Learn how to effectively masterbatch your soap recipes, white label, scale your business, and most of all - deliver a high quality product to your customers that keeps them coming back for more.

    Joanna, you totally are super woman! I agree with the commenter/fan below as well. I like your attitude of giving that little extra. I know how I feel when my suppliers do the same for me, it is always such a nice touch. It is also so very pleasing when I get a personal note as well. Thank you for sharing your successful methods with us, greatly appreciate your time and energy! :-)

    With my CZcams soap channel it’s still new too I am up to 1400 subs so I am still learning too. I would suggest the RODE mic brand. For your mic. You can get them for phones if you are videoing with your phone or you can get them for your DSLR camera if you are filming with that. Keep growing your channel! Love your videos!

  • @ConiferConnieTreeCow
    @ConiferConnieTreeCow Před 5 lety

    For screen recording I recommend iSpring (it works on Windows and possibly mac?) You can easily choose the region of the screen you want to record, and there is no watermark or time limit on the video despite it being 100 percent free. I use it all the time

    I think you mentioned screen recording, if so and if you have powerpoint, I use their screen recording option. There are apps for sure, but I like using the free options first! Let me know if you have questions about it.

    I know this is a little old....but OBS or OBS Studio is a free recording and streaming program that goes on your computer. It takes a little bit to set up, but its very customizable. So you can record your info on SoapMaker or even live stream soap making on whatever site you want to use.

    Hello Joanna.. Quick question how soon can i shrink wrap my cp soap after i have made it? 2 weeks or its to soon? Thanks in advance.

    • @TheSoapGal
      @TheSoapGal  Před 6 měsíci

      You'll know you're ready to shrink wrap when you've weighed your bars for at 2-3 days and have gotten consistent weights. I recommend weighing them for 2-3 days after your initial 48 hours. Depending on your recipe, if it's in higher in water you will want to wait longer. But I'd say no sooner than 72 hours.

    Second: It would be of help to give links and where to purchase to the various products used in the videos, such as the cutter, beveler, etc.

    Snagit is a great screen capture program for making vids. I believe the company has a free trial on it... watch some youtube vids on it and see if it might be right for you... and it gives you a idea on how to use it. Rodes microphones are amazing (I only know the microphone bit from watching vids by pros on it. ) I don't know anything about lighting. I am a pretty new soaper. I spent a year or 2 watching soaping vids... what I love about it (other than making the soap... because it is soooo much fun!) You can start on a really small scale... you don't need to go into debt and it is scaleable on this level. You will get a kick out of this... I found some art brush storage containers at dollarama for $2... they are 3.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches deep... 11.5 inches long. I line them with freezer paper. I am on a limited budget so you figure out stuff you can do without and put money into things like fragrances and shea. I have my niche all worked out. BUT this candle making stuff I do not know enough about. Can you recommend a tutorial please?

    • @cheekysaver
      @cheekysaver Před 5 lety

      BTW on all of your vids you should have a link for people to purchase your soaps from.... in the comments. It might take some time to build up online sales... but they sell at FULL retail value online. Affiliate links are also acceptable for products you mention. After all people do not pay more for the products mentioned.
