How To Work From Home As An Arbonne Consultant

I love Network Marketing as a work-from-home option for busy moms because it offers the ability to start a home-based business with a flexible schedule, minimal investment, and no experience (choosing the right upline for you is important, though… read more about this below).

As for how to work from home and make money with Arbonne , there are a few things to consider, and we’ll talk all about it in this article so you can make an informed decision!

Here’s a quick overview of what we’ll cover:

How to Make Money and Work From Home with Arbonne

In a nutshell, you can make money working from home with Arbonne by earning a commission on any products sold through your personal website link (this is included when you sign up as a consultant). You don’t need to carry any inventory or sell a certain amount every month  – you ALWAYS earn commission on your personal sales as an Independent Consultant, no minimums required.

In addition, you can scale your income up big time and leverage your time by growing a team of consultants for helping others do the same. When you do this, you can earn bonuses and overrides as you help your team become successful as well. This is where the true power of Network Marketing lies! When you help others become successful, YOU become even more successful than you could be on your own. With that said, some people are not interested in growing a team, and just want to focus on personal sales, and that’s okay too! Once you sign up to become a consultant, it’s YOUR business and you get to run it however you want 🙂

The moment you start your Arbonne business you have an entire team of positive, successful people with a vested interest in seeing you succeed as fast as possible. If you start to see success early on, the momentum will carry you on and fuel your continued business growth. You can build your business offline (traditional way) or online (internet marketing, blogging & social media).

With a consumable product line that’s in high demand, it’s easy to make sales without being “salesy”. (Take special note of the word “consumable” in that last sentence… we’ll talk about how important that is in just a minute.)

As an Arbonne consultant, you make money in four ways:

1. Through your own direct sales. 35% commission on retail sales through your website and 15% commission on Preferred Client sales. Paid weekly.

2. Override commissions through your team. As you teach and train others to work their own Arbonne business, you earn commission from your team sales as well. The more people you help, the more you earn. Paid monthly.

3. Cash bonuses at every level. You are eligible to earn additional cash bonuses at every level – from Consultant to National Vice President, which are paid monthly.

4. Mercedes Benz Cash Bonus Program. When you promote to Regional and National Vice President, Arbonne gives you a generous cash bonus to pay for a white Mercedes Benz of your choice.

Here is a bit of information about Arbonne’s generous compensation plan:

It costs $49 to become an Arbonne Independent Consultant, plus the cost of whatever products you want to start out with. The $49 covers the cost of your personal website plus welcome kit.

My personal recommendations for which products to start with:

• The 30-Days to Healthy Living Set (this is very popular, so it’s a good idea to have personal experience with at least this)
• One skincare set (AgeWell is our best-seller in skincare)
• “Ready in Five” makeup set (daily makeup routine, simplified)
• Rescue and Renew spa line (ideal for self care and rejuvenation)
• A la carte products that you know you’ll use and be able to easily recommend or share about

Of course, you will need to decide what is best based on your budget and how “all in” you are when you start. If you just want to “dip your toes in and test the waters”, then perhaps just starting with the 30-Day Healthy Living Set in enough. But if you want to jump in with both feet and get to a full-time income asap, it will be in your best interest to use and share as much as possible.

This is your business, YOU get to decide 🙂

Also, there are no monthly fees, inventory requirements, minimum sales requirements or hidden start up costs.

You automatically get 35% – 50% off all product, plus a revenue kick-back once you reach the first level of management since you’re ordering from your own personal online store! You can become a consultant just to purchase product for yourself and get your kick-back, which is a great option if you’re already in love with the products and want to get the best deal.

OR you can sign up with the mindset to start your own business and make money from home! The income potential is HUGE (this takes work and is not promised to everyone… your income is determined on how you work your business. Please refer to https://earnings.arbonne.com/).

My Story – Why I Became an Arbonne Consultant

I wanted to share a bit with you about my journey and the reason I decided to write this post. Ever since I became a consultant myself, I get a TON of questions about the business and how to get started!

The truth is, I started my Arbonne “business” simply because I really admired the women who first told me about it. I had been using the botanically-based products myself for about 6 months, but I was already really busy as a stay-at-home-mom of 4 young kids (2 still in diapers) as well as running my own blog… I couldn’t fathom adding any more to my already crazy schedule! But they assured me that this was the kind of business that I could fit into the “nooks and crannies” of my day, so I decided to give it a go.

(Blogging is great for that too, but can get pretty lonely behind a computer screen! Arbonne gave me real-life friends that I am so so SO grateful for ❤).

Arbonne Consultant Perks and Benefits

So you know why I became an Arbonne consultant, but you may be wondering if it’s right for you and some of the benefits. Here are a few key points for you to consider when making your decision:

• You don’t need to carry ANY inventory. You get your own website that people can buy directly from.
• You can start making a profit in your first month if you have the right guidance  (see below)
• It’s a consumable product line. This means the products in the Arbonne line are things people already use in their day-to-day life and will NEED again and again (this is business 101 and SO important for effortless ongoing sales)!
• It’s a GLOBAL business operating in 7 different countries. This means that even when you’re sleeping, people in Australia can be buying from your website.
• You get built-in business training and support from your sponsor so you’re not wasting time or “guessing” at how to grow your business
• Personal growth and friends! It can be really hard to make friends if you’re a stay-at-home-mom or a mom who’s busy working outside the home. Arbonne is a short-cut to making deep friendships with people who will lift you up, encourage you and support you (this is the #1 reason I joined).
• You can truly fit it into the little pockets of time in your day (how much time do you spend scrolling Facebook or watching TV? Be honest! You can start building your business during that time instead.)
• You can earn lots of FREE stuff like products, cars and vacations (no joke)
• It’s only $49 to get started! You can start your own business for half the cost of your Amazon Prime membership.

My first month as a consultant I was already in qualification to get my first promotion without being salesy or begging my friends or family for sales! (If you’re interested or curious about becoming an Arbonne Consultant and working from home, see below for a peek into the strategies I use).

Hello Candis,

I found your Smart Mom Blogger site when I was searching for the names of the network marketing companies Russell Brunson joined before he started CLICK FUNNELS. The Book that was mentioned in the search says it was published in FEB of 2018, but it doesn’t exist on your site or even on his list of book.

Please write me and share with me where I can get “NETWORK MARKETING SECRETS” book. It is advertised many places, but when you click to order it – it shifts people to other books.

Thank you for caring, Susan

Hi Susan! Russell hasn’t released his book yet, but says it’s coming soon. The best way to be notified when it’s released is to get on his free email list if you haven’t already. The easiest way is just to go to the ClickFunnels website (here: http://smartmomblogger.com/clickfunnels ) and take the short quiz & enter your email. I’ll also keep my Network Marketing Secrets post (here: https://smartmomblogger.com/network-marketing-secrets-book-russell-brunson-clickfunnels/ ) updated with the latest info from ClickFunnels. Good luck!

I’m interested to work with Arbonne.

Hi Mahta! I would love to chat about the opportunity to work with our Arbonne team and answer any questions you have about working from home! Please email me at [email protected] and we can chat.

Arbonne Business Review – What’s In It For You

Welcome to my in-depth Arbonne business review.

Check out if joining this health and beauty direct selling company is a viable business opportunity for you or if you should look elsewhere.

Arbonne is a company that offers ‘botanically based personal care and nutrition products’ and has been around for nearly 35 years.

They promote healthy living from the inside and outside; with their skincare and beauty products (for the outside) and nutrition products for a healthy inside.

Looking for a business that doesn’t involve selling or recruiting? Read how I earn around $1000/ month in passive income.

Let’s get started with these ten facts about the Arbonne business opportunity.

Without further ado, here we go.

Arbonne Business Review – 10 Things You Should Know

#1 some background info about arbonne.

The founder of Arbonne is Petter Morck who comes originally from Norway. With a group of scientists, he developed the idea of skincare products that are based purely on botanical principles in Switzerland in 1975.

He immigrated to the United States and eventually established Arbonne in 1980 as a direct selling company with 19 products available.

A lot has happened since then.  Arbonne not only extended their product range extensively but also operates now globally in countries like New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Taiwan, Poland, and the UK.

They have over 200 000 active consultants and around 2 300 000 Preferred Clients (more about it later).

#2 The Things That Arbonne Stands For

One of the most important things to me is that Arbonne claims to be cruelty-free and don’t test their products on animals, unlike Mary Kay cosmetics for instance.

On their website, it says: ‘Since the company was founded in 1980, Arbonne has had a strict policy against testing on animals, and our formulas have never contained animal products or by-products. Arbonne is recognized by PETA ((People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) for this.”

So to be clear, Arbonne products are vegan free and cruelty-free.

#3 A Little Bit About The Products

Arbonne claims that all their products are pure, without nasty chemicals, and without animal products or animal by-products.

The list of what is NOT in the products is really impressive. I do like their approach to producing natural products. This is great news for vegans or people who are allergic to gluten.

Thumps up for Arbonne!

I have seen a few negative reviews about Arbonne products online. Some customers complain about allergic reactions and the likes.

As with any cosmetic or skincare product, it is essential to test it before you use it.

#4 How To Become An Independent Arbonne Consultant

The whole process is pretty easy and straightforward.

You pay $49 for the Welcome kit and sign a form that you agree with the terms and conditions to become an Independent Arbonne consultant.

It gives you a free (duplicate) e-commerce website, free apps for a business on-the-go, access to a social marketing library, and access to a knowledge library for business and product information.

By the way, you don’t need to pay a monthly fee for the website.

After twelve months, you need to pay a renewal fee of $29.

#5 What Is In The Starter Kit

Well, for $49 there is not that much in the starter kit. It contains a few catalogs, samples of the RE9 line, business materials like flyers, order forms, and a copy of the success aka compensation plan.

So you need to invest some money to order products you could use for yourself (to test them) and also products for your presentations so people can smell them, feel them, and try them out.

The products are expensive therefore it is essential that your potential new customer can check a fairly good variety of products.

Arbonne offers different packs, e.g. skincare pack or a makeup pack.

You may need to decide if you’d rather invest in skincare, nutritional, or makeup products. You are looking at spending around $200 to $300 for one of these packs.

The saying goes that if you build a business you need to invest in your business. It is important to remember though not to get carried away and spend too much when you start off.

My advice is to ask your sponsor if they could help you out with some of the products. Maybe you could borrow some.

#6 How To Sell Arbonne Products

The main way of selling Arbonne products is via the good old home party, also called a group presentation.

It does make sense because as I said before, potential new customers need to try the products before they are going to spend a whole lot of money.

The trouble with the party plan is that it can be difficult to find people who are willing to host a party. Even though the hostess rewards can be intriguing.

Everyone seems to be busy nowadays and there is a lot of effort involved in getting the girls around. Also, once the party goes ahead it doesn’t mean you get lots of sales or new recruits.

On top of that, it takes a few hours for the consultant to drive to the party, setting it up, holding the presentation, taking orders, cleaning up, and driving back home.

I am missing here the modern touch with Arbonne. How about having virtual parties like Younique has introduced to their marketing strategy?

There needs to be a balance, I guess.

Before you join Arbonne, you need to ask yourself: Do you feel confident in holding presentations and speaking in front of an audience? Do you feel confident ringing people and asking them to hold a party, or for a sale?

I don’t know how much training Arbonne offers to their consultants to learn sales techniques and the likes.

But speaking from my own experience with a (different) direct selling company, it takes a lot of self-discipline and resilience to make money with this kind of business.

#7 Show Me The Money, Honey

Let’s talk about the success plan also known as the compensation plan.

As you can see in the screenshot, there are four ways you can earn money with Arbonne. The commission payments are pretty average with 35% on the personal product sales.

If you sign up a preferred client ( more about it later) you only get 15% on the suggested retail price (SRP).

To me, it is not clear why Arbonne has a suggested retail price. Surely, you don’t want to lower or increase the price.

Anyhow, back to the money side. The compensation plan is fairly easy to read. On top of the 35%, a consultant can earn overrides on their team sales and cash bonuses.

For instance, a consultant can earn a $25 cash bonus when a preferred client orders an Ultimate Value pack for $200 once they sign up.

To maintain the status of the rank as an Independent Consultant, you need to have $1200 PQV (Personal Qualifying Volume) in a year.

Keen to read the full compensation plan? Click here for more information.

Please note, you only get a Mercedes Benz cash bonus once you have reached at least Regional Vice President.

And of course, you need certain requirements, as outlined in the compensation plan. If you don’t, you won’t get the car bonus.

#8 Climbing Up The Ladder

I have noticed that Arbonne doesn’t have a so-called fast start program in their compensation plan. A fast start program usually offers extra incentives for new consultants to make lots of sales and find new team members.

I have seen ‘Fast Start’ bonuses   with Younique or Limelight, for instance.

I think there are two sides to it. A fast start can give you great momentum in building your business. But it can also put a lot of pressure on a person.

Here are the ranks you can achieve by reaching certain sales volumes and recruiting new consultants.

• Everyone starts as an Independent Consultant.
• District Manager
• Executive District Manager
• Area Manager
• Executive Area Manager
• Regional Vice President (now the car bonus kicks in)
• Executive Regional Vice President
• National Vice President
• Executive National Vice President

It is a long way to reach the top and only a few will make to Executive National Vice President.

A lot depends not only on the number of sales you are accumulating and the numbers of people you are recruiting.

It is about if you can maintain your rank which is connected to the sales volume of your team. There are so many variables which you can’t always influence. It is quite frankly beyond your control.

#9 What Is A Preferred Client

Arbonne is talking a lot about their preferred client program. Not only can an Independent Consultant earn a cash bonus when the client spends a certain amount of money.

Preferred clients are also so keen on the product that many of them become Consultants themselves.

It costs $20 to sign up for the preferred client program that entitles them to 20% off the SRP (suggested retail price) for a whole year.

If they spend more then $150 they will also get a complimentary product of their choice.

Once the year is up, they have to pay a renewal fee of 15%.

Just to be clear, there is no need to do an auto-ship order, if the client doesn’t want to. No strings attached!

#10 Happiness All Around?

There are lots of positives with Arbonne and their business opportunity. They are accredited with the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating.

Arbonne is also a member of the DSA, the Direct Selling Association.

The customer service seems efficient and friendly and the 45-day money back guarantee on the products is pretty spot-on.

A huge plus for me is the fact that the products are all vegan and cruelty-free.

But before you join, make sure you have tested the products yourself and have a think about who would be happy to buy these products from you.

Otherwise, you may end up with lots of products, no one wants to purchase from you.

It is easy to understand why Arbonne has been around for 35 years. It is a solid company with only a few negative reviews.

The biggest drawcard for me is the fact that the products are not tested on animals and are plant-based without any nasty chemicals

The best way to sell the products is via home parties or group presentations.

But as I mentioned before this can be a challenging process.

Let’s face it, who wants to be the ‘Hostess with the Mostest’ nowadays – the thought of inviting friends, organizing snacks and drinks and cleaning up afterward can be daunting for many.

So it is much easier to convince people to hold a virtual party and get some Hostess rewards as a ‘Thank you.’

I am missing the modern touch here with Arbonne. It would be good to give a consultant different options.

Personally myself, I have found direct selling/MLM to be a tough business where you have to learn to deal with rejection, objections, sometimes no sales at all, and lots of party cancellations.

It takes a strong mindset to overcome these obstacles and to build a successful business in the industry.

Have you noticed that most MLM companies are mainly targeting women as potential recruits? Women join these companies for so many different reasons.

In Arbonne case, I was quite surprised to see a few men amongst the consultants.

When I started my direct selling business I was looking for something different than ‘just’ being defined as a mom. The thought of being part of a sisterhood was appealing to me and also getting out of the house and meeting new people.

Even though I am a self-confident person, not reaching my goals, like not enough sales and recruiting left me quite frustrated at times and doubting myself.

The truth is ‘the overwhelming majority of MLM participants (most sources estimated to be over 99.25% of all MLM participants) participate at either an insignificant or nil net profit.’ (source Wikipedia)

If you do love the products and feel they are worth the money, then, by all means, go for it. I don’t think there is a huge risk to lose money since the start-up costs are low and no additional fee applies.

Just be aware that you need to purchase products as well as business aids and samples which can be quite expensive.

To build a substantial income, you’ll need to put in full-time hours for sure.

Want to build a business that doesn’t require network marketing skills and will earn you passive income for years to come? Please read more about  my #1 recommended business model.

Is There A Better Business Model?

Even though Arbonne makes it pretty easy to sell the product, the products are expensive.

But considering the quality of the ingredients and the fact that they don’t contain nasty chemicals may make it easy to find a buying audience.

I still think there are better business models out there than selling and recruiting.

I had been a consultant with a direct selling company for over three years so I speak from experience when I say it takes a lot of hard work to be successful with the MLM business model.

The initial enthusiasm rubs off pretty quickly if other people don’t share the same love for the product you are trying to sell.

I’ve learned that selling stuff to people is not my strong point even though I loved the products.

Ringing potential customers, dealing with return and refunds, traveling for hours to do presentations without sometimes getting any sales was tough going.

I know of people who were super successful but they were working consistently for around 40 hours or more a week.

Well, looking back I’d say it was a huge learning curve but not what I was looking for in an ideal business. In reality, the hours weren’t exactly flexible, instead, I had to work in the evening and on weekends.

For the past three years, I have been building my online business that doesn’t involve recruiting or calling people at all. Now I can work whenever and wherever I want to work with only a laptop and an internet connection.

I have to be honest though: my recommended business model is not for everyone. It takes at least 6 to 12 months of consistent work to see the first results aka earning money.

If you are able to invest between 10 and 20 hours of work a week then you will surely succeed.

Once you get the foundation right, you will earn passive income for years to come. All it takes is good training, consistent work, and taking action!

I am now earning around $1000/month in passive income with little effort.

Yes, You CAN Sell Arbonne Online

Don’t Let “Them” Say You Can’t Build An Online Presence

OK, your goal is to sell your Arbonne products online. It might be nice to add new consultants to your team that way, too!

Here’s where everything to do with Arbonne advertising usually goes wrong.

Because some people claiming to have the Arbonne success secrets say something like this:

Post pictures of your Arbonne products on Facebook, Instagram or some other social media account.

Related Content: Your Social Media Plan

Ouch! Big mistake…

The reason this doesn’t work lies in how the Internet works…

…so before I can teach you how to make money with Arbonne , I must make sure you understand how to sell ANYTHING online.

Know this, too:

Some people tell you that Arbonne prevents you from legally selling online.

They say that your signed Arbonne independent consultant agreement prevents you from performing Arbonne marketing on your own website, for example.

Untrue. False.

Yes, it’s true that you must direct prospects to your personal MyArbonne website to make the sale…

…it’s also true that the replicated website provided by Arbonne lumps you in with all the other Arbonne consultants and won’t close sales for you.

Further, it’s true that you can build your own website, attract prospects who need your products, make money with Arbonne and do it without violating any rules.

More details on how to sell Arbonne this way below!

By the way, I get you thinking about 3 important questions in this video that help you know how to build your Arbonne network marketing business:

Why Most Fail At Selling Arbonne Products Online

For some strange reason, many people believe that doing business online is different from doing it offline.

Part of the reason is that many “guru” types have made it sound “push button” easy over the years.

Another part of the problem is that you’re not sitting face to face with your prospect.

The result is that people get excited about the products or how to make money with Arbonne and they start acting like crazy people on the Interwebs LOL

They jump on Facebook and yell about how you gotta get in on the ground floor of this AMAZING “thing” they found…

…or they post pictures with boxes & bottles showing the “Arbonne” name

This stuff turns people off.

If you partake in this activity, the result is the direct opposite of what you’re looking to achieve:

getting folks interested in you, your products, and your Arbonne business .

Before you do anything online, ask yourself this:

Would I say or do this if my prospect was standing in front of me offline?

If you wouldn’t walk into your job and scream, “I just joined Arbonne! It’s MLM! You gotta join me NOW because we’re gonna get rich…”

Or “I just joined Arbonne! They have the best products EVER! I’m seeing AMAZING results, we’re running this UBER-COOL Arbonne promotion and you just GOTTA buy some of this stuff from me!”

Kinda funny, huh? Brings a smile to my face thinking about someone doing that…

…would make for a great “crazy lady” Saturday Night Live skit…

OK, Matt, I get that selling Arbonne that way offline is silly, but how is simply posting my results on Facebook with Arbonne bottles in the pic the same as doing that?

It’s because you come across as an infomercial when people can see immediately what company you’re “pushing” (that’s how they perceive it, as “pushing”, and perception is reality in most cases).

You’re Losing Sales To Other Arbonne Consultants

Revealing the arbonne name on social media = lost sales.

What do you do when you have an interest in a product?

If you’re like most people, then you go to Google, Pinterest, Bing or YouTube and research more about it.

That’s why Arbonne Facebook posts like these lose sales:

The above Arbonne Facebook post has the company name plastered everywhere.

There’s no curiosity and her contacts, if by a remote chance are interested, have everything they need to go do some research.

This poor Arbonne consultant is doing what her upline is probably teaching.

And she’s losing sales.

First of all, the post is all about her. It’s an infomercial. It will probably get met with “Who cares” or “Just stop” thoughts from her Facebook contacts…or, worse, “ is this one of them pyramid thingies? ”

Second, if one of her contacts has an interest in the makeup, for example, they’ll go to Google and type in “arbonne marble palette vs (another brand they know)” .

That takes them down a rabbit hole of “who knows where”.

If they do buy the palette, it won’t be from the consultant who posted above.

Instead, they’ll buy from another Arbonne consultant who took the time to post helpful content like we’ll go into below.

Third, why is she posting about the Spiced Rooibos set and a makeup palette?

She’s spamming different products at two different target market avatars .

Just all-around bad Arbonne marketing.

I feel bad for her and every other network marketing rep being taught this ineffective nonsense.

She obviously wants to know how to make money with Arbonne, but no one has taught her what works and what doesn’t 🙁

Your Arbonne Marketing Ideas Must Include An Understanding Of General Internet Marketing “Best Practices”

“To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want. The world is not yet a crazy enough place to reward a whole bunch of undeserving people.” ― Charles T. Munger

When you want to know how to sell Arbonne online , it will serve you to put this Munger quote where you see it every day.

Successful online marketers, whether it’s in network marketing or selling a quilting course, follow the same path:

They become valuable to a specific target market. They provide the exact solutions to the problems their target market is on Google searching for.

Put this mantra under your Munger quote:

I’m an entrepreneur, not an Arbonne rep.

Please don’t gloss over this idea. Take a moment to ponder it and place it in your memory bank.

If you “see” yourself only as an Arbonne rep, you’ll easily fall into the hokey stuff I mentioned above…

…you’ll easily forget what I’m going to show you next.

I’m stalling on this point and making a big deal about it because…

…it’s the “sell Arbonne” fork-in-the-road that guarantees either success or your never-ending frustration and defeat.

Want To Know How To Sell Arbonne Online?

Create value, solve problems & deserve to serve others….

Let’s think about why your potential customers want to buy Arbonne products from you…

First, ask yourself what problem(s) you solve with your products…

Arbonne’s product line is broken up into 3 main areas:

You have a wide range of possibilities here when it comes to brainstorming Arbonne advertising ideas for attracting both customers and distributors for your business.

Let’s assume you’re most passionate about skincare because the products have personally made a difference for you.

Your Arbonne marketing plan isn’t to shout about how great the products are.

That’s like asking someone to marry you on the first date.

By the way, online marketing is best thought of as dating. Don’t scare your prospects off by trying to get them to buy or join the very first time they find you and your online content.

The way you “date” someone with online marketing is to become the problem solver…

…the person offering fantastic tips, tricks and solutions around your main topic area, or niche.

This process is often called Attraction Marketing. You may want to read my complete review of the Attraction Marketing Formula here .

So, if you’re most interested in the Arbonne skincare line, you’re now in the skincare niche (if it was the makeup, you’d be in the makeup niche, for example).

Here’s what you do:

Think about your target market & start creating online content that teaches specific skincare tips.

It’s that simple…

…and yet, it’s not that simple.

I go into detail about solving problems for your customers in this video training:

Your Brain Might “Roadblock” Your Arbonne Marketing Plan

If you’re like I was at the beginning of my online marketing journey, you might start making excuses when you hear “start creating content”.

You might feel scared about “creating content” as your brain tells you that you can’t do it…

…it’s normal to feel this way…

Here’s the truth:

You “create content” every day of your life.

When you tell someone about an amazing dinner you made (or bought), a movie you saw, something cool you saw on social media, etc…

…you’re doing what you need to do online.

You’re creating content around a topic of interest.

That’s all “creating content” means. You’re passing along information to others with the same interest.

Don’t get all weirded out by it 🙂

Another place your brain does you wrong is when you think, “I’m not a makeup expert” or “I’m not a skin care expert” .

“If I start talking about this stuff online, people will see right through me.”

Yes, they will, if you try to sell Arbonne online by pretending to be something you’re not.

You don’t need to do this.

Instead, you can use the “Journey Approach” .

Journey Approach to Successfully Selling Arbonne Products Online (without the Home Parties!)

The Journey Approach is simply this:

You get excited about the Arbonne skin care line, for example. The products helped you and your family. You’re not a skin care expert (yet). SO…

You simply get online and tell folks something along the lines of:

“Hey, I’m excited about skin care. I had this skin issue and I’ve discovered how to solve that problem. So, now I’m on a journey to find out more about skin care. As I do, I’m gonna tell you about it. Why don’t you come along on this journey with me? I don’t know where it’s all leading but I’m excited about it.”

Something like that…

Authentic. Real. You.

Don’t overcomplicate this stuff…

…and you’ll discover how to make money with Arbonne .

To recap: all you do is research the types of problems people have with skin care, makeup and/or nutrition.

• What are they worried about?
• What are they looking for?
• What do they want to know how to do?
• What problems are they struggling with?

Then, you simply offer tips and ideas for how to solve those types of challenges.

They now see you as someone helping them and THAT is what makes them look at you positively when you present Arbonne as the final solution.

Instead of bumbling along as an infomercial freakshow, you’ve created a positive, helpful situation that ends with people listening as you explain how your Arbonne products can make their lives better.

Example Of This Arbonne Advertising Idea In Action

Check out how many people search “How to get healthy glowing skin” on Google each month:

Or how about “skincare tips”:

Here’s a third quick example for “How to improve skin tone”:

I just showed you a pool of 3,950 targeted monthly leads for your Arbonne business with 3 simple keyword phrases.

There are literally tens of thousands of monthly search terms to go after.

Your market’s out there.

Learn how to attract them and you can make money with Arbonne.

Before I give you the information you need to get this into action, allow me to help you see why you don’t want to think of yourself as only an Arbonne rep.

Network Marketing Itself Might Kill Your Efforts At Selling Arbonne Online

Network marketing is a fantastic marketing platform.

It not only helps you get into a business where you can increase income and improve your life…

…it also helps you find additional personal development resources …

…which help you become a better version of yourself.

BUT, MLM has pitfalls and I wish someone pointed this stuff out to me back when I was brand new to it.

No Uniqueness

Every rep inside every network marketing company has a problem:

They are not unique.

Every consultant trying to make money with Arbonne is your competition.

If you try to sell Arbonne the way all the other consultants are taught to sell Arbonne, then you’re all competing with one another and creating a cesspool of the same Arbonne messaging that gets spewed all over the Internet.

Successful marketing comes from creating a unique selling proposition .

Using the Internet allows you to create a unique way to sell Arbonne …

…if you do it properly…

…and that’s a big IF, if you try to cut corners…

…which most people looking to make money online or in MLM are prone to do.

Don’t be this person.

Learn how Internet marketing works . Learn how to sell Arbonne in your own unique way.

The Solution To This Basic MLM Flaw

The solution is simple.

Develop your own online platform.

That’s “fancy speak” for:

Start a blog and point all your Arbonne Instagram or Facebook posts to it.

This works in EVERY niche, whether you’re selling knitting products or learning how to make money with Arbonne.

Everyone is looking for some “secret” that’s not there.

There’s no secret to successfully selling Arbonne online.

You need traffic…

…which is “fancy speak” that you need real people who have the problems your products solve…

…to come to your blog where you’ve posted your tips and other helpful information.

You need those people to come to a place where they feel like they’ve come to

• trust you, and
• welcome your product recommendations

The best way to build sustainable traffic (real people) is to create a blog (or website, whatever you want to call it).

It’s the way EVERY successful, long-term business operates online.

But, Matt, I See People Using Social Media Instead of a Blog

Yes, you do…and they’re building their businesses on sand that might collapse into a sink hole at any time.

Social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, SnapChat, etc) are rented entities.

YOU DO NOT OWN THEM.

If you do or say something there that the OWNERS don’t like, they’ll shut your account down.

Here today, gone/deleted tomorrow.

Don’t get me wrong. Social media is great and it’s also needed.

But professionals use their social media accounts to support what they OWN online.

The only way to own your slice of the Internet is to buy a domain name and set up your blog/website on it.

No one can take away your blog (unless you don’t pay for your hosting upon renewal, but that’s the price of doing “real” business online…and it’s cheap).

• Blog = Bedrock
• Social Media = Sand

A Bedrock Online Presence Solves Every Problem You’ll Encounter When Selling Arbonne

Using this method to successfully make money with Arbonne solves every problem:

1) You own your online efforts

Don’t underestimate this. I’ve experienced waking up one day to see my YouTube channel gone. I have friends who woke up to find their Facebook accounts deleted… poof! gone!

2) You create uniqueness

Once you get the training needed for how to create your blog and set it up properly, then you’ll start on a journey where you create a unique way to position how you sell Arbonne online.

There will be no one else like you.

As all the other Arbonne reps are doing the infomercial dance and wondering why no one pays attention to their nonsense…

…you’ll captivate your visitors and sell circles around other Arbonne distributors.

Here’s a quick example of an Arbonne consultant I found using her blog to attract quality prospects:

She wrote an article about fitness goals where she provided helpful tips.

She’s not screaming “Arbonne is GREAT” like an annoying infomercial.

She attracts women interested in fitness and improving their physical appearance and can sell products like these on the backend of that:

By the way, I had to hunt for an Arbonne consultant working the blogging strategy, which means you have absolutely zero competition if you get busy with this Arbonne advertising idea .

3) You create additional sources of income

If you create a skin care blog, or a makeup blog, or a nutrition blog…

…wait for it…

You OWN that traffic.

This means you can add additional income streams around that topic:

• You can sell ads…
• You can sell other affiliate products…
• You can sell Amazon products…
• You can even create your own products over time and make 100% of the sale…

You can do whatever the heck you want to make as much money as you need for you and your family to feel happy with the end result.

How To Get Started Selling Arbonne Online In This Manner…

OK, let’s get you started.

If you’ve read this far, then you’re “getting” what I’m saying.

You’re probably excited!

And you’re probably worried this is going to be hard, time consuming, [insert any other concern your have here]…

Don’t let your mind take you on a negative journey into doing nothing.

That’s unacceptable if you’re serious about learning how to make money with Arbonne 🙂

I’ve put together this Quick Start Guide that helps you start this journey.

I’ll show you how to get all the training you could ever want or need to turn yourself into an Arbonne success story.

Here’s what I encourage you to do next:

Go grab my Quick-Start Guide that explains how to implement what I’ve explained here in this post.

BONUS: Arbonne Social Media Posts

You’ll learn about how to effectively use the Internet to sell Arbonne when you go through this Quick-Start Guide that I’ve told you about above.

But I also want to give you some quick ideas you can use for your Arbonne social media posts that help you avoid the dangers I’ve discussed throughout this article.

Arbonne Instagram Posts

What’s the best way to post on IG when you want to know how to sell Arbonne on Instagram?

Do it right and you can get people messaging you , asking about your products & business.

I’ll start with the “lifestyle post”.

Consider the following points for your IG lifestyle posts:

• Use curiosity ( remember, no mention of Arbonne! )
• The psychology includes becoming relatable
• Include “behind the scenes”, such as being at home with your kids, or that you hike, or go to yoga
• Reveal how you “show up” to build your biz ( NOT “I just made $1 million”, but “I just made my kids lunch & now I’m gonna show my team something”)

Arbonne Instagram posts that get people interested in what you do already (cook, spend time with your kids, go shopping, eat yogurt for lunch, etc) result in people connecting with you , not Arbonne .

For example, pull over and go Live after you’ve picked your children up at school and say:

I’m working my business and I’m so grateful that my business allows me to pick up Jacob and Jill at school in the middle of the day. Well, oh my gosh! Jacob just said this from the backseat (insert the funny or cute thing your child said). Can you believe that?

That right there was an Instagram lifestyle post that also used the “business post” at the same time.

The key is to make it interesting in a way that helps your audience connect with you first . Again, there’s no talk yet about Arbonne products or becoming a consultant to make money.

It’s all about the connection.

Another example of an Instagram lifestyle post (by the way, this all works on Facebook, too):

Take an interesting selfie as you’re making dinner for your family. Include your spouse and kids. Make it fun and think of a funny caption for the photo.

Or, since you’re in the health & wellness niche, take a selfie when you’re doing yoga. Your audience needs to know personal details about what you enjoy in life.

Use “when things go wrong” situations as your Arbonne social media posts!

For example, don’t clean up the mess right away after the dog pees on the couch 🙂

Post about what just went wrong because you have potential customers who will relate to that big time.

I could go on and on with the possibilities here but I have limited space.

However, if you decide to pick up this resource that teaches these concepts + many more online marketing strategies for your business, then I’ll send you a free bonuses that teach you more about how to successfully use social media (the correct way).

You can also read my review about the above resource in case you need some add’l info.

Arbonne Facebook Posts

OK, let me give you a couple more Arbonne social media posts before I close this out 🙂

Let’s discuss “product posts” that don’t annoy your social media contacts and get people asking for more information about your products.

First, remember what spam looks like!

Spam is when you post with blatant product pics & the visible Arbonne name.

Again, do not do this:

Annoying + they no longer need to buy from you after they research that product on Google.

Use the correct psychology, such as curiosity, in your Arbonne Facebook posts so that your prospects say,

Oh my gosh! What is this? I need this to make my life better!

Quick Tip For Arbonne Product Posts On Facebook

• Stop telling people what your products are
• Start telling them what your products do

For example, does anyone really want to hear about skincare products?

They want the feeling that looking younger or refreshed gives them.

Your prospects don’t give a hoot about your AgeWell packaging, for instance. They want the benefit of feeling better about themselves after they look younger.

They want to feel sexy and for their husband or boyfriend to be attracted to them. They want their husband to look at them across the table on the dinner date and say, “Babe, let’s go home right now” (wink wink)

Nobody cares about the “exotic” ingredients or the patent from 51 countries or even if it’s 100% natural…they care slightly, but you need to tap into the feeling that using the product gives them if you want them to grab the credit card and buy from you.

Simple Curiosity Arbonne Facebook Posts

OMG! Just got my botox in a bottle!

This example comes straight from the bonuses I’ll give you free when you pick up this Attraction Marketing training right here .

No Arbonne bottles, no ingredients, no discounts codes, etc.

Here’s another:

Wow! This skincare I found! I haven’t looked this way or felt so refreshed in years!

You can do longer posts, too, where you might tell a story about how it stinks to see those lines appearing as we grow older…tap into the feelings when sagging skin becomes visible in the mirror and how you’re looking younger without needles, etc.

No mention of Arbonne but a whole bunch about what your audience really wants.

Tell them to message you directly and bam!

You have real, targeted and interested leads coming in off of Facebook.

Did you learn something new today? If so, I’d love to hear about it in the comments below…

And if you feel others on your Arbonne team can benefit from this info, I’m sure they’d greatly appreciate it if you shared this post with them!
