Do you want to make money on your terms and be your own boss? In my book, How to Sell Homemade Soap and Candles, I will show you how to start a profitable business doing something you already love to do - making and selling soap and candles. I will teach you everything I learned about starting, running, and growing a successful soap and candle making business. Years ago, I wanted to do something to contribute to my family financially while still being able to be home and raise my son. I was already making soap from scratch at home. When others took an interest in my homemade soap, the idea of starting a business took root. You will learn all there is to know about starting a new business venture selling soap and candles. If you have found that you have lots of extra time on your hands, making and selling soap and candles can be a wonderful use of that time. You can make a profit in this business - I will show you how! In this book, you will not find recipes or how-tos for crafting soap or candles. In fact, I would hope that you have already perfected your technique and know your recipes by heart. If you're ready for the next step, this book is for you. This book is more like a business startup guide than a recipe book. This book is aimed at those crafters who already know they have a great product but are looking for ways to make money from that craft.

You will also learn about pricing, branding, setting up a website, and creating a sure-fire sales presentation.
