What are essential oils?
Essential oils are all-natural extracts from plants that have been used for thousands of years to support wellness. They are “essential” in the sense that they contain the “essence” of the plant from which they come. Many ancient cultures valued these oils as medicines, flavorings, or simply for their aroma.
Today, essential oils continue to be valued in the wellness community, but also as alternatives to the many man-made chemicals that are in the products we use everyday.
But not all modern essential oils are the same. Many companies use chemical solvents to extract the oils or they dilute them. Others produce only lower grade oils that can’t be used topically or ingested.
Young Living is different!
Why I use Young Living Essential Oils.
I did it because I was convinced that essential oils are a healthy and natural alternative to the many chemical laden products that we use everyday including health supplements, candles and air fresheners, personal care items, and cleaning products.
Once I was convinced of the value of essential oils, I looked into the products made by different companies and tried many of them. Young Living clearly had the quality I was seeking and they are the only essential oil company with a “seed to seal” promise. They oversee every step in the production process, from seed to seal!
Why did I become an independent distributor?
I knew I was going to be using these products for the long term. And to become an independent distributor simply meant signing up, purchasing a starter kit, and placing a minimum $50 pv order each year to stay active. Yes, I said a minimum of $50 annually to stay active! That’s it! I knew that I would meet that minimum easily by ordering a few of the product I was aware of at the time. And as an independent distributor, I could purchase them at a reduced price, knowing that if I chose to, I could also share Young Living products and make a little money in the process!
So whether you are interested in the oils themselves, the health supplements, the personal care items, or the chemical-free cleaning products, becoming an independent distributor just makes sense.
Speaking of making money, if you do sell the products to others and want to recruit other distributors and earn commissions, you can! Its so easy! I started out by just sharing with friends and family what I was learning and how it was affecting my family. When you do decide that this is awesome for your health and want to apply this to all areas of your life you can be on Essential Rewards, which is a totally customizable monthly delivered-to-your-door order of 50 pv (or more) per month. By utilizing Essential Rewards (ER order) you also get a discounted shipping rate AND You will have the added benefit of earning “points” that you can use to redeem on many of your favorite products. With monthly orders on ER you begin accruing points on your order at 10%, going up to 25% after 24 months….does any other store give you money back to spend on products you need and use? Nope, I didn’t think so! I order things like laundry detergent, deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste,vitamins and makeup at a 24% discount, because I’m a distributor, and then get paid back an additional 25% of my order back in an account for me to use whenever I want! Its awesome.
In order to receive commissions an independent distributor must place one order per month of at least 100 pv. Don’t let that scare you. Think about a normal run to a warehouse, or big name store. Do you purchase toothpaste? Make up? Chemical -laden cleaners? Vitamins? Energy-supplements or drinks? Health supplements? What about lotions? Hand soap? Shampoo and conditioners? Pasta? Flour? Cough Drops? Can you guarantee that everything that you purchase at one of these stores has been tested for quality and safety? Are the big box stores looking out for your health or just out to make a fast buck?
Do you know what is in the lotion that you put on your baby before you put them in pajamas? What about the long term effects of the chemicals not only on their skin, but also in their pajamas from detergent you use? I know I used to spend a lot more than 100 dollars at Target or Walmart per month buying these things for my family. I didn’t know better. Now, I’ve done my homework and I realize once you know better, you do better. I want to share that with you.
Are you ready to be a Young Living independent distributor?
To become a distributor you simply purchase a premium starter kit for $160 (plus shipping and handling). You’re not just getting a membership, you get 11 OILS, a diffuser, samples and literature on what it is and how to share! But wait, this kit if individually purchased is worth over $340!!! Seriously this is a steal! When I purchased this, it was a financial step, but at the time it would cost me at least $150 to take one of my children to the Dr…… if this kit could help prevent at least one visit, it would pay for itself….. well, it did that and SO MUCH MORE!
