How to turn your hobby into a business.

It's been forever since I last posted, but this is worth he wait. For all of you soapmakers out there, that want to take there business to the next level. This is made for you.

I love to look for other handmade or natural soaps on the market and I stumbled across True Body Products. I went through her website, and was very impressed that she only sold one kind of soap, and she was thriving in her business. I was even more amazed at how The New York Times wrote many articles on her. This is a great read for any one who wants to learn how to turn there business into something big, especially us soapmakers.
