Making a Mistake in Young Living and Learning From It
A friend I’ve made online, took some advice I gave him recently. He had been struggling with a website of his. Someone had convinced him to just use his Young Living website and drive business to it with Google Adwords.
His plan was to provide information for the visitor (which he did a good job of providing) and then send business to his Young Living product page for the sale.
Well, he’s now, based on my advice, decided to pursue a new website. This time related to one of his passions. It’s a more of a niche and I know he’ll do much better. I teach this process throughout our 52 Weeks Fast Track to Success with Young Living program.
Here some of my comments to him about what he should do with this site:
I know that Adwords thing can be discouraging. Maybe it’s just because of the market you were in.
One thing that’s helped me is I make sure that the sites I’m sending people to are professional and reputable.
I also bundle a suite of products together for my niche so I know I’ll make at least $25 or more a sale. That way I know I have a chance of making some money.
I then very rarely bid over 10 cents for an adwords campaign. Very rarely. Maybe 25 cents.
This is funny. I remember my first day doing Adwords when I was working for a small client many, many years ago. I had never used adwords before. I set the per click to like 5 or 10 dollars!!! Luckily my budget was only $150 per day. I used up the budget in about a half hour!
It’s a process. I wouldn’t give up on it as a way to drive traffic. You just need a website that targets a very specific problem or niche market I think.
You know a lot of people would be happy with $25-50 per day in sales on passive income
Now I don’t know what you are planning with this new site, but are you considering multiple income streams? Maybe write an eBook to sell or give away (viral). Are you going to write articles. Use Adsense? Have a Newsletter?
If you could create a decent eBook and sell it for 25 bucks or something that might work… give 5 or 10 bonuses away with it. Then you can drive traffic to the eBook and if it’s targeted, people will buy it and you’ll make a decent profit.
Then you can go after the free traffic from the SEs as well. Submit to directories etc……
I think you’re on the right track. It happens faster for some than others. Don’t give up though. It’ll be great someday to live by Young Living alone.

There is a lot of potential online. The best way to insure your success is to make sure you create multiple streams of income.
Doing a combination of things can really help.
Having a newsletter will allow him to capture visitors and down the road convert them to a sale. Not everyone buys on the first visit to your website.
Writing an E-book is a great way to get income on the front-end and promote your Young Living products throughout the e-book is a fantastic way to upsell people on Young Living products. You can learn more about these strategies in my Simple Guide to E-Book Publishing and Marketing
Adsense is another good source of income. You have to have some good traffic to make a lot of money, but I was surprised when I started using it as a strategy throughout my websites. Hey, even if its another 30, 40 or 50 dollars a month, it can pay some of your expenses.
Submitting to directories is a great way to get the Search Engines to take notice. I do not recommend even submitting to Search Engines anymore. You can get crawled by the Search Engine Spider much quicker by getting some links coming to your website. Spiders follow links off of websites. So if a link to your website is on another site that gets spidered, you’re all set!
Writing articles can get you a little traffic rolling as well. And it’s a great way to establish yourself as an expert in your field. The inbound links also help with your position in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS). You can learn more about this process in another post I have here with a great product recommendation.
Everyone can succeed with Young Living. It’s takes a bit of work sometimes and a willingness to learn from your mistakes and understand that no business is flawless. Many people fail before they find good income, but it is possible – for everyone.
Keep learning. My goal is to learn something new every single day of my life. I hang out in forums, read articles, books, take classes, read e-Books… I’m continually soaking up new information so I am a source of knowledge and wisdom for others and my downline.
Just go out there and do it and I’ll see you at the top of Young Living soon enough!
