Soap Making - The Easiest Business to Start

Are you an avid soap maker? Are you making more soap than you, your family or friends can possibly use in this lifetime?

Learn how to start a soap making business and you can make a serious part-time income. Problem is though that lots of other people have the same idea. Trick is most of those people aren't thinking about marketing. They just want to make soap and hope somebody buys it.

There are dozens of ways to sell soap. You can choose what methods you prefer. One of the easiest ways is to rent a space at a local festival or craft event. That's a great way to get started. Traders have often sold over 500 bars of soap in just two days of a festival. There's a trick to this...

Handmade soap will sell for $4 - $5 per bar, depending on where you are. If you're still with me ... do the arithmetic. That's at least $400 worth of soap you can make in three hours total and then you go sell the stuff. And I can make three batches like that per week with my cheap set-up. Let's see ... 3 times $400... And this stuff almost sells itself if you get in the right places. Can you see the potential of a soap business?

Try approaching stores in your area that might have an interest in natural products i.e. health food stores or bath and body stores. Give the store-owner a sample. Make sure it is esthetically pleasing to the eye and that the color and scent are perfect. Remember first impressions count most, and you might only be given one chance to capture their attention and possibly gain an account.

Remember you are only limited by your imagination when you set out to make soap your business.
