Making my soap more profitable - 5 steps I've taken

It's so difficult to balance creative fulfillment with fiscal responsibility and I feel like this past year was a big lesson in making the transition from "maker" mindset into business mindset. In this video, I'm discussing the different phases I've gone through with my soap as a product and what those changes have meant for profitability and efficiency in the production process. Hopefully this will give you a little glimpse into some of the more difficult aspects of this type of business while also providing opportunities to see these challenges as fun and creative in their own way.

I love, love, love that you're delving into the business side of a soap/handmade product business. There's not a lot of people covering this. I recently started diving into soap making and I'm looking at making it a side business (I work full time but it's only on weekends). Thanks for your insight. Keep the videos coming!

Thank for your honesty and love❤

Oh my gosh I get it!! I’m doing both at the same time. I feel like I just suck .,, but I keep trying.

Your flat top soaps are so so pretty! Especially with the packaging, they look very high end. Even more than if they had the swirly top I find. 💜✨

When I had seasonal soaps left over I would give them as gifts. These are great ideas. Thank you

Totally get the changes! My core line and my face bars are a pour , cut ,cure. But I still make small batches I call "soaps of the month" " gift sets" that keep the customers, that love the frills ,happy ...and me as a creator happy 😊

Thank you for making this video. I'm definitely thinking of letting go of swirling my soaps. Sizing up a batch is definitely the way to go, and swirling makes it complicated.

I am in love with the packaging of your products! ❤❤❤ did you create your own or custom-made by a professional? About double batches, you are correct. Making a single batch takes the same amount of time as a bigger/double batch. One thing I hate is when the ingredients go to waste or don't turn out how you expected
