OK… I might be overdoing it with the soapmaking information, but I just got off the phone with a guy who has a great soapmaking resource that I’ve been reviewing. I’m about half way through it, and so far the information has been excellent. And, he’s the guy I’ll be interviewing some time this weekend or on Monday evening. I’ll keep you posted when the interview is available (for free of course).

But first, I wanted to share some soapmaking resources with you. Since I’ve been researching the Internet for soapmaking information, I figured I might as well let you benefit from my research. So here’s my top 5 soapmaking sites offering free information:

• Soapmaking on Suite 101
• www.TeachSoap.com
• Candle and Soapmaking at About.com
• eAudrey’s Luxuriant Soap and Homemaking
• Anne’s Soapmaking Page

So, if you’re interested in soapmaking, this is a great list of sites to start with. And, I’m working on my soapmaking buddy to see if we can get a deal on his product. Like I said, I think it’s great, and would love to see it in the hands of some of the craft business list. I think soapmaking is a great craft business idea, or an addition to an existing craft business.

Happy Crafting!

Over the past few weeks, I’ve become obsessed with making soap. There are just so many creative things you can do with soaps – from the design, to the colors, to the shapes, and the scents – that soapmaking seems like such a great craft to get involved in. And, I can tell you that handmade soaps are a VERY hot item at any craft fair. They are extremely marketable – beautiful, fun, inexpensive (but you can get a good profit), and they appeal to all the senses (especially smell).

I found a great general article on Wikipedia about soap. There’s a lot of good information, and some links for further study. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re interested in soapmaking.

And, since I’ve been doing my research, I’ve discovered a soapmaking guru who I’m going to be interviewing in a couple of days (as soon as we can figure out the best time). I’m not going to be doing the teleseminar thing again… I don’t think we’re going to be able to coordinate our schedules and make a time that a lot of other people will enjoy (looks like either early in the morning or very late at night is the quickest way for us to talk). But that means we’ll be able to record our Q&A session and have it up on the web so you can listen at your leisure.

Watch your email for a notification about the soapmaking Q&A. Should be some time early next week, but if you have some questions about soapmaking, then use the Contact Form to send it in to me. I’ll be talking with my soapmaking guru some time this weekend, so I should have the Q&A up next week.

Happy Crafting!

I’ve created another exclusive video tour of one of the great free craft business resources out there on the Internet.

You’ll hae to excuse my stumbling over words in this video – our new puppy, Ginger, kept waking us up last night trying to play with our cat, Cutie Pie. I’m exhausted, but wanted to make good on my promise to send out a video today.

You can check out the video at:

www.craftbusinessguide.com/video2.html

This video is even short – about 3 minutes – but the site I tour is great if you’re looking to start your own craft business.

NOTE: There are controls at the bottom of this video. If you cannot see them in your browser window, just scroll down a little bit. That way, you can pause the video if you need to.

Have a great evening,

Thanks,

P.S. Looks like November 1st or 2nd is going to be the day I launch

“How to Start Your Own Craft Business”

As a member of this list, you’ll be the first to know when my comprehensive craft business guide is available. Which is important as there will be special bonuses for the first 100 buyers. I’m also toying with the idea of a special teleseminar for people who buy in the first 24 hours. Watch
your email for more news.
