Most questions about starting are not about oils and not about selling, but about the practical part: accounts, kits, and the paperwork around them. Good news: that part is smaller than it looks. Everything in order below, and the abbreviations you will meet along the way live in the glossary.
For clarity up front: I am a partner with the company all of this is about, and what someone builds here differs from person to person.
“How do I become a partner?”
Practically it is done in minutes: you create an account through the builder who will guide you, choose a starter kit, and can order the same day. Choose a kit and the enrolment fee is waived; the kits and prices are on the current price list.
One choice deserves more attention than the sign-up form: through whom you start. That person becomes your enroller, and so your first guide. Look at whether there is an active team behind them, whether guidance is real, and whether it clicks. Why that matters so much, you read at the rules around other teams: switching later is hard work, so choose well at the front.
“What is the difference between a customer account and a partner account?”
A customer account is for anyone who simply wants to order at a better price: 25% off everything, no obligations, nothing to sell. For most people this is exactly right.
A partner account gives the same discount, plus the ability to sell, build a team and receive a payout. One condition sits opposite that: if you want to receive commission in a month, a monthly order of 100 points within the loyalty programme belongs with it, and those are simply your own products for your home.
In doubt? Start as a customer. Upgrading to partner is possible at any time, without losing anything. Both accounts renew yearly, at around eighteen euros depending on the VAT rate in your country, with a 15 ml bottle of peppermint as a gift.
“Do I have to place a minimum order every month?”
No. Nothing is obligatory, not even with a partner account; you can order nothing for months and your account simply remains.
The difference sits between obligation and condition. There is a voluntary loyalty programme (LRP) through which you order monthly and get points back. And there is that one condition for builders: if you want to receive commission in a month, you place an order of at least 100 points within that loyalty programme. It really has to be an LRP order; a loose order of 100 points does not count for this. Skip a month and nothing bad happens; you just receive no payout for that month.
“Which starter kit do I choose?”
Choose by your goal, not by the price tag alone. If you mainly come for yourself, a kit with the oils you will genuinely use at home fits. If you want to work with customers, choose a kit that lets people smell and experience, because a scent convinces more than a story. And if you want to build a team, take a fuller kit: your kit is your toolkit, and building with too few tools is hard.
The current contents and prices are on the official price list; your guide will happily think along about what fits your goal.
“Do I need to register a business?”
The main line: as soon as you work regularly and with the aim of making a profit, registering a business is usually part of it. The exact rules and thresholds differ per country, and many people start small, on the side of a job, where lighter rules often apply at first.
This is an explanation, not personal advice. Check the current criteria with the chamber of commerce and the tax authority of your country, and put your own situation in front of someone who knows the field once. It costs an hour and it buys peace of mind.
“What about VAT and taxes?”
What you earn here goes into your tax return; that applies to commissions and to your own sales. Whether you also need to charge VAT depends on your country and your situation; most countries have an exemption scheme for small turnover. Keep your invoices and receipts from day one, and the administration later becomes a form to fill in instead of a search.
And the most honest advice I can give here: plan one conversation with an accountant at the start. One hour, your whole situation reviewed, and almost all the hassle is prevented. Tax rules change regularly, and how they work out differs from person to person, so general information only takes you halfway. Your accountant knows the current rules and your situation, and looks at it with you individually.
One building tip every month
Once you have started, the real work begins. Every month I send one tip about building: placement, ranks, conversations. Read in five minutes, applied the same day. When you sign up, the focus map comes as a welcome gift.
The abbreviations you now meet everywhere? They live in the glossary. And the numbers and ranks are in the online appendix.
This page is an explanation, not an official plan document and not tax or legal advice. Official documents and applicable rules lead, and no promises are made about income.
