    I have a candle business and the other thing you want to have is your biz registered as an LLC in your state as well as INSURANCE! Filing as an LLC means if someone was injured from using your products, they can't come after your personal assets. This is when your insurance kicks in. Great video!

      I’m about to start a candle business myself. Wow!!! Great info!!👍🏽 Thx!

      Can I ask how much one might pay for general liability/product liability insurance? I'm still in the researching stages of my business, but I can't really get an answer from any site. I know it will definitely be more expensive as a beginner.

      I thought LLC was the insurance

    Definitely allow a $500 budget. I had the grand idea of selling my candles in two packs with two complimentary fragrances meant to be burned at the same time. I found out the higher quality fragrance oils (Candle Science, Lone Star, Flaming Candle) are complex with many notes, top layers, bottom layers, and this made it difficult to match complimentary fragrances without it smelling to stinky. To create four unique sets of complimentary candles (8 difference scents) I had to purchase about 30 difference scents. The cost of 1 oz fragrance bottles is not expensive. It's the shipping that'll kill you.

    Starting my candle business and I’ve spent a lotttt more than $500 but it’s all great quality & very unique candles. Spending the time to perfect my website 🙏🏽 God bless anyone going into this field! It’s not easy but worth it to me. 💐💖 Thank you for sharing!

    great tips! but i totally 100% have to disagree with "no one caring" about your website. i personally will not order anything from a website that looks subpar. also, your branding and website has a HUGE impact on the way you are allowed to price your items. if you want to price your items luxury, or even a candle for over $20, your branding and website HAVE to be up to par, so people have an understanding in what they are paying for.

    • @TianaCoats
      @TianaCoats  Před 4 lety +27

      I absolutely agree about the look of your website. It has to look professional and trustworthy. What I meant was that nobody will visit your website without some sort of traffic. The site will not be seen in the huge sea of websites unless you have some sort of following or are running paid ads. It will save you money if you work on growing traffic on sites like Etsy using SEO with an already existing audience of millions of shoppers. A website will be a better option once you start driving your own traffic.

    I rarely comment on pages, but this was concise and helpful for beginners. It's a great starting point w/o being overwhelming with the legal stuff that scares you from taking the risk 😊 And yes that's super important to know but that wasn't the point of this video and I appreciate the separation.
    I make body butters for myself & family, but have wanted to do sell them and candles for years. I think I'm going to take the plunge. Thank you Tiana 😍😍❤️❤️
