How to Actually Make Money as an Arbonne Consultant – Without the Hype

Hey there, athlete and beauty boss! If you’re here, you’re probably curious about how to make money as an Arbonne consultant—and you’re in the right place.

Maybe you’re tired of the 9-5 grind. Maybe you just want some extra income to fund your healthy lifestyle habits (because let’s be real, quality wellness products aren’t cheap!). Or maybe you’re like me—passionate about health, fitness, and helping others feel their best—and you want a business that fits into your already busy life.

Whatever your reason, I’m here to break down what it actually takes to make money with Arbonne—without the fluff, without the hype, and definitely without any “get rich quick” nonsense.

💡 First, What is Arbonne?

Arbonne is a plant-based health, wellness, and beauty brand that offers everything from clean skincare to targeted supplements (hello, gut health & energy boost!). The best part? It’s a social selling business model, meaning consultants like me (and maybe you!) share products we actually use and love while earning commissions on sales.

💰 Can You Really Make Money with Arbonne?

Yes, but let’s be real—it’s not magic, and it’s not passive income. Like any business, it takes effort, consistency, and a strategy to make it work. The people who see success aren’t just posting a product link and waiting for sales. They’re building a brand, showing up consistently, and offering value.

Here’s a breakdown of how you actually make money with Arbonne:

1. Retail Commissions (35%) – You get a commission every time someone shops through your link. The more value you provide (think: product education, demos, reviews), the more sales you generate.
2. Preferred Clients (15%) – Customers can sign up as Preferred Clients for a discount, and you earn commission on their orders.
3. Building a Team (Overrides & Bonuses) – If you want to scale, you can build a team and earn additional commissions on their sales. No, this isn’t a “recruit or fail” situation—you can 100% make money just selling products. But if you like mentoring and leadership? This is where the bigger earnings come in.
4. Incentives & Bonuses – Arbonne offers bonuses for hitting sales goals, team growth, and consistency. Extra cash + free products? Yes, please.

🚀 How to Actually Grow Your Arbonne Business (Without Feeling Salesy)

Nobody wants to be that person in people’s DMs. So let’s talk about how to build a successful Arbonne business the right way—with authenticity, trust, and a strategy that fits your lifestyle.

1️⃣ Find Your Niche 🎯

Not everyone will be your customer—and that’s a good thing. Instead of trying to sell to everyone, focus on your ideal audience. Are you a busy mom looking for clean beauty? An athlete focused on performance & recovery? A wellness lover who swears by gut health?
Lean into your own story and attract people who relate to you.

2️⃣ Show Up & Share (Not Just Sell) 📲

People don’t buy just because a product exists—they buy because of the transformation. Show up on social media, in Facebook groups, or through email by sharing your own results, routines, and experiences. Educate, inspire, and engage—then sprinkle in your offers.

✅ Post about your morning matcha ritual
✅ Share how TrueSport helps your workouts
✅ Show off your glowing skin from Arbonne’s skincare
🚫 Don’t just post “Buy this now!”—instead, show why you love it.

3️⃣ Be Consistent (Even When No One is Watching) ⏳

The biggest mistake? Quitting too soon. It takes time to build trust and an audience. If you show up consistently—even when sales aren’t rolling in yet—you’ll build momentum.

Tip: Batch content ahead of time so you’re not scrambling daily. Keep it simple and sustainable for your lifestyle.

4️⃣ Use Multiple Streams to Sell 🌍

Social media is great, but don’t stop there.

• Create a blog or email list
• Host wellness workshops or challenges
• Offer free guides & resources
• Team up with other wellness coaches

Your brand should be bigger than Arbonne—make it about you and what you stand for. That’s what makes people trust and buy from you.

💎 Is Arbonne Worth It? (My Honest Take)

If you’re expecting to sign up and make thousands overnight—nope. If you’re willing to put in the work, treat it like a real business, and love helping people feel amazing, then YES—it’s worth it.

With the right mindset and strategy, you can build an income stream that supports your wellness lifestyle, fits into your busy schedule, and helps others do the same.
