Determine whether a Shaklee home business is right for you. A successful Shaklee distributor must have a passion for eco-friendly living and the time and resources to build his own network of customers. While Shaklee is a recognized brand, home sellers must network and advertise to generate sales and find new customers.

Order a registration packet for one of Shaklee's three distribution options. The first option is as a gold ambassador. As of August 2009, this option cost $299 and included a welcome kit, a personal website to sell products online and product action kits to promote your new business. The second option is as a distributor. As of August 2009, this option costs $39.95 and includes opportunity brochures, distributor support from the Shaklee resource center and promotional material. The final option is as a member, which costs $15 and has coupons and a catalog with the option to become a full distributor later. The last option is useful for those who wish to try Shaklee's products before promoting them.

Aim for bonuses to increase your Shaklee income. While all Shaklee distributors receive a commission, the company offers incentives through regular bonuses and monthly specials. For example, all gold ambassadors receive an added bonus on top of the standard commission. Additional bonuses are offered to individuals who sell to large groups; those who recruit new Shaklee distributors and those who promote Shaklee's new product launches.
