Hello! One of my biggest dreams is to start my own business and earn money I really deserve. I recently started selling soap, but find it very hard to look for new clients. My business in internet-based and I currently only sell soap, not making it. All the soaps are handmade in United Kingdom. Just asking any tips or advices where to find more clients. Do you know any soap selling website (free) or any other way? I would be so thankful for your response!

So what type of soap are you selling? Dish washing, laundry or bathing soap? It's very hard to compete in business when a lot are making the same product already much less if you are not the direct manufacturer. My suggestion would be besides being internet based with this type of business is to go door to door, if for example it is dish washing soap then go find a restaurant or a newly opened eatery and ask them if they want to be supplied by you, the same principle goes for laundry and beauty soaps. Another thing is print handouts or fliers as to the benefits and advantages of using your product as compared to your competition, plus your contact number etc..etc...I understand you, it's not easy to start a new business, good luck

It is always great to start new business with great innovation. I think homemade soaps are good. I would suggest you to get some market survey and also do some research on the matter and this will be helpful for you. Ask your friends, family members, etc for support and also as clients.
