How Do I Enroll a New Member?

When you signed up with Young Living, you received a member number. Anyone you are assisting to sign up should use your member number as a sponsor, and thereby become part of your downline “leg”. The steps to enroll another as a Young Living member are the same ones you likely followed:

  • Go to the Young Living website
  • Create an account
  • Enterthe enrollee’s member number
  • Purchase a Young Living Premium starter kit

Become a Young Living Member:

Click Here

To make enrollment even simpler, you can create a custom link that automatically fills in your member info – you can give that link to people who are ready to order. The enrollee will click through the link, and your information will be filled in for them.

To find that link, log into your Young Living Virtual Office and look under “Member Resources” on the left for the “Link Builder”. If you want, paste that long link into a link shortener like tinyurl or bitly to make it smaller

How Will I Get Paid?

Every Young Living distributor is paid by the company once per month – typically mid-month. You receive each month’s commissions from the previous month (so June’s earnings will be paid in July). If you earn less than $25in a month, you will receive a credit on your Young Living account. For earnings in excess of $25, you will receive a deposit or a direct deposit into your preferred account.

Young Living Offers 8 Different Ways to Get Paid as a Distributor

  • Fast Start Bonus
  • Start Living Kit Bonus
  • Unilevel Commission
  • Retail Customers
  • Generation Leadership Commission
  • Rising Star Team Bonus
  • Diamond Profit Sharing Pool
  • Travel Rewards Bonus

Fast Start Bonus

From the moment you make your very first new member enrollment, Young Living will pay you. Here’s how:

You earn 25% on the Personal Volume (PV) of your new enrollee for the first 3 months of his/her purchases. (example: your friend enrolls in January. For the first 3 months, she purchases product with a PV of $300 each month. For January, February and March, you will receive commission of $75 each month, or $300 X 25% = $75 for 3 months).

When your enrollee then enrolls a new member, you will earn 10% on the Personal Volume (PV) of that new enrollee for the first 3 months of his/her purchases. (example: your friend soon enrolls a new member in April. For the first 3 months of your friend’s enrollee, he purchases product with a PV of $200 each month. For April, May and June, you will receive commission of $20 each month, or $200 X 10% = $20 for 3 months).

Qualifications:

  • You must maintain a $50 PV for each month
  • There is a $200 commission cap for each new enrolled member
  • There is a $80 commission cap for your second-level enroller

Start Living Kit Bonus

When your personally enrolled member orders a Premium Starter Kit in the month of enrollment, you will earn a one-time $25 cash bonus from Young Living.

Qualifications:

  • There is a $80 commission cap for your second-level enroller

Unilevel Commissions

This is where distributors begin to make commission through their Young Living business. Under this ranking, you have enrolled individuals into Young Living membership. Each new member you enroll is called a “leg” and is considered a first level leg for you as the distributor. When your enrolled member then enrolls someone, you are given credit as a second “leg” qualified enrollee for you.

Young Living pays its distributors a standard commission. After you enroll at least two first level legs, Young Living will pay you a standard commission. Commissions begin to accrue starting on the fourth month after the enrollee’s member status. So, once a member is with you for 3 months, you’ll qualify for Unilevel commissions, so long as you maintain an individualmonthly 100 PV order.

At that point, you’ll see that those members you’ve signed up will probably start sharing the good news and sign up members, too. With Unilevel commissions, you earn on members from level 2, 3, and so on.

For each first level leg member, you will earn 8% of their total PV volume. For each second level leg, you will earn 5% of their total PV volume. For each third, fourth, and fifth level leg, you will earn 4% of their total PV volume.

Qualifications:

  • Distributor must maintain 100 PV monthly
  • Distributor must enroll at least 2 first level legs members

Unilevel Status - Retail Customers

Young Living distributors who are considered Unilevel distributors, also earn a commission of 24% when you sign up a retail member. Under the retail member plan, you will not receive residual income.For that reason, we at Mi Essential Oils always recommend enrolling at the wholesale membership level – it’s a great deal for the new member and really builds your path to financial success, unlike other network marketing companies.

Generations Leadership Commissions

When a Young Living distributor reaches the level of Silver, you become what is called a “generation”. When you reach the level of Silver and above, you qualify to earn additional commissions on your downline PV volume. This payout is based on6.25% of Young Living’s total commissionable sales each month.

Also, when you, as a team leader, bring your enrollees to a Silver ranking (meaning that an enrollee becomes his/her own generation) then you receive an additional 3% commission on that generation’s group volume through to the 7th generation, depending on current pay rank qualification. That looks something like this:

With the Young Living leadership levels, you can also receive what is called Generational leadership “shares” as follows:

  • 1 sharefor Silver rank

  • 2 shares for Gold rank

  • 3 shares for Platinum rank

  • 4 shares for Diamond rank

  • 5 shares Crown Diamond rank

  • 6 shares for Royal Crown Diamond

Qualifications:

  • The distributor must achieve Silver status ranking or above.
  • The distributor must maintain a personal 100 PV monthly

Rising Star Team Bonus

The Young Living Rising Star Bonus is another incentive made available to Essential Rewards members. This bonus is based on having legs with qualifying OGV (Organization Group Volume), and 100 PV in an ER order.

The Travel Rewards Bonus is distributed as a pooled share, based upon 1% of Young Living’s monthly commissionable sales.

One-half of the Travel Rewards Bonus is calculated based on volume levels:

  • Executive Rank – earn shares by up to 5 levels of Unilevel volume

  • Silver Rank+ – earn shares based upon generation volume

One-half of the Travel Rewards Bonus is earned through meeting requirements, such as:

  • Rank advancement

  • Rank maintenance

  • Organization growth

Qualifications:

  • Distributor must be paid as an Executive or higher for the first half bonus.
  • First half points are redeemed toward Harvest registration, Convention registration and Global Leadership events.
  • Distributor must meet certain requirements to qualify for the second half bonus (example: individual rank advancement, growth, maintenance).
  • Second half points are redeemed toward Global Leadership events.
  • Though this bonus is considered commissionable earnings, it will accumulate as points in Virtual Office.
  • If the second half of the Travel Rewards Bonus is not used, Young Living will not report it as income to the distributor. It will then be re-distributed to others in the qualifying pool.
