Breaking Into and Succeeding as a Candle Maker
How to Start a Candle Business

You have some artistic streak, after all, and you find yourself wondering why you can’t use it to make some money. Indeed, you can make your own candles at home and sell them for a profit online or other places. Candle making is one of the best work-at-home opportunities available right now. Seize your urge to make money for being creative and strike while the iron (or candle mold) is hot!

When you are thinking of making a career change (or any life change for that matter) self doubt can rear its ugly head time and again. Once you convince yourself you can get the education and training you need to make candles, you might think of other reasons for failure, like “I don’t have the space to make candles."

Candle making takes up a small amount of space compared to the potential for profit. If you have a back room, a garage, an unused walk-in closet, a basement or a shed (or even just a corner of your kitchen or dining room you can devote to your craft) then you have enough space for making candles.

You might think to yourself that you don’t know any scientific formulas and therefore can’t make the oil needed for scented candles, or wouldn’t know the correct ratio of oil to wax for the process. Never fear – there are plenty of candle supply dealers out there who have warehouses full of scented oil already formulated for candles and an abundance of places that will teach you how to make specialty candles such as scented candles.

There is no reason you wouldn’t be able to learn how to add fragrance to your creations, bringing art, tranquility and happiness to the homes or business of everyone you sell your candles. Candle makers through out history have exhibited that they have a substantial flare for success and growing a business. Benjamin Franklin, prone to a curious and agile mind and given to successful experiments, was one of the 17 children of his father – a candle maker (chandler).

Proctor and Gamble® was found in 1837 by a candle maker (Proctor) and a soap maker (Gamble) after they immigrated to the United States from Ireland and married sisters. They were so successful that by 1857 they had made their first million – a substantial sum and an impressive feat back then.

So, if you are of the same entrepreneurial cloth as those famous names, you should have no problem making your dream of making candles come true.

As a candle maker, you have unlimited option on what kind of candles and how you manufacture them:

Make them at home
Outsource the manufacturing part to wholesale candle factories
Make soy wax candles
Make beeswax candles
Make gel candles
Make paraffin-based candles
Make scented candles

Today, breaking into as a candle maker is easier than before. With sufficient preparation on what you're going to encounter, you should be able to break into and succeed in this growing field with confidence. StyleCareer.com Breaking Into and Succeeding as a Candle Maker contains most, if not all, the information needed to make and sell your candles with confidence.
