Getting Started With Young Living

Getting Started with Young Living is one of the best decisions I have ever made.  When I started using essential oils six years ago, I had no idea how they would change my life. While at a blogging conference in Texas, I was desperately seeking a natural alternative for milk supply. I had tried all the herbs, lactation cookies, and more. One of the mommas there introduced me to a friend, Rachel, who used  Young Living essential oils, and I immediately became a member.

However, when I came home, I didn’t have the oil I needed in my starter kit, so I purchased cheap oil locally and it did nothing. I talked to Rachel about this, and she explained the Seed to Seal process to me. I purchased that same oil from Young Living and when it came I applied it immediately. it double my ounces in one day! The other oils in the kit were also helping my with my anxiety and postpartum depression so much that I knew I had to start sharing these with others.

I realized the difference between a store bought junk oil and an essential oil that hasn’t been watered down or adulterated with synthetic chemicals after visiting the Young Living farms. It’s so important to #knowthyfarmer and I can confidently say that I have met the farmers at three of our farms now. If we don’t own the land to our farms, then we have Seed to Seal certified partner farms. Our company employs 100+ scientist under the leadership of Mike Buch, and each farm has to go through a vetting process to be a Seed to Seal supplier where our scientists test the soil, get a farming history of the land, and ensure that the oils are as pure as possible from the seed to the seal of the bottle.

After I was with Young Living for about a year I started learning more about a non-toxic lifestyle and eventually switched out my personal care products, supplements, and more at the wholesale member price (24% off). I earn points each month through the Essential Rewards program, and get free products every single month.

Getting started with Young Living with a Premium Starter Kit is the most cost effective approach. Each of the Premium Kits include your wholesale membership (save 24% on everything you purchase), and also include your membership into our Oily Uprising Facebook group where you can ask questions 24/7, learn via our Learning Units, and take part in several online classes.

There are several kits to choose from and each of them are pictured below. These include the Essential Oils Kit, CBD Kit, Ningxia Red Kit, Thieves Home Cleaning Kit, and the Savvy Minerals Make-up Kit. You are never required to make a purchase, but you will need to spend 50PV (similar to $50) once a year to maintain your membership. However, you may want to order each month and to earn points that spend like cash, you will want to join our Essential Rewards program.

Each of these kits are designed to help meet your family’s specific needs, and with each kit you will receive a welcome kit from me, and you can either opt for a $25 Amazon Gift Card, or we will send you a goodie bag specific to the Premium Starter Kit you choose! Also, once you become a member, we will add you to our members Facebook Group where you can learn 24/7, ask questions, learn via our Learning Units and find fellow oily users. We have over 1,500 members in our group, so it’s a lot of fun too.

Plus, with this order, you automatically become a wholesale member, which means you will save 24% off all of your orders. You will not need to place another order for an entire YEAR unless you want to do so! Just place a 50PV order before your anniversary date to keep your membership.  Check out all of our Young Living Essential Oil recipe posts!

Once you are a member, you don’t have to purchase anything for a year, but my suggestion is to go non-toxic little by little through our Essential Rewards program. This is a monthly autoship program where you agree to spend 50PV (similar to $50) each month on essential oils (this is NOT required, just a suggestion), everyday household or personal care products, make-up, etc., in return for points back, cheaper shipping, and free gifts at months 3,6,9, and 12.

I have been on this program for over four years and currently earn 25% back in points. Each month I spend around $300, so I get 75 points back to spend (similar to $75). Because I spend 300PV I also hit the top promo tier each month, so that means I get a ton of free stuff. Here is an example of one month’s promo, which means I received all of these free items as well as my 75 points.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does signing up make me a “distributor”?

Nope! You are not required to sell anything at all to anyone. When you become a wholesale member, you get a special link that you can share with friends and get credit from their purchases, but there are no minimum sales amounts at all. In fact, 90% of the wholesale members in Young Living don’t do the business side at all. They are buying from Young Living because of the quality alone.

Am I required to make a minimum purchase each month?

There are absolutely NO minimum monthly purchase requirements. To remain a wholesale member, you have to make $50 worth of purchases per year to keep your membership. But if there’s a year that you don’t make a $50 purchase, you can reinstate your wholesale membership discount by just placing a $50 order.

If you do find yourself making regular purchases each month, then Young Living has a rewards program (called Essential Rewards) where you can make a nice percentage back in product credit each month on all of your purchases. So that’s a neat program to join if you find that you *want* to purchase regularly (but it’s not a requirement for being a wholesale member).

Why should I buy from Young Living instead of other essential oils companies?

It does seem like a new essential oils company pops up every day, doesn’t it?

I can’t speak to the quality of other companies, but I can say that Young Living was the only company in my research of essential oil companies that could answer all of my questions about purity in a way that was satisfactory to me.

Young Living was the only company that has their own farms (in the regions where the plants should be grown), could absolutely guarantee that no pesticides or herbicides were used in the growing of any of their oils (they use essential oils for pest control and they do all of the weeding by hand), has their own testing equipment (they do both in-house and 3rd party testing, and use many different testing methods not just GC/MS which only tests for certain chemicals, not whether those chemicals are synthetic or not), and only uses the first distillation of oils instead of adding chemicals to get more out of the plant.

Young Living also was the only company that was directly in charge of essential oil farming operations. Every other company I researched goes through some kind of an “oil broker” to buy their oils. They have to trust that the oil broker is telling the truth, who has to trust that the essential oil distilleries are telling the truth, who have to trust that the farmers are telling the truth about what they say they are doing.

With Young Living, you just have to trust one company instead of several.

I feel like it’s a trust step either way (anyone could be lying) but I felt the most comfortable trusting Young Living since they are a full-disclosure company. ANYONE can visit the farms, participate in the harvesting and distillation, view the Young Living labs, and see the entire process. That’s not an option with any other company.

Does Young Living only sell essential oils?

The answer to this one was surprising to me when I first got my starter kit! Young Living actually has an entire line of personal care products, supplements, meal replacements, energy drinks, and more! Almost every product incorporates essential oils (for example, frankincense is absolutely wonderful in facial products), but there’s a wide variety of products available.
