I'm considering joining Herbalife as a distributor, but I'm unsure about the realistic income potential. How much can I expect?

Herbalife says that its distributors make an average of $6,965 a year. It's important to remember, though, that 94% of distributors make less than $370 a year.

To get a better idea of the chances of making money and the risks involved, it's best to get information from outside sources, like the Federal Trade Commission report. Independent income disclosure statements, reviews, and regulatory reports can tell you a lot about how much you can earn and what risks you might be taking.

To make smart choices, you need to be able to think critically and put your financial well-being first. Distributors may make you sound like you can get rich quickly, but it's important to do a lot of research and think about all the information you can find before committing to any opportunity. You can be more sure that Herbalife is the right choice for you if you gather relevant information and carefully consider your options.
