This question deserves a straight answer, and the straight answer has three parts: most people earn very little, a small number earn meaningfully, and nobody can tell you in advance which you will be.

Anyone giving you a specific figure - including a "typical" one - is generalising from a sample of one, or selling something.

Why no honest source gives you a number

Earnings here depend on variables that differ completely between people:

  • How many hours you put in, sustained over how many years
  • Whether you enjoy talking to people, which determines whether you keep doing it
  • How many people you know who buy this category of product
  • Your market, your country, your timing
  • Whether you build anything beyond your own purchases at all

The spread is enormous. Averages across such a distribution are meaningless, and medians are close to zero because most registered consultants are inactive.

The part that is certain

The discount. Up to 26% off your own purchases, from the first order, with no conditions.

This is not earnings - it reduces spending rather than producing income - but it is the one component that is immediate and guaranteed. Work out what you spend on cosmetics and household products annually, take a percentage of it, and that is a real, predictable number.

For most people who register, this is the entire financial outcome, and it is a positive one obtained at zero cost.

The part that is not certain

Beyond the discount, the compensation plan rewards volume - what you and the people you introduce actually move. This can grow into something substantial. It usually does not.

What is true about it:

  • It starts at zero for everyone
  • It is not passive; structures need continuing attention
  • It is not maintained automatically - levels generally require ongoing qualification
  • It takes years, not months, for anyone who gets there
  • The mechanics are published by Faberlic, and that is the source to read

What is not true about it: any timeline, any guaranteed figure, and any suggestion that effort reliably converts into income at a predictable rate.

The realistic tiers

Without numbers, the shape looks like this:

The majority. Register, order for themselves, benefit from the discount, earn nothing beyond it. This is not failure - for most it was the actual goal.

A smaller group. Order for a handful of friends and family, receive something modest and irregular on top of the discount. Usually a few hours a week alongside a job.

A small minority. Work at it consistently for years, build and maintain a structure, earn meaningfully. These people generally treat it as a primary activity and have the specific skills - patience, comfort with people, consistency - that it requires.

The distance between the second and third tiers is much larger than it appears from outside, and it is measured in years.

What determines which tier

Not motivation, and not the compensation plan. In practice:

  • Whether you enjoy it. Nobody sustains a decade of something they dislike
  • Consistency over intensity. Two hours a week for three years beats twenty hours a week for two months, by a wide margin
  • Genuine product knowledge, which is what makes people come back
  • Not damaging your relationships early, since the people you alienate in month one are unavailable in year three

The honest recommendation

Treat the discount as the reason to register, because it is certain. Treat anything beyond it as a possibility to test slowly, at low cost, with a decision point at ninety days.

If it turns out you enjoy the work, the ceiling is genuinely high and worth pursuing. If it does not, you have a permanent discount on things you buy anyway and have lost nothing - registration is free and carries no obligation.

What you should not do is make financial plans around the uncertain part before you have evidence about yourself.

For the mechanics of how the plan is structured, see the compensation piece in the business section - and read Faberlic's own published plan before relying on any of it.
