Soy & Beeswax Candle Making Handbook

How to Start a Home-based Profitable Candle-Making Business

According to the National Candle Association, the U.S. retail sales of candles are estimated at approximately 3.2 billion dollars annually and are growing.

If you are a candle lover, 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 over two decades, and I can assure you it is not a complex craft to master. It is one of the more straightforward home crafts anyone can try and see great success. But more importantly, you can enjoy the goodness of a natural soy or beeswax candle that is aromatic and good for you and your whole family.

But what if you could make much better-quality candles right at home and at a fraction of the cost? What if I told you it could be done in just a few hours? Lastly, what if I told you you could sell some of your creations and make a nice income from them 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 could pique 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 start getting creative and add your own touch, scent, and color to 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 make your own decision.
