I stopped dicking around. I sold about half of my supply. I had to make some more. I made ~$300 this past week. I have reinvested or will be reinvesting most if not all of it back in. I’ll be expanding my production capabilities and will be adding one or two more products with a quicker pathway to market. This has really proven to me that if i just do it and quit making excuses, that i have a real opportunity here. With a little marketing/advertising i should be able to easily make $1000+ a week within the year(again assuming i don’t dick around). Also, i have a neighbor who owns a business. He seems to be interested and might be taking me under his wing a bit. But we’ll see.

Even if you don’t celebrate Easter or don’t believe, i hope you have a joyous day nonetheless.

Treat this like discord or a running live chat. Do not make posts just spamming videos or memes. Those can go here.

I made 2 more slabs of soap. I now have Lemongrass, Vanilla, Lavender, and Eucalyptus. 40 bars in total, 10 of each. As you can see, i redid my lavender slab, it looks much better now. I’ve also wrapped them. Now i just need to figure out how to make the “labels”. That’ll take me a good minute, i can never get tech. to work right for me, but it’s gotta get done. And then i just have to figure out the best way to sell them. It’s a bit cold for farmers markets at the moment, but i plan on attending those in the upcoming months. And i do plan on selling online, but i don’t have a following and i expect that to take some time to build. I’m debating whether or not i should download tiktok. I don’t really want to, but i think it could be a good way of driving traffic, better than YT shorts anyway. Other than that, I’ll probably just start by selling to family, friends, friends of family and friends, acquaintances from various social gatherings/functions that i or my family attend, as well as neighbors. And lastly I’ll probably try reaching out to various people such as teachers that i’ve had in the past. I’m also considering door to door sales or selling on a street corner but after consulting the AI’s i might avoid that as it “degrades the premium presentation of the product”. So instead i may try to sell small batches to localized shops, barbers, and salons, etc. Will keep you all updated.

I’ve got my soaps wrapped and labeled. I used Claude AI to make sure i have all necessary information and to create the ingredients information on the backs of the labels. And i “made” my logo and made my labels on Canva. I did it all free, you can too. My current “motto” is “clean as a kitten”. I think i need something better, so any suggestions are welcome, but for now i’ve got nothing. For context, my main inspiration for this brand is RedBull. I don’t drink the stuff, but they’ve got a killer brand. And i want to go for a “RedBull gives you wings” type of vibe but for my soaps if that makes any sense. Anyway, now all that’s left to do is sell. I’ll keep you all updated in the future. Additionally, i’ve begun preparing a proper workspace for full time soap making.
