March Madness (Younique Style)

Hey! March has been another busy month for me and the company! We had an amazing product launch on the first of the month and the internet went completely insane. We added self tanner (FINALLY), tinted lip balm, a new foundation brush, lash curler, liquid eyeliner to the line up. When Younique first started out, it was easy to see who the all star was (clearly the 3D Fiber Lashes because that's where it all began!) But now there are so many other fantastic players on the team that it's hard to make a firm decision on who the MVP is anymore! You see what I've done there? Yeah I totally ran with the whole 'March Madness' thing but I have to stop myself here or it'll get a bit tedious!

As for myself,  I have gone from 150 followers on Twitter to 400 in a week and a half which I honestly can't believe! I remember when I hit 75 followers two months ago and I was crazy excited. I never thought this whole online marketing thing would go so well or be so fun! I have put a lot of time into it because, after all, it is my very own business and I want to do well but I really have enjoyed every moment of it and the success that has come along for the ride. If you would have asked me a year ago when I first tried the Younique 3D Fiber Lashes if I would ever become a presenter, I would have said no. My previous venture in the world of direct sales was quite traumatizing but this has been the exact opposite.

It's still such a strange feeling when people I don't know come up to me and compliment me on my makeup. My makeup wasn't bad looking before but I think it's the change in self confidence along with even better makeup skills. That's what doing YouTube videos and taking selfies for a living does for you! And I can actually have full on conversations with these people and not feel like I want to be swallowed into the floor. So, where are my sales at? I am so glad you asked! As you know, the month of February didn't exist on my Younique radar because of university classes being insane! As of 6pm today I am only $95 away from hitting yellow. I'm 90% of the way there. And it was so random as well. Here I was hosting a facbook party and no one had messaged me about placing an order or anything. I just randomly went onto my website to look up some products for my mom and there it was. Just sitting in my orders list, all neat and tidy. That feeling definitely does not get old! It's surprisingly addictive, I must add. If you haven't had that feeling yet you are definitely missing out. It goes a little something like this, "oh yeah just minding my own business having dinner and I got PAID." That pretty much sums it up.

Now for everything else, I still love my team. They are literally the most phenomenal women and they're all together in one group, rocking their business and supporting one another. And I have yet to see any drama which is unheard of and very refreshing. So that covers the money, team..... hmmmmmm what else is there? Oh yes, the haters. I am pleased to say that I haven't come across any so far. I think people expect you to act a certain way-- spamming, being unbearably sales-y, etc--- and when you aren't like that they don't really know what to do with themselves. I'm still, as ever, on the hunt for cons but I've only come up with pros so far. I will keep you updated though! Ok well maybe one minor con, I want the makeup. All. Of. It. But I did before anyway so it's not really a huge change, only now I have a legitimate business reason to treat myself!

Live Chat with Me!



Hey everyone! For the last several weeks I've been doing a lot of research, asking questions and getting answers from online marketing experts that are highly rated in the field and I have so much to share with you! I've been giving tips to my fellow Younique ladies and they have been doing such an awesome job! Why have I been doing this, you ask? Why don't I just use the exact same methods as everyone else in any online marketing business? Well, first off, I do use those techniques but I have also come across sooooo many that (many) other people either don't know about or just don't care enough about growing their business to try. I COULD just be content selling on facebook to my friends and family and I would make money doing that. There's no right or wrong way to run your business but that isn't what I want. I am going to the top and that means that I don't want to rely on the people I already know because that is such a small number compared to all of the rest of the people in the world!

That's the first part of the answer. The second part is, I'm doing it for you. That's right, YOU. The person who has taken time to read my blog and follow my journey. You may have been silent up until this point but it's now time to speak up and make a better future for yourself. I now have the training and tools to guide you and help you succeed. I can show you exactly how to work your business-- even if it isn't makeup. If you've been keeping up with my blog then you're already (at least midly) interested in my business, how it's going for me, and what I think of it so you can make the choice for yourself. I could literally type all day, writing up all of the amazing things about this company and what it's doing for me but you don't need to hear that because you already know. You want to know what I can do for you and how I can help YOU succeed. So, without further ado, I am going to be having a live chat on Thursday (March 17, 2016) on periscope (details below and male sure to add me in advance so you don't miss it!). I will answer any questions you have and support you in any way possible. I can give you some makeup tips and tricks, if that's what you're after or talk to you about how to succeed in the business you already have. Am I perfect? No. Do I have more to learn? Yes of course!!! Am I an expert? No. But I will say this: out of all of the people I've come across, I haven't met anyone who is doing this. Especially not for people who aren't in their sales family tree. I will work as hard as you do to get you to your goals and you aren't just a number. I want everyone to have every single tool I've learned and together we will find your strengths and utilize them for your success. That's what I'm about and that's the kind of person I am. Everyone told me that I'm too nice, caring, and sweet to be in a sales job. (I don't feel like I'm ever selling anything btw! I just talk to people, listen well, and help them). They told me you have to be ruthless, dishonest, and stop caring about others so much. What kind of advice is that?! That's not someone I would want to be around so why would I act that way?! I wouldn't, I haven't, and I won't. I'm not putting down anyone who is like that but this definitely isn't the business for you. You have put the welfare of your team and customer first. If you think I can provide you with value then come chat with me! If you want to skip the chat and start your business right now, follow this link :) Set Up Your Younique Business
