How to Become an Independent Herbalife Distributor
Herbalife sells weight management products and dietary supplements, among other products. Herbalife does not employ salespeople; it operates exclusively through a network of independent distributors. Being an Herbalife distributor is the same as many other entrepreneurial activities; it is a high-paying, difficult job or a low-paying, easy job. Few people succeed at it, simply because not many people have the self-discipline to do what it takes to succeed as an independent entrepreneur. The few who do succeed, however, create high residual incomes for themselves due to Herbalife's network marketing compensation plan.

Tips & Warnings
Use Herbalife products yourself, and encourage your distributors to use them. What separates network marketing setups like Herbalife and Nuskin from illegal "pyramid" schemes is the fact that people actually buy and use the products instead of simply shuffling money around.
Despite the fact that direct personal contact is usually the best way to sell Herbalife products, many distributors quit because they fail to draw a line between their personal and professional lives. Identify a certain number of people in your life who you are not going to try to sell Herbalife products to, or you may find your friends turning the other way when they see you coming.
