Why is selling essential oils online the best business at the moment?

I have been doing a lot of research on the subject of alternative health care in relation to essential oils and over the last 5 – 10 year there has been a massive rise in interest. So, for me it was a no-brainer, essential oils were trending so well that I just needed to get involved. The proof is in Google Trends that show that even though Alternative medicine is stable Essential oils has gained in popularity by a massive amount.

Nevertheless, Google trends data aside, you can only imagine how many uses there are for essential oils. There are 1000’s! They can be used to reduce stress, improve one’s well-being and happiness, relieve pain and even be used as bug repellent and cleaner.

In reality I am just an average guy that believed that if the house was clean enough, that would be good enough. Fortunately my wife loves using essential oils at home and so I have begun to appreciate the aroma from the diffuser around our home, so the house smells fresh when people come to visit. My personal choice is peppermint and wild orange.

My example of my own experience only shows us that everyone is a potential market and a possible customer. It just depends on the customer you intend to market and who you want to share your passion for essential oils.

Having the passion for the products such as essential oils is a positive element to any business venture, but the bones of running a business online comes from a slightly more mundane place. So ,understanding a few business models on how to sell essential oils online and promote your business so you really can make money in this industry is your main goal.

How to make a living from selling essential oils from home and online

There are a limitless amount of ways that you can earn money from an essential oils business. I am going to explain how we can do it online.

How to sell essential oils in Network Marketing or Direct Selling

There might be a chance that you landed on this page because you were researching doTERRA essential oils. It is a very big company in the network marketing industry, and the biggest of the essential oils direct selling companies.

doTERRA was formed in 2008 and offers a wide range of products ranging from therapeutic grade essential oils to doTERRA oil infused toothpaste and supplements. They are sold on a philosophy of natural living by doTERRA distributors that speaks very loudly to millions of people around the world.

Even though doTERRA is a great choice for the online marketer the main premise is how to make money from this company. When you join such a company you become an independent distributor or in the case of doTERRA a Wellness Advocate. In your team there is a possibility to earn money from retail sales and team bonuses which is shared between your team. For example, your friend Jane sponsors you and brings you into the company, so a percentage of your sales will create an income for her. If you sponsor someone into the company, a percentage of their sales will create an income for you.

This is the main reason it is called “Multi level marketing”, but in recent years they have been using “Relationship Marketing”, because the building of relationships is as important as the Multi levelled aspect.

Personally, I have enjoyed being in the network marketing industry, and like the team aspect of growing a business with other people. The relationships that I built in the early days still stay with me now with great warmth and support whatever business I have been in at that time. Everyone seems to be happy if someone is gaining success, because I believe that we all want the same thing, to have a happy and successful life.

Reaching out and selling essential oils online from your website

As I have already said, the best way to reach your customers is by having a website. You can argue with me about that but no matter how you look at it, there are more people on the internet than people you know personally.

You have bullied and pestered your family & friends and now you are in a dry spell, so, how do you find more people to be customers or new consultants? You need to reach out to people online and get them interested in whatever  you are offering.

To reach the entire world (or at least the entire English speaking world), then you can just pick a regular .com domain name. Dot coms are perfect for online network marketing. There are more than 2 billion people online and every one of them is a potential customer or new consultant for you. Furthermore, the population of the world is growing, and more people are getting internet access every day.

Creating a website sounds a bit challenging but the technology has advanced so much that it is a simple process for most of us. There are many website builders that will create a ready made website in a few minutes. You can add templates, a video, images and apps with the click of a button to give you a very cool and professional website.

Most people surfing the internet don’t really care how good looking your page is, they surf the web to read and gather information from them! The most important element on your website is going to be the articles you publish to it. If you have ever heard of ‘blogging’, then you know what I’m talking about.

At one time, blogging was like an online personal / public diary of our lives, but now blogs mean business. Running an essential oils related blog can be the vehicle to drive sales to your business.

How do you get customers to visit your website?

Creating a website that looks nice to the eye is the easy bit, the hard bit is to get visitors to your website and buy your oils.

The key is to be on the first page or preferably in the top three in google and as a .com business owner you will be competing with the big boys of the global marketplace.

However, this is some great news most online business owners and network marketers have no idea how to rank on page one, but I do. After five years of trial and error and now experience, I can show you how I do it. I have tried to simplify the process a bit so I don’t confuse you or even myself, but if you want to learn more details of how to rank on page one and get traffic to your website be sure to let me know.

The secret of selling essential oils online is keyword research

I would suggest that you go through this section slowly and then go through it again, because once you get this, you will have a eureka moment.

Utilizing a few online tools and tricks you can tap into Google’s search data and find out what people search for everyday. I know when large amounts of people are searching for something or if only a few. I can see how much competition there is on my website and if it is easy or tough.

For example, I know that there are 552 people searching for the term “essential oils for skin” every month, and that there are over 200 websites competing for this phrase. That’s a lot, considering there are only 10 spots on Google page one!

However, we need to understand that not every page on our website will rank, but over time, if we publish articles on low competition topics, then we increase our website authority on the topic, and start generating more traffic. I have some websites that get over 2,000 visits per day.

That means 2000 potential clients every single day for my business.

The topics you can write about on your website about essential oils are limitless, for example “essential oils for dogs” or “how to make essential oils soap at home” and the list goes on.

 

How to sell essential oils

If we look at the example above of the keyword, “which essential oils do what”: Each month there are between 100-1000 searches using this sentence, however there are only 30 pages in Google using it. This means that you have a real chance to have your webpage on the first page of Google and gain the traffic and the earning from this simple research of keywords.

Keywords and writing articles are the basics of how we attract customers to our website. I personally only start writing an article after I have found 15 -20 related keywords.

2 simple ways to make money from selling essential oils from home website

There are many ways to make money online, but I don’t want to overwhelm you with information so I have broken it down to 5 basic ways. When you start building your essential oils business from a website, you will not be able to learn more methods from talking to friends online with an interest in online marketing.

Affiliate Link Promotions

This is the most exciting way to me because you can make some big commissions depending on what you promote. The concept is that you promote a product on your website, but the buyer purchases it from a different website. You simply say, “I recommend this product” and link to your doTERRA website (via your affiliate link).

For essential oils, you could recommend things like different essential oils, essential oil blend, diffusers, related essential oil products and the doTERRA business opportunity. The possibilities are endless!

Display Ads

This is where Facebook for about 5$ a day will give you the option to market your business on the pages. You just create an advert using images, video, some text and your doTERRA affiliate link or your wedpage.

You can advertise the doTERRA business, the products or a deal.

Well, it depends on how you want to proceed, the doTERRA basic business package is $35 (20€ / £25 / 50 AUD), but if you truly want to get into selling essential oils online beyond using the doTERRA webshop you will need to invest in a domain name for about $10.   There are many extra things that are optional, but none are required.
