Why Does Young Living Oils Use Multi-Level Marketing and Do I Have to Sell?

When I share how Young Living Essential Oils have worked for my family, I usually don’t mention the marketing aspect of it, unless I am asked. Let’s face it, the phrase multi-level marketing sends people scurrying! Most people aren’t interested and are even turned off by the idea of direct sales. I wanted to address part of the reason behind Young Living Oils doing things the way they do and to share some good news with you!

Young Living Oils does, in fact, use a direct sales, MLM system for selling their products, but why? While I have met many great people through Young Living and know some women and men who are very high up in the company, and I know they genuinely care about the product that they are giving to you, and I know they care about helping your family becoming healthy, I also know that unless Young Living is selling their products they aren’t going to be around for long! Young Living has some choices: They can pay for typical marketing,  get into some big box stores and sell their products through them, dealing with all of the issues that come from selling to a company that may or may not even care about the product, but are willing to sell because it helps their bottom line, or they could employ actual users of the oils to help “advertise” through word of mouth. They decided that rather than paying advertisers they would rather pay families who are actually using the oils! It makes perfect sense! Families who are using the oils and are seeing real benefits are more likely to spread the word and as payment for taking time to share, distributors are offered the chance to make a cut of the sales! As distributors spread the news about Young Living Oils health benefits, they can choose to make a living from it and let me tell you, the potential is awesome! I casually shared what my family was doing with Young Living Oils and before I knew it I was bringing in a reasonable and steadily increasing check each month plus getting my own oils free!


                                      

What if you wanted to use Young Living Oils but don’t wish to sell? This is what sets Young Living Oils out from many other MLM set ups. Think of Young Living as a club discount. You pay the fee ($150 for the premium kit) in return you get the 11 oils, a diffuser, samples, a roller filament, educational information, the distributor discount and the health benefits of the oils! I don’t know about you, but so far all my other “club” memberships haven’t given me anything but the right to walk through their warehouse! On top of the great things you get with the membership, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SELL! That’s right! If all you want to do is order oils for yourself and friends and family, you can do that! And guess what else? You don’t have to make a monthly purchase! You need only to make $50 in purchases over the entire year to stay active, and it gets even better. If you do happen to go inactive, you simply call, place an order and BAM!, you are reactivated. It really is that easy.

If the thought of having to deal with a multi-level marketing "scheme" has kept you from reaping the benefits of using Young Living Essential Oils, I truly hope that this post has helped quell those fears. These essential oils really work. The quality is outstanding and the company is fantastic. If you find out you love the oils enough to want to share and possibly get your oils free and maybe even make a little extra income, that is fantastic. If you just want them for yourself, that is great too! Either way, I am happy to answer questions and to help you get started!
