A soap business seems like a dream as a way to turn a fun hobby to a money maker. That dream may not look so bright if one of several problems becomes part of the process. Here are problems that you may not think about.
Making a few bars of soap and watching as the soap turns from liquid to a hard bar is fascinating. Combine that with the interesting ways to color, scent and shape soap makes for real fun for many people. However volume soap making can turn to real work.
See, the way to make some real money with soap is to make lots of soap. Any way you slice it, that turns into work. Sure it's fun to go to an event and sell 500 bars of soap, which has happened to me many times.
But then think of having to make 500 bars of soap to replace those and then having to package all those bars and get them in shape to sell. It's a nice problem to have but it does mean lots of honest work.
Another basic problem confronts a soap maker when they begin the transformation from maker to marketer. Those are often two completely different skills, but both must be done to move soap. Are you eager to do what it takes to market soap? It really is quite simple to sell soap, but what it takes to get it done is something of a mystery if you haven't done it before.
Funny thing is, most would-be soap sellers often ignore the very easiest way to sell soap simply because they just never thought of it before. you surely don't want to pass up the easy way to sell soap.
Getting the volume of sales depends on how well you market which we cover in our material about starting a soap making business.
