young life is a multi-level marketing company founded in 1993 that offers essential oils and other related products. Additionally, they offer a business or income opportunity for those interested in marketing the company or its products to generate an income stream. One thing I think is good is that Young Living also has a non-profit organization that helps communities and families in impoverished areas in Ecuador, Croatia, and Uganda.

The thing:

Young Living has a ton of essential oil-based products available. Some of the items they offer are aromatic oils, massage oils, diffusers, oral care products, healthy cooking oils, animal care oils, home purifying oils, and of course, accessories to carry your oils.

1. idaho blue spruce – This oil is designed to relax both mind and body and retails for $37.83.
2. animal shampoo – Really. This product contains several different oils including YLTG oil formulated by D. Gary Young and retails for $20.72.
3. Thieves Fresh Scent Mouthwash – This mouthwash is designed to thoroughly cleanse the mouth and comes in spearmint and peppermint flavors, retailing for 8 oz for $14.47.

It is important to note that Young Living offers several different types of products. The product categories and the actual product I explained in are far from everything Young Living has to offer!

The opportunity:

The question still remains; Can you really make money with Young Living? To answer this question, we need to look at your compensation plan!

There are 3 main payouts for Young Living affiliates such as Fast Start Bonus, Lifetime Start Bonus, and Retail Earnings.

1. fast start bonuses – You can earn 25% on the orders of your first level personally enrolled distributors during the first three months of your membership. You can also earn an additional 10% on the orders of your personally enrolled second level distributors.
2. Start Living Bonuses – Every time you enroll a distributor with a Premium Starter Kit, you can earn a one-time $25 cash bonus.
3. retail earnings – With this payment you will get the 24% difference between the retail and wholesale price of your personally enrolled retail customers’ orders.

To conclude, yes, you can earn money with Young Living!

The cost:

For some, this is the most important question to answer before even considering joining this business! I would be more than happy to be the provider of that answer!

But first, understand that if you want to get involved with Young Living and start making money, what you’re doing is starting your own home business! All companies require some type of initial fee! However, in the world of Multi-Level Marketing, the price is generally much cheaper compared to a traditional type company. For example, in a traditional type business, like Construction, you might spend around $5,000 to $10,000 just to get started! In this industry, you will probably spend much less than that! Now that we’ve been able to get that across, let’s move on.

To participate and get started with Young Living, you will need to purchase a starter kit! They have several starter kits available; I will give a brief explanation of three of them!

1. Basic Starter Kit – $45.00. This kit includes a 5ml Stress Away Oil, an AromaGlide Roller, 10 sample packs, 10 Love It? Share it! Business cards, 10 Do you love it? Share it! Oil sample bottles, 2 NingXia Red 2 oz. samples, product guide and product price list, Essential Oil magazine, Essential Edge and member resources.
2. Thieves Premium Kit – $160.00. This kit is a special premium starter kit and includes 15ml Thieves Oil, Thieves AromaBright Toothpaste, Thieves Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash, 2 Thieves Cleaner, 2 Thieves Foaming Hand Soap, 2 Thieves Spray, 2 Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier, and everything in between. included in the basic starter kit mentioned above.
3. NingXia Premium Kit – $170.00. This kit is also a special premium kit and includes NingXia Red 2-Pack, 30 NingXia Red Single Oils, NingXia Nitro, and everything included in the Basic Starter Kit above.

Final Thoughts:

The products offered by Young Living are interesting and definitely have some kind of originality. They also have a ton of products to choose from!

The business opportunity is something you can definitely make money from. However, in my opinion, I think their compensation plan is a bit weak compared to other companies I’ve done reviews on. If you know exactly what you are doing and are a professional Network Marketer, you will do well with this company and even prosper. However, if you are a total newbie and have no idea how to generate massive income from Network Marketing, you will have a hard time making money in this venture.

The cost is quite cheap in general. Their basic starter kit is only $45.00 and their most expensive kit is $260.00. That means you can start a business and start generating income from home for just under $300.00, which is amazing!
