Article 6 : Selling Soap - Any Buyers Out There?

For the past few days, I’ve been trying out the recipes and even experimenting on recipes of my own for making soap. I’m having so much fun, and I think I’ve made enough soap to last us till the end of the year!

I’m actually thinking about setting up a small business selling soap. Of course I’d have to perfect my recipe some more and make it even more unique. It would be a perfect part time business for me since I can create soap on my spare time, and market it from home.

How to start and set up a soap business is actually one of the topics discussed in The Super Soap Making Book. I’m re-playing this chapter a lot lately and doing a lot of research on the internet. I’m learning a lot about what I need to do for a successful debut, things such as packaging, deciding on a unique selling proposition, pricing and costing and so much more.

I’m not sure if I’ll be as successful selling soap as I am making it. But it’s definitely something I want to try. You’ll buy from me, won’t you? :)
