Think you are too busy to start a side-hustle? It is not worth it right? It could be rewarding but it will never pay off may be the answer to that. What if I told you the side0hustler could turn into a £10million business. Oh the sticker shock may not be in pounds, so how about 13,115,500.00 in US Dollars! All this from a side-hustle that started in a family kitchen 2 years ago.
Hannah Chapman, 25, worked a job dealing with social media two years ago, started melting wax at the age of 23 and it just took off. She started advertising on Instagram her candles and before she knew it she quit her day job to focus solely on making these candles. Chapman credits social media for her success, as without it she would not have the customer base she has today. She says, “That’s the beauty of social media – there are ways of leveraging it that don’t necessarily require money and I think that’s what makes it so exciting for budding companies and young entrepreneurs, it really levels the playing field.”
On top of all that, she is able to employ her dad as a worker in her supply chain. The business itself does not just rely on candle sales, also having wax melts, bath bombs, room sprays and other handmade items. What an accomplishment by Hannah!

After working around with making candles, he would go on to establish Bianchi Candle Co. and the Wild Worksman. He started selling his candles in Bel Angelo’s Boutique in Nebraska. Since then he has expanded to other local and non local shops. Along with his market expanding, he has been able to develop new fragrances for his candles which give people a larger variety. He makes his candles with all natural soy wax so that they are safer and actually burn longer than normal candles. It doesn’t stop there though, Bianchi took his first $200 profit and donated it to a police woman who was shot in duty. Since then, he has continued to donate back to the community.
