Making a business selling soap . Can I make money selling soap . Yes you can

[@soapysoaperton]

As a chronic over thinker with very little confidence in things I dont understand, I cant begin to explain my deep gratitude for people like you, who say "yes you can" to someone like me. Someone who has been told the opposite for his whole life. I have quite a bit of equipment and make wonderful soap and I have dipped my toe in the water but still have yet to jump in, even though I see so many people enjoying the swim. Thank you. I'll get there because of beautiful folks like you. ❤

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Awe thank you. It does feel scary and a lot of people are scared to jump in. Rejection and failure is always on peoples minds but if i did not try then id be sitting on the sofa still

[@tickledcobweb8764]

I wrap my bars, and get compliments for them like that, yes it does take longer but it’s worth it. It’s lovely to see you wrapping the bars. Thanks

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Oh thank you. It’s something a little different I guess.

[@ReidLiam]

Personally. In my opinion, you create almost an identity for yourself. Unique is what I think you call it 😂. Good to have comments like this that could push others with their own business Strength in numbere ❤

[@pandatoyou]

Thanks Rhonda, this gives me great joy as I've just started my own soap business through a business course.

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

That’s great. Good luck. Have fun with it too

Thank you. You are very welcome

It’s amazing the price difference from Australia to America. Depending on size and oils I’m from $5.50 to $8.00 US dollars which I converted about $8.50- $12.30 a bar Australian dollars, but I understand about the branding part your talking about which is excellent so I am trying to change all my products and downsize what are my largest in sales. It’s funny depending on what part of the country I live depends on my sales. Where I am now I do sell more then I did up North in NY. You are an inspiration & so helpful with all you share.😊

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Awe thank you. That makes my heart swell . Your so sweet. No one asks a large company to lower the cost so I think we should be the same

[@runningwaters3269]

Where were you in NYS? I live in NYS and am in the process of starting a soap/candle buisness. Curious on your thoughts with the market up this way?

[@NaturalMackie]

Thanks for sharing. You’re always so encouraging to others who want to start a business and those just starting out. 💜

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Oh thank you. I try as we all need some support and not everyone has that in their life so I hope I can give a little guidance

[@jobo8819]

I have found it incredibly interesting following and analysing so many professional Soap and Candlemakers feedback on starting/surviving/suceeding in this sort of bizo. For me...and as you yourself have alluded to many times...it's about loving what you do. I personally love the whole opportunity to do something you enjoy and that is creative. It's not easy starting your own bizo and for me personally this bizo may not be for me. but heck, all I know is I am thoroughly enjoying learning/exploring it all. From what I currently observe, it will be a long long time before I can give up my full time job as need to support my household financially as a Sole parent. But that's ok because I'm so keen to explore and find my niche with so many opportunities out there.

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Your so smart lovely xx I always say don’t give up your job as the road to success is a long one and many large companies will tell you that it took a decade to get there. It’s fun and worth it, I always think new doors open all the time so you never know where the hobby will take you

[@jobo8819]

​@@NelsonInteriorSoapery Thanks Rhonda xx I've always appreciated your particular honesty and candour. Lol....I absolutely love soap and candle making. It's like therapeutic and cant wait to get home after work, light up a candle and unmould/cut soap. Such a satisfying sense of achievement to think "I made that". And yes, I'm certainly not giving up on having my own bizo, it will take time, perserverance and due diligence. Always appreciate the support and knowledge you share. Have a great day. 😀

[@moniquetaylor4963]

Hi, how lovey that all looks. I am a complete beginner, although I have made soap before. I really want to start a business now. I love your packaging. What sort of paper is it printed on? Is it just printer paper?? I will follow what you do from now on, very good tips thank you.

I love your packaging. I'm new to this. I am wanting to start selling soon. LIke next month. Thinking about a pre-launch and then launching March 2025. Still feel like I have so much to do. I would love to have packaging like yours with my own logo of course. What did you use in Canva to make the paper? Also what do you put around them before wrapping? That little band? What is it made from? Thanks in advance. Happy Soaping.

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Hi there. The bank is wax or grease proof paper. I use baking paper. In canvas I designed in an A5 flyer then print

[@Mary20002]

Hi I truly appreciate your video…but I do have a question. Where do you get your wrapping paper for your soaps…thank you for sharing 👍👍👍

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

I made it. i design them all on Canva then print them on vista print

[@juliamcdonough1698]

How do you design & print your packaging? I would love to get away from boxing & have a nicer package like yours. TIA

Hello! Great video, thank you! How much does 1 soap of yours weights, please?

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Some are 120g but others are 220g but my average are 130g

[@lisagarrett1330]

Hi Rhonda! How do I go about having just one recipe for soap? I have so many combinations of oils and butters. It would be more simple just to have one recipe. I think it would be easier to build up a stock that way.

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

You can just use a base recipe and change the fragrance only. Find the recipe you like the most and use that as your base recipe

[@janette1694]

Hi from scotland uk can I ask how thick your wrapped paper is please ? Love your channel and your products there beautiful

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

It’s standard paper if I do it myself if when I order from vista print it’s flyer paper as it needs to be thin enough to neatly wrap

[@gods-anointedcook462]

Thank you

Que hermosos jabones, la admiro es muy creativa muchas felicidades, una pregunta donde compra sus moldes para que salgan asi de grandes como un jabon normal, los mios son de 100 gramos pero yo quiero hacerlos asi, y cuanto cuesta un jabon de ese tamaño? Muchas Gracias me encanta su canal🤩

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Hi there. Thank you for watching ❤ I use a slab mould then divide it into the bards. This mould makes into 65 bars and I got it from AU cutters. I will add links in today. My bars are tall thin bars of 2.3cm wide

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Also the cost is around $2.50-$4.50 per bar to make as I use organic butters

What company do you use in the USA to make packaging for you?

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

I was dealing with a company called oomasib . They have their main agent in the US but they may be offshore now. Im not sure

[@Prettygirlbubbles1]

What are those sheets you’re wrapping with before you wrap with the outer wrapper ?

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

Its baking paper as it helps the soap to move better in the wrap. It also stops any oil residue from coming onto the paper

[@Prettygirlbubbles1]

Thank you Rhonda

I've seen 60$ usa bottle of liquid hand soaps in shop. It's out there and selling so! There is definitely people out there with the money and willing to pay. Small business shouldn't low-ball themselves for all the work they put in. Quality oils and fragrances are NOT CHEAP especially if you buy organic stuff 😬

You are so right lovely

Are the paper printed at home or with a company? Can I see closer? Thanks
