It Can Be Very Profitable – Candle Making

Beaded Craft hobby

Is candle making the right business for you? Many people now find themselves in a position to start their own home business after being laid off from a job, or even just because they have more time on their hands. They want to do something personal that will allow them to make a profit right from the comfort of their own homes.

Historically that’s been one huge challenge, and something that has been as much decided by the perceived profitability of a book as the actual content or quality. Sadly craft book publishing, like any other book production, has long been controlled by the bean counters we all know and love!

Now we’re in a whole new craft book world, one where self-publishing is a practical reality. One where sales and distribution can be handled by you almost as easily as you handle email. One where you can take that book you’ve put your heart and soul into and actually publish it yourself…

… and of course you get to keep the lion’s share of the money!

Giving them away as gifts or using them yourself are just a few of the ways that candles can be used. For some, it is a very profitable business venture. Candle making and selling can be done entirely over the Internet, if you would like to do so. While other people prefer to market their candle creations at fairs, flea markets, trade shows, or even sell them to neighbors and family members.

I know what you’re going to ask next, what about a “real” book? A lot of people will buy the craft e-book you create but what about those who prefer something you can actually get hold of?

No problem at all. Companies like Lulu will take the digital file you’ve already created and print you as many hard cover versions as you like. What’s more, you don’t have to commit to huge and expensive print runs, you can order as few as just one! Besides a few technical things you need to do to make your cover artwork suit their specifications your craft e-book and its “real” version are the same thing.

The money you make from hard copies is obviously less – you do have to pay for that printed version — but it’s you who decides the price and the margins are still greater than via a traditional craft book publisher.

Creating gel candles is easy and quick. One of the coolest things about gel candles is that you can add decorations directly on the wax so they float from inside the candle. This can provide a rather unique look for your candle and is also a great way to personalize a candle if you are making it as a gift. You should also find that your gel candles burn noticeably slower than wax candles so they last a little longer. Happy candle making
