HOW to enroll with Young Living to get Essential Oils

At the bottom of each post, I share a short statement about how to purchase Young Living products. Today I wanted to answer some questions I get about enrollment and gather some resources that explain the process.

*How do I sign up on the website?
At the top right of your computer screen or the bottom of your mobile screen, there is a "Become a member" link. You will be taken to a page where you choose to be a retail or wholesale member (more on these options below). Then it will take you to a page to choose a starter kit. There are various types, with different overall costs, so choose what makes sense for your family's WHY. Maybe it's the small cheap starter with sample oils, or the full Thieves cleaning kit, or the premium starter kit with the oils and a diffuser (best value and where I started). Here’s an easy to follow click-by-click video from Young Living that shows exactly how to sign-up on the website: https://vimeo.com/147354370

*What are the Pros and Cons? 


*What is a wholesale account?
By signing up for a wholesale account on the website you are getting 24% off Young Living products. This is definitely the cheapest way to purchase Young Living. By being a wholesale member, you are classified as a “distributor” for Young Living. This does NOT mean you are obligated to sell – ever (seriously!! I had a wholesale account for a year before I decided to sponsor/enroll others). It DOES mean that you are agreeing to a non-compete clause; basically, you can’t sell oils or work for another wellness company while you are a distributor or for six months after terminating your agreement.

*What if I’m not sure yet, but I want to buy a couple things to test first?
If you want to just try one or two oils or products, you can sign up for a retail customer account on the website. This means paying full price, but you are free from the distributor contract.

*Why a starter kit instead of just a few oils?
 I originally planned to just sign up for a retail account and purchase the five oils that I wanted to try; however, I started adding up the costs and realized that didn’t make good financial sense. The costs of those five oils at retail would be almost the same amount as the starter kit, but I was only getting 5 oils instead of 11, and the kit has a diffuser (which was a must for me!). So this helped me choose the wholesale account.

*What if my friends want to sign up with Young Living?
Even if you may never plan to sponsor new Young Living members, I can tell you from personal experience that people will ask you about the oils and want to know more. When someone signs up for Young Living and uses you as their sponsor, you get a ‘bird-dog fee’ (a check sent to you for referring someone else to the company which helps you get more oils!).Young Living doesn't spend money advertising, promoting their products in big box stores, shipping items to stores or training new members about the products. This they pay you when you preform  these duties.  (There's lots more about the compensation plan on their website). Just share your sponsor number and when your friends create an account and make purchases, you get repaid for sharing and educating! 

*How much do I have to purchase? Is there a monthly/yearly minimum?
Another reason why I love Young Living- there’s no minimum purchase and no monthly minimum purchase! To stay active as a wholesale member you have to place at least one order of 50 PM (PV = Point Value, which is about $50) per YEAR. If you happen to miss the minimum yearly order, you can call customer care and reactivate your account by placing a 100PV order. The first year after getting my starter kit I purchased sporadically as I was financially able to swap chemicals out of my home and replace with Young Living products and oils. I recently realized that since I’m now placing an order every month, I’m crazy for not joining Essential Rewards Program.

*Tell me more about the Essential Rewards program
This is an optional program that gives enrollees free oils, reduced shipping, and other promotions as a Thank You for purchasing monthly (which is how I’m able to build an oil stockpile on a budget!). Some products, like vitamins, come in about a 30 day supply so you can place these items on monthly auto purchase through Essential Rewards. But the order is also fully customizable so I change the products we order each month, change the amount we spend, and even change the date that the order is placed. You can also cancel this program at any time. Again - you are not required to purchase particular products, but of course the more you spend the more promotional items you earn. This is like your grocery list – but delivered to your door!  For more about Essential Rewards visit the Young Living Essential Rewards FAQ Page

*I'm sure what's holding you back from your starter kit is exactly what I wrestled with - the cost
First – I would never tell you to spend money that you don’t have. We have a family budget, and like I said before, sometimes oils were in our budget and some months they weren’t. I still make a “wish list” of oils I want and share that with my hubby and family for Birthday and Christmas gift inspiration. My main goal was to swap out chemicals from our home (read my post on why I ditched chemicals). As we ran out of an old cleaning product, I would write the product on a separate list (not my grocery list) with the amount that I would normally pay for that product next to it. I was amazed at how quickly that list reached $200, the cost (after tax and shipping) of the Premium Starter Kit. So this justified that I was going to spend this money on cleaning supplies anyway -but instead of chemicals, the starter kit was able to replace all the cleaning products on my list.
Second – You can share your oily journey with friends, coworkers, family, community and social media. When others use you as an enroller/sponsor, you get a check for referring them (in Kentucky we call that a ‘bird-dog fee’). A great video to explain this compensation process is: https://youtu.be/T9Mw-e5w9DE So snap pictures to share how you use the oils or host a party to let others try the oils so they can learn more about the wellness products offered by Young Living. 

Ready to start your oily journey? 


To become a Young Living member you must have a current member to Enroll/Sponsor you. Oils come with a learning curve, so your sponsor is there to share their experience and offer ideas to effectively use the oils.

I would love to be your Young Living sponsor/enroller!
Enter my sponsor number # 10089755 or just use the link below to sign up.
Be sure to include your correct email so I can send you a promotional $20 Amazon Gift Card (this is a limited time offer as a promotional to kicking off my Facebook Page)! You can use this gift card right away to order spray bottles, roller bottles, and carrier oils so you'll be ready to oil when your kit arrives!
