If you’ve been in Young Living for more than five minutes, you’ve probably heard the advice: make a list, reach out to everyone you know, share your story. And if you’re like most Brand Partners, you tried it. Maybe it worked for a little while. Maybe it didn’t work at all.
Either way, you probably hit a wall. You ran out of people to contact. You felt pushy. You started dreading the inevitable “no thanks” or worse, the silence. Chasing friends and family feels terrible, and it doesn’t create the steady stream of interested people you actually need to build a sustainable Young Living business.
There’s a better way. Instead of chasing people, you can build a simple system that brings the right people to you while you focus on real relationships with people who are already interested. This isn’t about working harder or posting more. It’s about working smarter with a strategy that makes growing your business feel natural instead of forced.
If you want tools built specifically for Brand Partners to make this easier, you can start a $1 trial of GetOiling here. And if you want to see exactly how this works in practice, join us for our weekly training where we walk through real examples.
Why Chasing People Doesn’t Work (And What Does)
The traditional advice to reach out to your warm market sounds good in theory. In practice, it leaves most Brand Partners feeling uncomfortable and stuck. You end up having awkward conversations with people who were just being polite. You worry about damaging relationships. You start to feel like that person nobody wants to sit next to at parties.
Here’s what happens when you rely only on chasing: you eventually run out of people. Your aunt already said no. Your coworker is in another network marketing company. Your neighbor avoids eye contact in the driveway. Now what?
The difference between sharing and chasing comes down to who’s raising their hand. When you’re chasing, you’re interrupting people who weren’t asking. When you’re sharing with people who are already interested, you’re having conversations people actually want to have. The best customers come from the second group, not the first.
What Growing Your Young Living Business Actually Means
Let’s simplify this. Growing your business means creating more conversations with people who want what you offer. That’s it. Not convincing. Not selling. Not pestering. Just connecting with people who are looking for the kind of support you provide.
The goal is steady opportunities, not constant hustle. You don’t need a hundred new leads every week. You need a few quality conversations with people who are genuinely interested in better sleep, more energy, calmer mornings, or whatever outcome you help people achieve.
This shift matters because it changes how you show up. Instead of thinking about who you can pitch today, you start thinking about how to make it easy for interested people to find you. Instead of feeling desperate for the next sale, you build a system that creates consistent opportunities.
The Compliant Way to Attract Young Living Leads
Here’s a mistake that trips up a lot of Brand Partners: posting product names and hoping people message you asking to buy. This approach has two problems. First, it doesn’t work. Second, it can create compliance issues.
People aren’t searching the internet for a specific bottle name. They’re searching for solutions to problems they’re facing right now. Better sleep. More energy. Ways to feel calmer. Simple wellness routines they can actually stick to. Support for seasonal discomfort. Help with their kids’ focus or their own stress levels.
When you lead with the outcomes you help people achieve instead of product names, two things happen. You attract people who actually need what you offer. And you stay compliant by focusing on education and support instead of making product claims.
This is where branding yourself matters. Instead of being “the oil girl,” you become the person who helps stressed moms create calmer mornings. Or the wellness educator who teaches people simple routines that fit their real life. The products become part of the solution later, inside a real conversation where you can ask questions and actually help.
The Two Ways Every Brand Partner Needs to Grow
If you want consistent growth, you need two things working together. First, you need to start conversations yourself with people who might be interested. Second, you need to create an easy way for interested people to find you and opt in on their own timeline.
Think of it this way. Starting conversations yourself means you’re actively reaching out, engaging with people, asking questions, and building relationships. Creating an easy way for people to find you means you have something they can opt into when they’re curious but not ready to buy or have a full conversation yet.
Most Brand Partners make the mistake of doing only one. If you only post and hope people come to you, you end up waiting around wondering why nobody’s messaging. If you only reach out to people but never build a simple next step, you burn out trying to have a hundred individual conversations with no way to nurture interest over time.
When you do both, you create steady opportunities. Some people will be ready to talk right now. Others will opt in and learn from you over weeks or months until they’re ready. Both matter. In this week’s training, we go much deeper into how these two approaches work together and what it actually looks like in practice.
What It Looks Like to Start Conversations Yourself
Starting conversations doesn’t mean sliding into DMs with a script. It means engaging with people in a way that feels natural and actually builds connection.
Here are some practical examples. You see someone post about struggling with sleep, and you reply asking what they’ve tried so far. You run into a friend who mentions feeling overwhelmed, and you ask about their current wellness routine. You join a local parenting group and genuinely participate in conversations about the challenges people are facing.
The key is starting with curiosity, not a sales pitch. You’re asking questions. You’re learning what people actually need. You’re building a real relationship before you ever mention Young Living.
This matters even if you’re also building your system for letting people come to you. Some people need that personal connection first. Some people will never opt into anything online but will have a great conversation with you in person. You need both approaches. In the training replay, we walk through real examples of what to say in DMs and how to start conversations that don’t feel pushy or scripted.
What It Looks Like to Let Interested People Come to You
This is where most Brand Partners get stuck. They know they should have a way for people to learn more, but they don’t know what that should be or how to set it up.
Here’s the simplest version: you need one clear next step people can take when they’re curious about what you do. This could be opting in to receive wellness tips from you. It could be a free resource that helps them with something they care about. It could be a way to stay connected and learn from you without any pressure to buy.
The important part is that it’s easy to find and easy to say yes to. You put the link in your social media bio. You include it in your email signature. You add it to your business cards. You create a QR code people can scan at local events. You mention it when someone asks what you do.
This works because not everyone is ready to buy right now. Most people need time to learn, to trust you, and to understand how you can help. When you give them an easy way to stay connected, you turn brief interest into an actual relationship over time.
In the training, we show you exactly where to set this up inside GetOiling and how to make sure people can actually find it. We also cover what to say when you share your link so it feels natural instead of salesy.
How to Maintain Both (Even on a Busy Schedule)
The reality is you don’t have hours every day to work on this. You have a life. You might have kids, a job, other commitments. You’re building this business in the margins, and that’s completely normal.
Here’s what a simple weekly rhythm can look like. You share your opt-in link a few times throughout the week so new people know how to connect with you. You start two or three real conversations with people who might be interested. You follow up with anyone who showed interest last week or opted into your system.
That’s it. You don’t need to post every day. You don’t need to message fifty people. You just need consistency with a few key activities that keep both approaches moving forward.
The training walks through a realistic weekly plan with actual time estimates so you can see what this looks like in your real life. We also cover how to keep track of conversations and follow-ups without relying on your memory or scattered notes.
The Done-For-You Option: Weekly Wellness Tips
If the idea of creating your own content to nurture leads sounds overwhelming, you’re in luck. GetOiling provides a done-for-you system called Weekly Wellness Tips that does the work for you.
Here’s how it works. People opt in through a landing page you can customize with your branding. Every Tuesday, they automatically receive a wellness tip email that provides real value while naturally introducing Young Living products in a compliant way. You don’t write the emails. You don’t design the landing page. You just share the link and let the system nurture your leads.
This matters because most Brand Partners don’t have time to write weekly emails. They also don’t always know what to say that stays compliant while still being compelling. Weekly Wellness Tips solves both problems. You get professionally written content that keeps your leads engaged and learning until they’re ready to take the next step.
Each month, we release new content focused on a specific wellness theme with featured products. You update your campaign once a month and you’re set. Your leads keep getting valuable content, and you stay top of mind without having to create everything from scratch. You can see examples of the monthly Weekly Wellness Tips content here.
This is your system for letting people come to you, already built and ready to use.
Why an All-in-One System Makes Growing Easier
Let’s talk about the tools problem. Most Brand Partners end up using one platform for their landing pages, another for email, another for managing contacts, another for booking calls, and another for taking payments. This creates three issues.
First, it’s expensive. You’re paying for multiple subscriptions every month, and those costs add up fast.
Second, it’s complicated. You’re logging into different systems, trying to remember passwords, learning different interfaces, and hoping everything connects properly. Most Brand Partners aren’t tech experts, and this scattered approach makes growing your business harder than it needs to be.
Third, there’s a compliance concern. Some popular platforms like Mailchimp explicitly don’t allow network marketing businesses in their terms of service. You could build your entire system on a platform that shuts down your account without warning.
GetOiling was built specifically for Brand Partners. Everything you need is in one place: websites, landing pages, email marketing, contact management, call booking, text messaging, payments, member areas, Zoom integration. One login. One monthly bill. Tools designed for how you actually run your Young Living business.
This matters because you can focus on building relationships instead of juggling platforms. You know your tools support compliant marketing. You have confidence that your system will work when someone opts in or books a call.
Your Simple Weekly Plan for Steady Growth
Growth doesn’t happen because you work harder. It happens because you work consistently on the right activities.
Here’s what steady growth actually looks like. You share your opt-in link consistently throughout the week. This could be in your Instagram stories, in a Facebook post, mentioned in a conversation, added to your email signature, or printed on a business card you hand out at an event. The goal is making sure people know how to connect with you.
You start a few real conversations each week with people who might be interested. Not scripts. Not pitches. Real questions about what they’re working on or struggling with. These could be online or in person. The point is intentionally building new relationships.
You follow up with anyone who shows interest. This is where most Brand Partners drop the ball. Someone opts in or says they want to learn more, and then nothing happens. Follow-up is what turns interest into actual customers.
You keep track of conversations so nothing falls through the cracks. Use GetOiling’s contact management to add notes after conversations, set reminders to follow up, and see your entire relationship history with each person in one place.
That’s your rhythm. It’s simple. It’s doable. And it creates consistent opportunities when you stick with it.
Mistakes That Keep Brand Partners Stuck
Let’s talk about what doesn’t work so you can avoid wasting time on the wrong approach.
Mistake one: Only posting and hoping someone messages you. If you only focus on creating content and never start conversations yourself, you’ll wonder why nobody’s reaching out. People need a reason to take action, and sometimes that reason is you starting the conversation first.
Mistake two: Only reaching out and never building an easy way for people to opt in. If you only do personal outreach but never create a simple next step, you’ll burn out. You can’t have a hundred individual conversations every week. You need a way to nurture interest over time.
Mistake three: Talking about products instead of outcomes people care about. Nobody is searching for a bottle name. They’re searching for better sleep, more energy, stress relief, focus support. Lead with what they want, not what you sell.
Mistake four: Sending a link before having a real conversation. Links don’t build relationships. Conversations do. Use links to support the relationship you’re building, not as a replacement for actually connecting with people.

What to Do Next
Growing your Young Living business doesn’t have to mean chasing friends and family or posting constantly and hoping for results. You can build a simple system that creates steady opportunities by combining two approaches: starting real conversations with interested people and making it easy for people to find you when they’re curious.
Here’s your next step. Pick one way for people to connect with you. If you want the fastest path, use the done-for-you Weekly Wellness Tips system inside GetOiling. If you want to create something custom, that works too. Just pick one and commit to it for the next two weeks.
Put that link everywhere people can find it. Your social media bio. Your email signature. Your business cards. Local events. Anywhere someone might be curious about what you do.
Start a few conversations this week with people who are already interested or might be. Ask questions. Build real relationships. Make it about them, not about making a sale.
