How to Turn Your Hobby Into a Home, Bath and Body Business
Here’s how you can start turning your creative hobby into a side hustle
If you’ve ever whipped up some body butter or poured a bar of soap and thought, “maybe I could sell this”, you’re in the right place.
Turning your hobby into a money-making side hustle might sound like a big leap, but we’ve seen hundreds of Soakies do just that, and we’re here to help you get started.
Start with Something You Love 💖
You don’t need a business plan to begin, just a bit of passion and a product you enjoy making.
Many Soakies started out with a small stash of bath bombs for friends and family, and then once the compliments started to roll in, they realised they were onto something.
Master the Basics 💪🏻
Before you go full steam ahead, get confident with your recipe. Make sure your bombs are fizzing, your body butter is smooth, and your labels are on point.
We’ve got kits and bundles to help you practise without blowing the budget, plus loads of free advice in our Facebook group and YouTube channel.
Snap It Like a Pro 📸
Don’t worry about fancy photography gear. Daylight, a clean background, and maybe a prop or two are all you need.
Pretty pictures help your products stand out, and people are more likely to buy when they can clearly see what they’re getting. Need inspo? Check out our tagged posts and see what other Soakies are doing.
Open a Shop (or Just a Page) 🛍️
You don’t need to dive into a website straight away. Plenty of Soakies start small with an Instagram page, Etsy shop or even word-of-mouth orders through Facebook.
Keep it simple. Focus on getting those first few sales and learning what your customers love most.
