Start a Candle Business
There are a
few different ways that you can start a candle business. There
are many network marketing candle
companies which give you the freedom of running your own
business while they supply the candles. If you prefer you can
always make your own and start your own business from scratch
(i.e. make your own candles or buy them wholesale to sell).

What skills are helpful?
If you're doing it completely from scratch, you'll probably want
to learn the process of heating, scenting and pouring wax from
someone with some experience.
If you opt for the direct sales approach more than likely you
will be doing home parties as a selling technique so you will
need to be comfortable with a room full of people and being the
center of attention.
What tools are needed?
If you are beginning your candle business through a direct sales
company you will probably be required to purchase one of their
kits. Your kit will provide you with enough merchandise to get
you started.
If you are making your own candles, you will need wax (there is
bees wax or paraffin), molds, scents, wicks, dyes and something
to melt the wax down in such as a pan.
How do you get started?
A good first step is
setting up your website so that you can
begin to build an online presence. Once your website is up and
running you can start marketing yourself. Candles can easily be
marketed offline by giving them out as gifts or renting a booth
at a local craft fair and showing them there.
Building a candle business is going to take time especially if
you have chosen to make the candles yourself. Just remember that
a good business isn’t born overnight, it takes time. Set daily
and weekly goals for your business and celebrate the small
triumphs. Don’t let a setback or an unmet goal keep you from
reaching your full potential.
