It has been proven the “Green” movement is good for our planet and us. There is a product that is gaining immense popularity with this movement. In fact, it is spawning cottage industries, and other opportunities for the ever-increasing crowd looking to start a home business. With the economy testing our patience and our pocketbooks at every turn, more and more people and families are looking to find ways they can make a few extra dollars. An ever-increasing amount of enterprising individuals and families are starting their own natural soy candle business, right from their homes. You can get started fairly quickly, and you have a couple of choices in how to get your business up and running within a few days. First, you can go the ultra quick start route by becoming a natural soy candle wholesaler. With this method, you’ll sign up to purchase candles at wholesale prices, and then resell them to make a profit. The company you choose to be your wholesale supplier should be one that’s been in business for a while and has an excellent customer service department. You’ll want to contact their customer service department prior to signing up to see how long they take to respond to you. If they take more than 24 hours, you may want to cross them off of your list as possible suppliers. These wholesaling companies can run from network marketing companies, to large wholesalers, drop-shippers or you can become and affiliate. All of these choices have their own positives and negatives. Depending on your own personal and business goals, which should point you in the correct direction to take. If you want to be on your own, find a good wholesale company, make sure it is one that has a quality natural soy candle that you love and would like to sell directly customers. Check the minimum order you would need to purchase to start out with. And also the amount you would need to order on subsequent orders. You will need a Tax ID as wholesalers will ask for this right up front, to make sure you’re an actual business. If your business goals are to build a team of direct sellers, then definitely network marketing is the way to go. Not too much to watch out for here, just don’t get talked into buying a ton of inventory to start your business. This is not only illegal; you don’t need the stress of trying to move a large inventory. When starting any business, spend money on marketing, not inventory. People will wait a few days for their product. And a real plus with these network-marketing companies, you can usually start with your Social Security number and not a Tax ID. Drop-Shipping companies may take a little extra legwork. You want to check these companies out very well. You are trusting them with your customer’s information, so trust will be a big part of this decision. You also want to make sure, the product your selling is what they are shipping. When you are selling a healthy “green” product like natural soy candles. You need to make sure that’s what they are getting. Affiliate programs abound on the web, again find an all natural soy candle you like and then look for an affiliate link on that website. Most natural soy candle companies on the web will have an affiliate program. You just need to sign up for their affiliate program and you get a link and you just send traffic to their site and you get a percentage of the sale if they buy. Of course you need a website of your own to do this. So this is not the route for the new person. I want to stress again, you’ll need to find a wholesale company that has a minimum order amount that you can afford when starting out in your new home business. If you can’t afford the initial minimum order, then you certainly don’t want to use the company. You may need to order just a few candles to restock a certain scented product, and you don’t want to have to pay $300 just to get six candles! Another thing to compare is the startup costs involved with each company. Some companies will let you become a wholesaler with very little start up fees, where other companies will charge $35 and higher just to sign up. If you can find a company you like that let’s you join just with an initial order, you may want to give them a try. Natural soy candles are a big business, and growing by leaps and bounds every year. Some companies are experiencing 30% growth and more per year. Now that’s the kind of business you can get excited about. It’s an easy business to get started in. You can join one of the wholesaler sites online and be in business in just a few short days, or even hours. Do you know anybody who doesn’t burn and love candles? Any way you choose to go, it is both a fun and profitable home business.
