Where Does the Money Come From in Network Marketing? Here’s the Truth You Need t

Have you ever wondered how it's possible for people in network marketing to earn such impressive incomes? 

It might seem too good to be true—until you understand the powerful difference between traditional business models and the Forever Living business opportunity.

Let’s start by looking at how traditional business works. When you walk into a store and buy a product, what you're paying for is not just the item itself. A staggering 80% of the retail price goes to the distribution chain, which includes:

1. Transportation from the manufacturer to the wholesaler

2. Warehousing and further transportation to the retailer

3. Sales representatives and administrative staff

4. High retailer overheads like rent, electricity, and marketing

5. Advertising costs shared between wholesalers and retailers

All of these are businesses that must make a profit—and it’s the customer who pays for it all. That leaves the manufacturer with just 20% of the product's retail value to make the product and earn a profit.

Now, contrast that with Forever Living Products, the global leader in Aloe Vera-based health and wellness products. They do things very differently. Forever Living is a fully integrated company—they grow their own Aloe Vera, manufacture the products, package them, and distribute them directly to Forever Business Owners (FBOs) like us.

Instead of spending 80% on a costly distribution chain, Forever Living retains only 32% of the retail price to cover all production and logistics costs—and yes, still make a healthy profit. The remaining 68%? That goes directly to rewarding the people who actually move the products: the FBOs.

This 68% is divided into 4 powerful income streams:

1. Retail Profit: Each FBO earns 30% on personal product sales, plus monthly bonuses of 5%, 8%, 13%, or 18% depending on their level.

2. Team Bonuses: Earn 5%, 10%, or 13% based on the performance of your team.

3. Royalty Bonuses: Help someone become a Manager and earn 6% of their turnover, including their entire team!

4. Incentives: Qualify for exciting perks like a Car Plan, International Travel, and even Profit Share.

Here’s the most impressive part: Forever Living generated over $4 billion in sales across 168 countries last year—without any retail stores. All through a global network of FBOs who work flexibly from home, sharing products they love. In fact, Forever Living sells more Aloe Vera-based products in one month than all their competitors sell in a year.

So how can they afford to pay so generously? It’s simple: 68% of all turnover is set aside to reward the network. It’s a fair, sustainable model that means anyone, anywhere, can create real income—and even residual income that continues long after you've built your business.

When traditional work stops, so does the income. With Forever Living, you build an asset that can keep paying you for years to come.
