Everyone
asked my wife and I what made us start our own soap business. The answer is
that it all started with Groupon. My wife had become attached to Groupon. One
day she saw a Groupon for a soap making class. We took the class together. It
was fun and surprisingly easy to make natural soap. On the way home we
discussed trying to make a business out of selling the soap. We made a few
batches of soap at home to practice and our soaps were good. I even made a
mistake in the process of one batch of soap and ended up making a soft scrub
instead. My wife invested in a large quantity of ingredients along with
equipment to manage and cure the soaps. This business is more than a hobby, it
may save our marriage. I have been unemployed for over five years. My vlogging,
blogging, e-books, and educational website has not made enough money to help
pitch in. We have had a good experience at a flea market selling Christmas
boxes full of our soaps. Now we have a website which allows us to sell our hand
made soaps all around the world. Thanks to Groupon we still have a family to
start a family business with.
