Hi everybody,
I'm new here (and to the soaping world in general) but I caught the bug from my better half. She has made soap for years and at one point was selling it at craft fairs and such. I watched her make a couple batches and it appealed to my inner "mad scientist". The possibilities are endless for tinkering... So now I find myself making as much soap as she does and we figured we may as well make an effort to get this insanity to support itself. If we happen to come out ahead I promise not to complain!
Ok, lengthy introduction complete, I now face the moment of truth... I have never had an online business before and I am *really* hoping that some of the folks that have been in my shoes before can clue me in as to whether or not we're off to a decent start. Right now we have a few items up and I thought perhaps getting feedback, good, bad or indifferent would be a decent idea before investing a ton more time and energy on this.
That said, the address is www.etsy.com/shop/WhiskeyCreekSoap so if anyone is so inclined, please take a look and let me know what your thoughts are.
I really appreciate the information I've found on here and look forward to hearing what's great and what's not so much.
