What is the Thermal Mermaid Network?

The Thermal Mermaid Network is series of websites that specializes in education, exploration, and small business building for enthusiasts of DIY soap and cosmetics. The network includes over 10,000 members in a community of crafters who have a place to come together and discuss their hobby or business. Members have access to every site on the network, and each site specializes in a different aspect of soap and cosmetic making. Sites include full video instruction tutorials, thousands of recipes, access to Soap Craft Magazine, a platform to create an online store, a label designer to perfect your logo and brand with professional labels, an information directory, reviews on supplies, tools, calculators, and a library of e-books. One single membership supplies access to the entire network. Learn more about membership here.

What is Cottage DIY?

Cottage DIY is the website on the Thermal Mermaid Network where the Member's Dashboard is located to log in and access the entire network. Cottage DIY is focused on learning the small business cottage industry of soap making, and is the heart of the Thermal Mermaid Network. Cottage DIY hosts the Thermal Mermaid Soap Making Course and Recipe Directory. It also includes an exclusive social network platform where soap making crafters can come together and share their wisdom and experience. 

What are the other sites in the network?

ThermalMermaid.com is the flagship site of this network. You can visit ThermalMermaid.com to get the full explanation of our mission statement and discover all the features available to you with a membership. 

BathArtisan.com is a multi sellers marketplace. Built in the spirit of ebay and etsy, bathartisan.com allows for any member to create an online store free of listing fees or other store fees that are applied with other online platforms. (Standard credit card processing fees apply as they do with any business.) BathArtisan.com was built to give new businesses or small businesses a place to get their feet off the ground without accumulating costs that are a apart of every business. Stores are an exclusive feature to members of the Thermal Mermaid Network.

SoapCraftLabels.com is a tool that is only available to members of the network. The software was built specifically for soap and cosmetic makers in mind.  This site allows the crafter to design and print their own brand, logos, and labels.
