Party Plan Candle Companies
Some popular candle companies exist that are always glad to have new salespeople join their ranks. What you do is promote the companies products in a variety of ways depending on which company you sign up with. Some companies are PartyLite Candles or Mia Bella Soy Candles.

Create Your Own Candles
This will definitely take a lot more time, energy, skill and money to get started. You need to learn how to make candles from scratch, which is definitely an art form! But, you'll find plenty of resources on the Internet to help you along. You can then sell your candles at craft fairs, or in shops in your local area, or set up a website to sell your candles. Some people sell their handcrafted candles on eBay. If you're already involved in candle making, this is likely an excellent choice for you!

Specialty Candles
As with many crafts, there are a number of different 'niche markets' when it comes to candle making. For instance - some specialize in wedding candles, or candles that look like food!

Wholesale Candles
Maybe you like sales, but you don't want to sign up with a large company like Partylite. Then, you can always try purchasing candles at wholesale price and then re-selling them at a profit. This is a great idea for someone who already has a shop or flea market booth and wants to add additional inventory.

If you LOVE candles, then a candle business might be just the work at home opportunity you've been looking for! With a little research and care you may very well be the next great success story.
