When you share on social media, your words live for a day—maybe two. Then they’re gone. But when you publish on your own website, those same ideas can keep working for you for months, even years. That’s what makes blogging one of the most powerful (and underused) tools for Young Living Brand Partners who want to reach more people without burning out on social media.
This week’s Weekly Work Session, Blogging for Brand Partners, shows how your blog can become a steady, low-pressure way to attract new leads and serve your audience—no marketing degree or tech background required.

Your story deserves a place where people can actually find it
Social media moves fast. Even your best posts disappear in a sea of noise. That’s why your blog matters—it’s your online home base. It’s a space you own, where your stories, insights, and experiences live on and continue to reach new people long after you hit publish.
For Brand Partners, a blog isn’t about becoming an influencer or chasing traffic. It’s about giving your audience a quiet, trustworthy place to get to know you. When someone finds your blog, they can learn at their own pace, explore topics that interest them, and decide when they’re ready to connect.
Over time, your posts start to build authority. People come to recognize your name, your style, and your perspective. That’s what creates trust—and trust is what leads to conversations, consults, and new customers.
Blogging connects your everyday sharing to real relationships
If you’ve ever felt unsure what to post online or how to turn your passion for Young Living into real prospects, you’re not alone. Most Brand Partners aren’t professional writers. They’re real people with stories worth sharing—stories that can help others live better, feel better, and make small changes that add up.
When you put those stories in writing, something powerful happens. You create a permanent place for people to find you. Each post becomes a friendly introduction that works quietly in the background, even when you’re busy doing life.
Your blog also gives you a natural bridge from curiosity to connection. Instead of trying to “sell” on social, you can invite people to your blog to learn more about a topic they’re already interested in. From there, they can join your email list, register for an event, or book a 1:1 chat—all through your GetOiling system.
What to write about (even if you don’t feel like a writer)
Many Brand Partners hesitate to start blogging because they don’t know what to say. But you already talk about the things that make great blog posts every day—what helps your family stay well, what you’ve learned about stress or sleep, or simple routines that make life smoother.
Here’s the secret: your blog doesn’t need to be about product. In fact, it shouldn’t be. Focus on your reader’s interests and goals. Help them understand the “why” behind wellness choices, not just the “what.”
If you mention a product, do it naturally and use your leaf link so you get credit if someone buys. But never rely on links as your strategy. Keep your focus on education and storytelling, and compliance will take care of itself.
Remember, product is the support act—you are the message. Your experiences, your insights, and your consistency are what make people want to follow you and learn more.
Your blog can feature more than writing
Not everyone loves to sit down and type—and that’s okay. Your blog is a perfect place to feature your videos and podcasts too. Whether you record a short product chat, a team training snippet, or an encouraging message, you can post it right alongside your written content.
This creates a library of value people can explore in their own time. Someone might read one article, then watch a related video. Another might listen to your podcast while cleaning or driving. Every interaction builds familiarity and trust.
With GetOiling, embedding videos or audio is as simple as pasting a link. Your blog becomes a hub that grows with you—one post, one video, one message at a time.
Best practices for posts that attract genuine interest
1. Write for humans, not search engines. Speak the way you do in conversation. Keep it clear and friendly.
2. Make it easy to read. Use short paragraphs, subheadings, and a clear headline that tells readers what they’ll learn.
3. Aim for around 1,000–2,000 words. That’s long enough to be helpful but short enough to stay engaging.
4. End with one clear next step. Invite readers to join your list, register for your class, or schedule a wellness consult. Each post should gently point them toward a way to connect.
5. Post consistently. Even once a month can make a big difference. Email your list and share on social when you publish—it reminds your community you’re still showing up and gives them a reason to check in.
Start now, improve later
Waiting for the “perfect” idea or the “right” words only keeps you stuck. Progress beats perfection every time. The best time to start blogging was six months ago—the second best time is today.
Your first few posts might feel simple, and that’s fine. You’ll get better with practice. The beauty of blogging is that you can always update old posts, add new details, or re-share them when a topic comes up again. Your blog grows and evolves as you do.
Think of each post as a stepping stone. Over time, you’ll have a collection of content that tells your story, teaches your audience, and builds trust one post at a time.
Use AI to make writing easier
If writing feels intimidating, let AI lend a hand. Inside GetOiling, you can set up your AI Settings so the Write with AI tool speaks in your voice and remembers your preferences. Once it’s tuned to you, it becomes like a friendly co-writer who helps you brainstorm topics, draft outlines, and polish your posts.
Use it to spark ideas when you’re stuck or to edit a post before publishing. Just remember: AI can help with words, but you bring the heart. Keep your story, tone, and experiences front and center.
Blogging is built into every GetOiling plan
Whether you’re just starting your $1 trial or running a full-time business, every GetOiling plan includes the same built-in blog feature alongside everything else you need to grow and stay connected. There’s no extra plug-in or add-on—it’s ready when you are.
