Love essential oils? Want to work at home? Learn how to make money with a Young Living essential oils business. This is the ultimate guide on the business, how to get started, and how I can help you!

Do you want to find a way to make an income without sacrificing family time?

Do you want the freedom to work wherever and whenever you want?

I know exactly what that’s like. I was in your shoes. My husband and I had full-time jobs and busy lifestyles. We took our two kids to daycare, worked at our jobs, picked up the kids, ate a quick dinner, went to bed and repeated the whole process over again the next day. We were getting by, but it wasn’t the life I wanted for us or our kids. By the time my third son was born, I knew I couldn’t keep up with that routine. I’d never see my kids, and I’d likely pay more in daycare than I would be getting back with my paycheck. So we made the decision for me to stay at home with the kids.

What if I told you there was a way to make an income and work on YOUR schedule?

Have You Considered a Young Living Business?

I was introduced to essential oils through a friend, and I absolutely fell in love with them. I used them to make my own household cleaners, DIY beauty products, and so much more (check out my tutorials and recipes on how to use essential oils here). I found that I saved so much money by making my own products AND cut out toxic chemicals lurking in my home. Win-win! And since I loved them so much, I started sharing them with my friends and family.

Then it happened. I got my first check from Young Living. It felt so natural to share my love for essential oils with others, and I was getting paid to do it. That’s when I started looking into the business opportunity with Young Living.

I was able to set my own hours and work the business at home, even with three young children. Rather than work 40-60 hours at a corporate job where I had to put my kids in daycare or after-school care, I was able to build my Young Living business at home and on MY time. I still worked 25-30 hours a week at home, but I got to choose my work time. I didn’t need a babysitter to watch my kids. I regularly taught classes out of my home or local venues with my kids in tow.

Let me be really clear… this is not a get-rich-quick thing. It takes work, focus, and dedication but the time spent on my Young Living business has been so worth it for my family. Like I said, I spent 25-30 hours a week (and still do) building my Young Living business with team calls, in-person classes, social media, etc. It all just depends on your income goals.

3. Use Your Oils

Get started on any set of Young Living products, so you can begin to build up your own testimonials on the products. Your own testimonials are the best ways you can promote these products to friends, family, etc. As you start sharing, you can simply share your referral link for others to use to shop.

When you sign up with me, I will gift you reference materials to get you started so you can build up a knowledge-base. I’m here to help and support you too. But do you need to know everything? Absolutely not! No one expects you to be an expert. Even I’m still learning, and I’ve been using the oils for nearly two years. But you do want to take every chance to use the oils so you can talk about them with others.

And I recommend you take every opportunity to share your testimonials. Be sure to keep it above the wellness line. We don’t need to focus on sickness or disease. We have so much to talk about with wellness, cleaning, beauty, cooking and so much more.

I make it a point to use my essential oils in public. I’ll apply my Stress-Away roll-on while waiting in line at the grocery store. I use Thieves hand spray to clean my kids’ hands at birthday parties. I diffuse oils when I have guests over at my house. And I even post pictures of myself using essential oils on Facebook. This is not selling. This is just me using my oils.

And believe me, people will start asking about them. So what do you do then?

4. Share Your Referral Link

Rather than carry an inventory of products, you help others sign up for their own Young Living account (just share your referral link) and you’ll earn a commission on each sale. You don’t have to ship, fulfill, or handle customer service. Rather you share your referral link, and Young Living handles the rest. You can focus on education and helping them learn how use their oils.

There are so many ways to share and teach others about oils and your new Young Living business:

• Post, reel, story, or video on social media showing how you use your oils and Young Living products. Talk about how it’s helping you – maybe with sleep, focus, relaxing after a long day. Ask a question for put a poll to see if anyone is interested in getting help. You can then start up a conversation and then share your referral link.
• Teach a class in your home or via a Zoom call (we have everything you need to do it). Just set a date on your calendar, invite your friends, and use our class materials from start to finish. This could be as simple as three friends around a kitchen table, or a packed room of 20 or more. Do what feels natural for you. I personally love just sitting around my kitchen table and passing the oils around for people to try out. You can even just schedule a 1:1 with a friend who can’t make it to a class. At the end of the class, tell them how to order and give your referral link.
• Use your oils and Young Living products when you’re out and about. Bring out that Stress Away roller and use it at the school pick-up line. Someone will ask you about it and before you know it, you’ll be sharing your referral link.
• Host a vendor booth at a school bazaar or local craft fair. Showcase a theme of Young Living oils and products and let people try them out. Let them buy the products with your referral link and have it shipped directly to their door.
• Make DIY gifts with oils and Young Living products for teachers, family, and friends for the holidays. This is a great way to let others know you have a Young Living business. Include a notecard on how to order more products with your referral link.
• Let others know you are starting a Young Living business. Do a social media post or send a text to a friend who you think might be interested. Let them know they can order through you and get our team’s amazing resources – like our private Facebook group, team calls, etc. Your friends and family want to support you, but they may not even know you’ve got a Young Living business if you don’t tell them.

When you join our team, you can even plug into local and online classes we offer to our members – which is like the easy button in getting started. You invite your friends and family, we teach the classes, and you get the sign up.

5. Earn Money

Young Living’s compensation plan is very generous, and the best part about it is that you have the ability to earn an income. So how does that work?

In a nutshell, you earn a 25% commission on orders for the first 3 months (this is called the fast start bonus). After 3 months, you’ll earn a 4-8% commission on orders, depending on where they are in your organization or downline. There are a few more details to the compensation plan that you can read about here. For instance, you’ll need to have 100 CV (customer volume) to get paid – which is much simpler than you think and I’m happy to explain more on this.

So let’s say you have 3 friends order $100 each of products = you’ll earn $75 total. That’s just for sharing your referral link.

Easy peasy, right?
