I have just started selling, so I haven't made a profit. With any business, unless you have little to no start up costs, it takes a few years to actually make a profit. It takes lots of time and testing for candles and bath and body products. If you have the time and money, give it a shot. Try and start out small with maybe votives or 8 oz containers and add from there. I have started with tarts and cold process soap. Business is slowly picking up, but I need to get more product made and advertise! Steph
