    Why don't you start replying to people on the forums, and see if they like you! Or message other Beachbody coaches to see what types of skills you need!

    OR go for it! Worst case scenario - you stop.

    I would find out whether there are any sales requirements. Can you be a Coach for the discount and not have to worry about meeting any quotas? If yes, then go for it. If you end up selling stuff, great. If not, that's fine too.

    I'm an Advocare distributor for the discount, we aren't required to meet any sales quotas or anything. I've sold maybe 3 things because I'm not the sales type.

    think that's your answer right there.

    But that doesn't mean she shouldn't become a coach for the discount if she isn't required to sell a certain amount.

    You have to pay $39.95 up-front to become a coach. As such, is any discount really worth it? And is the $15.95 monthly fee just for the website, or is it for the ability to market yourself as a "coach," and to continue receiving the discounts?


    In short, I'd say, "NO."

    so, you have to pay a monthly fee after the initial fee to become a coach?

    You can also make money by becoming a certified instructor. I'm not sure you have to be a coach to be certified, but I imagine you do.

    It's a genius business model, really. Beachbody is laughing all the way to the bank.

    Yes, there's an initial sign up fee of $39.95 (waived if you buy a Challenge Pack) and a monthly fee of $15.95 to cover 3 websites they create and maintain for you.

    To have an active status you need to buy at least $50 worth of product a month, but most people choose Shakeology which under $120 a month (before tax) after your 25% off discount.

    There's nothing wrong with becoming a coach to take advantage of the 25% discount.

    You don't have to sell anything. I still don't "sell" anything but I make enough to cover my Shakeology costs and most of the cost for my programs.

    If you do, don't start to harass your friends and family about the products. Don't constantly talk about it on your personal FB page (start a business page). It becomes very annoying to those not interested.

    Of course, your coach will encourage you. Your coach makes money off of you...... In my opinion, it's like a pyramid 'scam'.

    I know this is a crazy concept, but why not spend that money on real food, like chicken, instead?

    Yeeeaaahhhh...and how do you suppose OP would answer that question? Just trying to ready her for the demands of the job, 'specially if she's coming to forums to ask for help shilling a product that many, many, many of us here know is BS.

    Everyone is different. Some people need or just like encouragement. I am not a coach, but I have one that I buy workouts from and do some of her FB challenges. She is very encouraging. And I LOVE getting advance notice of upcoming sales on workouts.

    She does mention Shakeology a lot on FB and is constantly getting on my case because I don't eat breakfast, but I don't mind. I just tell her thanks but it's not my thing.

    Why couldn't I have thought of this business practice!

    1.Make people think they need my product when it actually doesn't help in any way and charge them a lot for it!
    2. Get them to pay me for a discount...
    3. Help them alienate their friends!!!

    Compare your expenses in a year's time:

    upfront fee + (monthly website fee x 12) + Beach body products you buy on discount

    vs. Beach body products you buy at regular price in a years time.

    Go with the one that keeps more money in your pocket.

    I'd imagine choice 2 is better for your bank account. You can help others reach your goals without being a Beach Body Coach. Use these forum and people you know as a support group to reach your goals instead.

    So after paying $40 to start, I'd have to pay at least $76 a month when my grocery budget is only $200 a month. No thanks, I can get a 5lb tub of the only whey protein that gets along with me for less than $75 on Amazon and that lasts for like 4 months.

    No offense, but I was really looking for the OP to answer (since she will be the one having to sell the products). My bad, though, as I just now realized it was posted a few days ago.
