re teaching, not preaching. You’re sharing, not selling.

Examples:
“Why I always cap the free edge, and what happens when I don’t.”
“This is my favorite Luxa top coat, and here’s why I love it so much.”

Use plain language. Give real examples. Maybe even demo it live. You want them to think, “Ohhh, that finally makes sense.”

Because when your audience understands the why, they’re way more likely to trust the what.

And that kind of trust pays off.

You’ve Got This. Seriously.

Maybe you’re still thinking, “What if I mess it up?” or “What if nobody watches?”

Totally fair. Posting can feel weird at first, like talking into the void. 

But that GRWM video you almost deleted? The client photo you weren’t sure about? That might be the content that earns someone’s trust and puts a commission into your pocket.

You already know what works. You already use the products. And now? You’ve got the playbook.

So show up. Post boldly. Speak casually. Help generously.

Because you're not just an affiliate for Luxa. You’re a leader.

And your audience? They’re ready to follow your lead.

Let’s go light it up. 🖤
