If you’ve ever sat down to write an email and thought, “I’ll just post this to Facebook instead,” we get it—us too! We didn’t join Young Living to become graphic designers or email marketers. We came in for wellness, family, and freedom—but along the way, we realized that staying consistent in business means showing up in people’s inboxes. That’s what this week’s GetGrowing Weekly Work Session is all about: making email simple, effective, and good-looking with the new GetOiling email builder.

Email that actually gets seen (when social media doesn’t)
We’ve all poured time into a Facebook post—picked the picture, crafted the caption, hit publish—and then waited for likes or comments that never came. The silence isn’t because your words don’t matter. It’s because social media decides who gets to see what, and the odds aren’t in your favor. That’s discouraging when you know what you’re sharing could genuinely help someone.
Email flips that script. When we send through GetOiling, our words go straight to someone’s inbox. It’s not left up to an algorithm or timing. And that consistency is priceless. Even if your note is short and simple, if it lands week after week, your audience begins to look for it. They know you’ll show up, and that trust builds over time.
For us as Brand Partners, that consistency is what helps people move from casual interest to loyal customer. It’s not about going viral. It’s about being steady, being there, and being remembered. Email makes that possible in a way no social feed ever can.
Think about it: how many posts do you remember from last week? Now think about the newsletters you actually open each week. Email lingers in a way social never will. That’s the opportunity we have with this tool.
Finally — an email tool that doesn’t feel like work
Confession time: most of us didn’t join Young Living to master tech. And when we wanted emails that looked a little more polished, many of us felt pushed toward platforms like Flodesk or Mailchimp.
But here’s the catch: those tools either limit or outright prohibit network marketing in their policies—making them a risky choice for our work. Not to mention, they’re an extra subscription on top of needing a website, landing pages, a contact manager, a member area, events manager and other tools to grow a Young Living business.
The new GetOiling builder changes the game. It gives us the ability to create polished, professional emails inside the platform we already use—without breaking rules or breaking the bank. You get the same drag-and-drop ease people love about those other tools, but in a system built for Brand Partners like us.
The best part? It’s not just about looks. The builder makes it simple to drop in your words, add a picture, or place a button that links to your blog, sign-up page, or latest special. You can arrange things until it feels right, and you’re ready to hit send. No coding. No stress. No late-night formatting gremlins.
And because it’s all part of GetOiling, everything lives under one roof. Your contacts, your landing pages, your content library, your member area, and now your beautiful emails—it’s all here. One wildly competitive price, one login, one system that supports the way we actually do business.
Make a better first impression in the inbox
Your email is judged before it’s even opened. Think about the last time you scrolled your inbox—what made you click one email over another? It was the name it came from and the little line of preview text. If those didn’t catch your eye, you kept scrolling. Your readers are the same way.
GetOiling lets us choose exactly how we show up. We can send as “Coach Renee” to prospects and “Renee Williams” to customers. Or maybe you like adding a friendly spin, like “Your Friend Renee.” You decide the tone, and it shows your readers that you’re intentional about the relationship.
Then there’s the new preview text feature. Instead of letting the inbox grab a random half sentence, you get to write something that sparks curiosity. Think of it as a second subject line. Instead of “Hi there,” you can write, “Three NingXia swaps for your morning routine” or “Quick fall diffuser blends you’ll love.” It’s a tiny change that can double the chances someone opens your message.
This isn’t about tricks. It’s about giving your readers a reason to stop scrolling and pay attention. A thoughtful sender name and preview text say, “This is worth opening.” And when people feel that, they click.
One good email can fuel weeks of content
We all know the feeling of staring at a blank page, wondering what on earth to write this week. That blank page is the enemy of consistency. The trick isn’t to force new creativity every time—it’s to reuse and repurpose what already works. That’s exactly what GetOiling helps us do with templates and reusable sections.
Picture this: you build one clean, simple design for your weekly newsletter. Maybe it has space for a story, a recipe, and a quick reminder about an event. Once you’ve saved it in your Content Library, you never start from scratch again. Each week you open it, swap in your new content, and send. It takes minutes instead of hours.
It gets even better with saved sections. Maybe you always share a “Tip of the Week” or a diffuser blend. Save it once, and drop it into any future email. Suddenly, the effort you put in once pays you back over and over. That’s duplication—something we already value in this business—applied to your communication system.
Consistency becomes possible when you don’t reinvent the wheel. And when your readers start recognizing your layout, it builds familiarity. They know what to expect, and that makes them more likely to open and engage.
Keep your emails out of spam and in front of people
One of the most frustrating things in email marketing is when your message never even makes it to the inbox. You write with care, hit send, and then it vanishes into the dreaded spam folder. The good news? Avoiding spam is easier than most people think—it comes down to design choices and best practices.
Busy, image-heavy designs are red flags for email filters. On the other hand, plain text without any structure looks unprofessional. The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle: clean, clear, with enough text to tell your story and just a few well-chosen visuals. That’s what the GetOiling builder makes simple.
Alt text on your images, short subject lines, and conversational content go a long way toward keeping your emails where they belong: front and center in someone’s inbox. And sometimes the simplest notes perform the best. A quick, personal message that looks like you wrote it just for them often gets more replies than something fancy.
At the end of the day, your words are the most important part. The builder just helps them show up in a way that’s polished, reliable, and less likely to get lost.
Real-life ways Brand Partners can put this to use
So how do we actually use this tool week by week? Here are some ideas pulled straight from the way we run our Young Living businesses:
- Nurturing prospects: Share your story across a few short emails that show how YL has made a difference in your life. People connect with people, and this helps them see what’s possible.
- Supporting customers: Send seasonal guides, simple NingXia swaps, or quick reminders about Loyalty Rewards points. A polished email makes your customers feel supported.
- Encouraging your team: Recognize achievements, send a monthly recap, or share resources for upcoming promos. A clean format makes it easy for them to stay engaged.
- Highlighting promotions: When Young Living drops a new bundle or holiday special, you can send something that looks intentional and professional—even if you created it in ten minutes.
The more we use this builder, the more we realize: it’s not about perfect design. It’s about connection. These emails help us show up consistently in a way that’s duplicatable for our teams. When people see that rhythm, they start to lean in—and that’s how growth happens.
Watch the walkthrough and see how simple it is
The easiest way to learn is by seeing it done. This week’s training replay walks through the email builder step by step. You’ll see how to choose your sender name, write preview text, save templates, and follow best practices so your emails look professional and land in the inbox. Watching the walkthrough will give you the confidence to try it yourself and see how much easier email can be.
Show up consistently the way you want to be seen
At the end of the day, the goal isn’t sending one perfect email. It’s building the habit of showing up, week after week, with content that helps. That consistency is what builds trust, and trust is what turns readers into customers, and customers into team members.
We don’t need to be designers. We don’t need endless hours. We just need a system that makes it easy. The new GetOiling builder is that system. It takes away the stress, gives us polish, and frees us to focus on what matters—serving people well.
