Velata?
Is the Velata Business Opportunity any different for the Velata Consultant than any other mlm opportunities?
I completed a very quick review of Velata a little while ago but wanted to touch base again with a more thorough investigation.
What makes Velata better? Or Worse?
Can the Velata warmers and the Raclette Grill really give you financial freedom if you join, just like that Velata Distributor said?
These are all great questions!
If you found this blog, I’m sure it’s because you are thinking about joining Velata or other mlm because you want to break free from that regular 9 to 5 job. It’s very likely that you are seeking a make money at home opportunity.
Well, I have good news for you.
This is my LONG mlm review on Velata (See my first Velata Review to understand how badly I slacked off on giving you the nitty gritty details)
Get Ready to learn more about the Velata Consultant Opportunity and the Velata Compensation Plan (clearly a main concern).
Velata MLM Review – The Company
Website: velata.com
See my short Velata Review here.
Velata = 2012 = Idaho = 63 acres = Orville & Heidi Thompson
All of the products come from US based facility in Idaho and Kentucky.
The Velata products are then shipped out to US state, Guam, Canada and Puerto Rico.
As I’ve already stated in my Scentsy Review, Velata is a “sister” company with over 1,000 employees.
MLM Reviews – Velata Products
If you were to start counting the Velata Products, you might get tired very quickly because there are so many of them!
Main Velata Products are categorized into four distinct categories which are:
- Cooking & Serving
- Edibles
- Gifts of Goodness
- Kitchenware
There are so many Velata products that it would likely bore you to death for me to list them all.
I do understand you need some sort of idea of what they have though.
Velata products are favored by housewives and men who love the kitchen and they tend to sell better than you would think.
If you want to impress your friends, they have Velata Chocolate Products and Fondue Fun stuff!
They have so many other products, you can check out the list here.
I found very few Velata Product reviews that were completely terrible, so that’s good!
Velata – Compensation Plan
Velata is like most other mlms and comes with a compensation plan that involves a downline and selling product.
Right after you join, they ask you to make a list of all your family and friends and then they tell you to ask them to host parties for them. (This is nearly identical to what my Mary Kay Consultant friend was told to do)
It’s a typical direct selling home party.
You host, you get host rewards. You might play a game or two.
Hopefully there is wine.
You learn about the Velata products and as a Velata consultant, you try and get people to join you.
Of course you talk about how fun it is and how it’s changed your life first. (True or not because you are desperate to make a sale to pay for your expenses).
How Much Does Velata Cost?
Velata has monthly fees for their website: $10/month and then $5 each additional website.
You have to pay (this is a first I’ve seen this) International Fees of $5 – $10 /month.

Velata Review – The Final Decision
Velata is not a scam.
It’s one of those multi level marketing companies where people make money by selling some product AND recruiting others.
If you’re a partier and an entertainer and you especially love sharing food, then the Velata Opportunity just might be the thing for you.
I’m not a home party person. It’s all I can do to invite one group of friends over and then I get all weird and wonder what I’m supposed to do to entertain.
I wonder if I’m supposed to get a board game out or pour more alcohol.
I just can’t imagine me making a fuss over a chocolate fondue machine.
Then, on top of that trying to get people to work under me so I can make more money off of what they sell?
Not.
My.
Thing.
Plus…imagine if something goes wrong.
Then you’ll be just like me and my neighbor.
She got me in on the beachbody opportunity and I spent $500 or more…and got ZILCH back.
It’s just not smart to involve business with family and friends…especially mlm where the chances of making much of anything is super slim.
Lucky for you, I found a GREAT business model that allows you to work from home from your computer. (yes I work from home from my computer with this opportunity)
My days will soon always be like this…
- Easily stay home with my kids when they are sick
- See them off to the bus and be home when they are done with school
- Work online to build a massive presence.
- Work out mentally, spiritually and physical
- Enjoy the fruits of my labor
Even better than that?
I can take a vacation and still be making money. My websites work for me.
I can have more time with my family.
I can alter my schedule at any time without worrying about losing my job.
I can use my time as I want and create the financial freedom I deserve and want.
I won’t have to work around the clock.
