Everything You Need to Become a Successful Creator

With these 5 things, you’ll go far as a creator in the home, bath and body industry

We have over 3.7k makers in our Facebook Support Group and thousands more in our customer database, so it’s fair to say that, during our years in business, we have seen many creators come and go. 

Those who have flourished in terms of their skills, business and personal growth all have five things in common. And we’re going to share them with you so that you have the same chance to replicate their success.

Therefore, if you’re considering a new career path in cosmetic creation or you’re looking to turn your part-time hobby into a full-time job, you’re going to want to read this blog. 

A Love for the Craft 💖

By this, we don’t mean that you like using bath bombs yourself. We mean a genuine passion for creating that enables you to put the utmost care, attention and effort into every one of your designs.

If you know that you’re susceptible to getting bored quickly, it might be a better idea for you to test your level of interest with our “Make Your Own” Kits before diving headfirst into an assessment.

An Online Presence 💻

With so many creators promoting similar products, there is significant competition online for the attention of potential buyers. 

Therefore, if you’re going to take your business seriously, you’ll have to develop your online presence so that it stacks up against others within your industry. For example, you must be consistent with your social media, have a fully optimised website, and understand popular sales outlets such as Etsy.

Motivation to Sell

If you don’t have the motivation to sell your products, you won’t sell anything. It’s as simple as that. 

When first starting a business, you have to be proactive in your approach to put yourself out there and introduce yourself to customers whether that’s at local craft fairs, on social media or in your local community leaflet. 

Money to Fall Back on 💵

Controversially, we strongly believe that you should start with cosmetic creation as a side hustle initially. Then, once you have a significant customer base and confidence in your brand and products, you can start to expand. 

If you’re desperate for sales to make ends meet, you’ll soon find that the cohesion and quality of your business will start to decline drastically.

Resilience 💪🏼

Arguably the most important point of all… You need to have resilience. 

So, if your bath bombs crumble into dust, or an Instagram reel flops, or you get no sales at a craft fair, you can dust yourself off and keep going. Don’t let setbacks define your business journey, instead deal with them efficiently and move forward.
