My name is Steve Jackson and I have been with doTERRA for some years as a wellness advocate and global leader. I write many reviews for other products and companies, so I felt that I should write a overview and review to explain the ins and outs of my company. 

As a entrepreneur I have worked in the network marketing industry and later in online marketing for over 25 years. So, I have worked with some good and bad companies in my time. I would argue that doTERRA is one of the better companies in the direct sales and MLM industry. The main reason is because they are offering value to the customer and the distributors alike. They pay commissions and bonuses when they say and their customer service is friendly and informative.

Finally, their products are outstanding. Even with the usual haters they still maintain a high quality product that customers want to buy.

However, if you are reading this page I am sure you want more information than that, so lets get a little deeper into what doTERRA is all about.  

What does it mean to be apart of the doTERRA membership?

doTERRA was founded in 2008 with the goal to offer the best quality essential oils in the world. Most reviews agree they have achieved their goal.  Their business model is direct sales / network marketing. This allow individuals like you and me to start our own business on a shoe string. The reviews during the founding of doTERRA talked about a new era in the network marketing industry after the dysfunctional reputation of the past.

I feel that they have bought a new credibility, honesty and transparency to the industry.   However, even though some would argue that their product prices are quite opulent. The high quality and price ratio still attracts lots of global customers. This allows the distributor to earn more by selling less by treat it as an exclusive brand.

Is doTERRA essential oils a massive hype or is it worth getting a doTERRA membership?

I can't really say if becoming a distributor is worth doing for you, because you know what you want from life. However,  I can assure you that doTERRA and their oils are not a hype. So, before you start considering the benefits of becoming a distributor, ask yourself. 

Why you want to enroll in doTERRA?

And then check out the pros and cons before making a decision, remembering that "work is required".

Pros:

• A distributor gets 25% off the retail price of all doTERRA products
• A distributor receives 10–30% of their orders back in points redeemable for free product
• A distributor gets FREE product if the place a monthly LRP order over 125 pv

Cons:

• Unless a distributor treats their doTERRA membership as a business they are unlikely to make any money
• There is a learning process, but lets be honest, all new careers need a training period
• You will need access to the internet and a computer

How to choose a doTERRA starter kit or products for your first order?

doTERRA has a large collection of oils and additional oil related products. They are single and blended essential oils, personal care,  supplements and much more. I would suggest you download the doTERRA pdf catalog to get a full overview of our product line from the download button below. 


The most affordable way to purchase doTERRA products is to purchase one of the many doTERRA distributor kits rather than buying the oils individually. The reason is because if you purchase a kit you will get the oils at a drastically reduced price. Also, you will gain product points if you do a loyalty rewards fast track order and the enroll fee is waived. 

The most popular doTERRA oils and oil related products line

The products I have presented below are my personal favorites. However, the doTERRA collection is updated and added to on a regular basis. I would suggest you check whats new from the catalog so you can get the kit that fits you.  

Essential Oils and blends

My go to individual oils from my very first doTERRA starter kit has been peppermint oil and OnGuard which is a blend. For me, peppermint has always been a useful oil to have on hand. It has a refreshing and minty taste which is great for every social situation.  As for OnGuard, it is a must-have blend because of its incredible benefits. 

However, if you are intending to become a doTERRA distributor then a kit is where you want to be. The choice of kits vary from the Simply Solutions Kit at $105. To the Natural Solutions Kit for $570 which includes 100 LRP points, a LRP point accrual at 15% if doing the loyalty rewards fast track program.

Personal care product overview

The personal care products are broken down into four sections, Body Care, Spa, Salon Essentials Hair Care and Essential Skin Care. My wife personally loves the personal care collections kit and uses the products all the time. As a suggestion for getting these products at an affordable price is to save your LRP points and purchase a collection kit rather an individual products. 

Products my wife recommends is:

• The Skin Care Collection kit especially for the tightening serum
• The Salon Essentials Shampoo and Conditioner kit
• The Citrus Bliss Hand Lotion
• Correct-X
• And a new product Yarrow Pom Body Renewal Serum which is great for aging hands

The individual prices range from $9 to almost $90, however check out the collections for a better deal.  

doTERRA supplements for a healthier lifestyle

For an essential oils company, doTERRA has a large selection of supplements including for children and is even available as a starter kit. The types of supplements range from essential oil softgels, cellular health, cellular energy, weight loss shakes and even supplements especially for women.  However, their premier supplement package is called Lifelong Vitality Supplements. It is full of essential nutrients, metabolism benefits, and powerful antioxidants designed to help promote energy, health, and lifelong vitality. 

My wife and I have been using many of the supplements for some years with great results.  Our personal favorite is OnGuard Softgels Protective Blend, because it helps support our immune system's natural functions.

How much does it cost to get a doTERRA wholesale membership?

The membership comes in two choices depending on what you want from the memberships. The choices are becoming a wholesale customer or a wellness advocate (distributor).

Wholesale customer

If you become a Wholesale Customer, it will allows you to purchase doTERRA products for personal use at doTERRA wholesale prices of 25% below retail. Also, it allows you to join the loyalty reward program.

Wellness advocate

The role of the wellness advocates is to sell doTERRA products locally through person-to-person contact and globally through their personalized web shopping sites. As they sell the products, they reach various levels of achievement (ranks) and become leaders in sharing doTERRA products. They receive all the benefits the wholesale customer gets, but also receives a FREE webshop to promote their business.

How much does it cost?

To become either a wholesale customer or wellness advocate is $35 plus post and package, however as already mentioned if you purchases a product enrollment kit the enrollment fee is waived.

Is it worth getting a doTERRA membership to make money?

Many doTERRA reviews I have read argue that the main reason people consider doTERRA is because they want to make money from home. I  am personally not sure of that presumption. I think that many believe that is the reason they are joining but in reality they are mostly looking for a structure social circle where they can share oils and drink coffee. The numbers do not add up, because the amount of people treating doTERRA as a serious business are very few. There are stories of people very exited about starting a business then ordering their doTERRA starter kit and leaving it in the package.

The majority believe that no training is needed and speaking to a few friends and family will be enough to gain success and an income for life. Unfortunately, no business works like that and nor will a home based business like doTERRA.

So, is it possible to make money from doTERRA?

  
Yes, of course, but before you even setup an account consider how hard it is to run any business where you have invested thousands of dollars and then think how much would you do to make it work. To succeed in a home business you need to work twice as hard and educate yourself more than you ever have before.

Fortunately, if you join the right leader you will have the help and support that will guide you in the right direction. 

What mindset does someone need to succeed in doTERRA?

This is going to be a long journey, so understanding that the excitement of starting a business will not last and that hard work will be the key to success.  However, the main mindset is to know why you want a membership in the first place. Without understand your why will create a drift in the direction you are trying to commit to. Without a start, middle and end you will not know where you are going and when you have got there. 

Below I have put a list of bullets that will help you understand what it takes to become successful.

• Be a serious dreamer
• Aim for your goal
• Aim high!
• Know your WHY!
• List all the possible changes you will have to make
• Clarify all skills needed to achieve your set of goals
• Make your goals achievable
• Make a 1-year plan
• Specify the moves you need to make to achieve your goals
• Mark all the things you will do within a year on your calendar
• Always make assessments on your Business Plan
• Become a Leader

If I want a doTERRA membership as a wellness advocate what do I get for my enrollment fee?

• You will get all products at wholesale prices (25% off)
• You will be apart of the Loyalty Rewards Program (optional)
• You will be able to earn commission from all your sales
• You will get a personalized webshop for marketing doTERRA products
• You will get access to doTERRA business tools and reports
• You will be able to enroll other doTERRA members and make commissions off their sales

The conclusion to this doTERRA reviews

doTERRA is one of the most reputable essential oil companies in the world today for various reasons including the oil quality and testing protocol. This has created a massive loyal following from customers that make no profit from being a member apart from the great product they use everyday. 

This has created a large gap in the organization for the business minded membership who have serious need to make money from home.

These people include:

• Online and affiliate marketers looking for a second or third income stream
• Stay at home parents that want to make some extra money for the family
• Home based business owners looking for something new and interesting
• Someone living aboard and finding it difficult to get work locally
• Someone who simply has time on their hands and want to make some extra money

It doesn't matter what your motivation is, the is a place for your to build a business at an affordable price of $35 which in my opinion is outstanding.

So, should you join doTERRA?

If you want to buy high quality essential oils that work, then yes with out a doubt, however if you want to become a wellness advocate with a lackluster attitude I would suggest another company.

If you are really serious about running a business from home and you have the right mindset, doTERRA is the company for you. There is so much room for a new leader in doTERRA is will be surprised how much room you will have to succeed in this otherwise competitive industry.
