A comprehensive guide for beginners.

I have lately discovered the candle-making business and now I’m thinking of trying my skills in this business: first as a hobby and then as a secondary money earning. It’s a kind of therapy for me and I am happy there are such informative books about candle-making so that people can learn the basics, the secrets, and the main elements to improve their skills and become successful in this business. The first part of the book is devoted to candle-making techniques and starting from the second part it explains marketing strategies, business management secrets, and helpful tips to succeed in the candle-making business. Thanks to the author for this audiobook.

Great information for the novice!

This was incredibly enlightening and simple to follow, in my opinion. I've been making candles intermittently for years, but this provided me the tools I needed to start my own candle company.

Easy to follow.

This book provides a wonderful generalised overview of the commercial elements, together with information on the materials required and general candlemaking techniques. I had no clue how much work was truly involved in creating each type of candle, and now I have a better understanding of what to anticipate when I get started.

Great book

This was quite helpful in giving me ideas on how to launch my candle business. This book gave me marketing ideas and helped me identify the things I need to improve on for our handmade soy wax candle business. I heartily endorse this book!

Love it

I find it hard to imagine that the tiny book is so inflammatory. It is quite well written and uses simple terms. I'm very glad I placed the order!

A helpful audiobook for candle-makers.

Of course, it’s challenging to start a business when it’s just your hobby and you don’t want to sell your work but this book gave me another overview. It’s been 5 years since I’m making candles but this book covers topics that have opened up my eyes. It helped me to bring my skills to a professional level and make neater, more beautiful candles. It gives a better understanding of how to work with wax. Overall, this book comes with all the necessary topics and even more. It answers all questions regarding a successful candle-making business. My friends and family encourage me to start a candle-making business but I can say, if not for this book, I would never refer to it seriously.
