Let's Grow Together

In 2015 I began making candles when there was not much information online on how to grow a candle business. I had little wins here and there, but in 2016 I took some time off after having my first child.

In 2018 I had the spark to restart my business. I analyzed my wins and failures from my previous candle business attempt, and I totally revamped my business and marketing strategies. I also began documenting my business journey on YouTube at the time.

As my channel grew, so did my inbox haha. I knew I couldn't answer everyone's questions.

That's when Candle Biz Academy was born. I am so thankful to the first group of students for coming along for the ride.

What is Candle Biz Academy?

This course is geared towards candle makers who are interested in starting a business. You get immediate access to 9 modules. You will learn beginner and advanced candle-making. You will also learn the steps you need to get your products up on your websites.

I have learned how to sell my products on Etsy, Amazon, and my own website. I'm going to share with you the things I learned to get sales on multiple platforms.

I am a big believer in learning to build a business that is not heavily reliant on social media. You will learn valuable skills to grow your business.

When I received the vision to start my candle, scent, and home decor company, I had no idea I was embarking on a such an exciting, scary, frustrating, and phenomenal journey! My first stop for researching starting my business was YouTube university. One of the first videos I saw for starting a candle business was Tiana Coats with Winding Wick Candles. Her videos were so helpful and she had such a delightful personality.

I found Tiana on Instagram and sent her a message. She was warm, inviting, and helpful from the start. She would answer a million of my questions and provide really helpful advice. When she announced that she was launching a Candle Academy course, I was all in!

I took Tiana’s Candle Academy course and it has helped grow my understanding of being a business owner and enhancing my candle business significantly! I’m so grateful for her support and all the blood, sweat, and tears she put into the academy. The Candle Academy provides everything from beginning to end and she tells you every secret available.

Tiana even supported my business by partnering with me on a giveaway and by doing and unboxing video of my products on YouTube! I am forever grateful!

The course is truly a one stop shop for starting a candle business. Thank you Tiana!

How did I land a feature on Oprah's site and a trip to Etsy HQ in 1 year of starting my new brand?

Yes! This really happened in 2019. *Mind blown*

I noticed something on Etsy. Too many people copying already successful brands. I realized I needed to create something different. I really wanted to stand out in the market.

Decorative candles are nothing new, but I didn't see too many people doing it on Etsy in 2018. I learned how to create something fun and unique to me. These new designs combined with learning how search engine optimization worked to get my products seen!

I believe that when you create something unique you no longer have to worry about what your competition is doing.

Case Study: One of my students was featured on Buzzfeed using SEO techniques learned in the course. 👏🏽

Definitely one of the best investments I have ever made.

Value packed live calls

I will host live calls where you can ask any questions about candle-making or business in general.

I usually like to prepare a topic to talk about to get the conversation started. This is a great way to get more in depth knowledge on my past experiences and tips on what you can do in your stage of business.

Here are some common questions I get about the course.

Can I join if I'm a beginner?

How do I sell on Amazon Handmade?

How do I handle finances?

Will my questions be answered?

I live outside of the U.S. should I purchase this course?

Get help in between calls with the community

Candle Biz Academy has a community where CBA students can ask questions or just chat about business in general. Unlike a Facebook group, this private community is organized and searchable.
