Soy & Beeswax Candle Making Handbook: How to Start a Homebased Profitable Candle Making Business
Soy & Beeswax Candle Making HandbookHow to Start a Homebased Profitable Candle Making BusinessAccording to the National Candle Association U.S. retail sales of candles are estimated at approximately $3.2 billion dollars per year and growing.
If you are a candle lover, then you already know that not all candles are created equal right?
The question is why not, well, because most commercially made candles are full of paraffin, a petroleum byproduct that is cheap to use and harmful to you and your family. Not to mention they don’t give you the long-lasting aroma that some better quality candles provide.
I have been making and selling candles for little over two decades now, and I can assure you it is not a hard craft to master. It is one of the simpler home craft that anyone can try and see great success. But more importantly, you will be able to enjoy the goodness of a real soy or beeswax candle that is aromatic and good for you and your whole family.
But what if you can make much better quality candles right at home and at a fraction of the cost? What if I tell you it can be done in just few hour? Lastly what if I tell you, you can sell some of your creation and make a nice income from it right from home?
Could you use a little bit (or maybe a LOT) of extra cash each month? And wouldn’t it be great to be able to earn that extra cash without having to get another job. Wouldn’t it be great if you could earn this extra cash on YOUR terms.
In this book, I will show you how you can do just that.
If I was able to peak your interest, then let me say this, it is very doable, and NO it does not take any extra or special skill set. Once you know the basics, you can then start getting creative and add your own touch, scent, and color and make something so unique that just by looking at it, everyone will know it is your creation.
Okay now, let me give you a quick glimpse of what you will learn in this book so you can decide for yourself.

Best candle making book!
I loved the book! The author is amazing! I recommend this book to anyone who wants to start a candle business or just wants to make it a hobby! Easy to read, understand and put into practice. It would be nice if she wrote a soap making book, I would buy it in a heartbeat! Thank you for all the great advice!
