Selling dōTERRA Online
How to sell online
The 3 keys to selling oils online are:
- Cultivate a community of friends online (instagram, youtube, facebook, blog, etc.)
- Provide a landing page for people to watch a pre-recorded class & make a purchasing decision.
- Send followup emails to people who've watched your class.
Get your own DOTERRA Landing Page!
One of my strengths is using my knowledge of technology to help my team create beautiful LANDING PAGES! Here's an example of the page I create for people on my team.
Watch the video below to see the requirements on how to get this made for you!
Requirements to getting a Landing Page:
- Enroll 5 people you know & trust to start your team's foundation. This will give you good experience in teaching about oils & showing the kit options. If you're brand new to doTERRA, learn how to do this on Part 1 of our training HERE.
- Record yourself teaching a class. (remember it doesn't have to have slides like mine does, it just needs to have you being authentic and energetic)
- DOWNLOAD my CLASS SLIDES HERE
- DOWNLOAD my CLASS SCRIPT HERE
- Watch me teach mine HERE - Sign up for the newsletter service at MailChimp (you'll use this for sending followup emails after people watch your class -- very important!) Choose the $9.99/month "Essentials" subscription. This is required to have a landing page. If you have another newsletter platform you currently use, we CANNOT use it for this landing page. MailChimp is the only one that works with our email optin API. Yes, it is an added expense for you, but we are creating & hosting a landing page for you 100% free. Most landing page systems like EnrollPro & Synduit will charge $20-$60 a month. You are free to use their programs instead.
- Fill out THIS FORM so my tech team can set up your landing page!
- While you're waiting for your page to be built, you can get started creating your FOLLOWUP EMAILS.
Once you have your landing page set up, you'll have the PERFECT place to send people to learn more about oils and purchase through you. Now your job will be to focus on building your community and sending people to this page! Cool, huh?
The most important thing to remember when building your community is the the relationship you build with your followers should always be FIRST priority. Think of your social media persona like a bank account. You want to spend most of your time (80%) putting money into the bank by showing your authentic life, personality, thoughts, triumphs, struggles, & humor. People cannot connect with a picture of an oil, no matter how amazing it looks. So, at the core, what you must do is make sure people know who you are, what kind of life you live, and things you stand for in the arena of health, family, life, etc. People connect with people, so you need to show that you are a real person, who they can trust.
About 20% of your time will be talking about doTERRA and how it fits so well into your life. As long as you've poured 80% of your authentic life into your followers, they are going to be receptive to what you're offering. Be real and keep it simple.
When you talk about oils you'll direct them towards your beautiful landing page with your class & purchasing options!

The PROS & CONS of Starting a Blog:
Blogs are slowly declining in traffic, and while I'll never discourage anyone from starting or growing one, the time it takes to design it, write articles for it, and bring people to it can be overwhelming. Blogging is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it's great for growing a business, but on the other, it can take up a lot of time and can really take years before it's profitable.
That's why I typically recommend going the social media route to build a community (instagram, youtube, facebook).
