NO LONGER FRANCHISING
Since 2006, LIVING WELL Magazine has successfully been bringing top professionals to it's targeted local market readers, those 50 and older with mid-to-upper level incomes.
It is no secret that these individuals make up one of the fastest growing segments of the population. They need and welcome quality health and wellness, legal and financial, and lifestyle information.
LIVING WELL Magazine advertisers, who also contribute their educational and informative articles to the full-color pages of our premier publication, align themselves with an elite company that helps them effectively reach large numbers of potential clients and at a very affordable cost that is much less than either direct mail or placing ads in local newspapers.
LIVING WELL Magazine offers its franchisees the opportunity to be an important asset serving seniors in their local communities while working from home part time and supplementing their income with a single market, or establishing a new fulltime career developing multiple markets in their area.
No publishing experience is required. If you have the ambition to succeed, you enjoy meeting and working with top professionals in your area, want to work from home at your own pace, and want to provide an educational and informative service to the people in your community, then the LIVING WELL Magazine opportunity may be the right one for you.
SportsXpress is a grassroots, multi-media publishing platform dedicated exclusively to the community sports lifestyle! We’re all about the athletes, their teams, coaches, families, volunteers and fans. We publish real life stories and include all ages and skill levels.
Our business plan was derived from the evident lack of coverage of local organized sports. Through discussions with numerous groups and associations we also discovered those involved in local sports view it as more of a "lifestyle" - an important part of their identity. Later, we discovered the local sports scene is one of the largest lifestyle segments in any community and across the country.
In the spring of 2008 we launched a test model and have been developing the playbook ever since.
We are excited to invite you to be a part of this distinct lifestyle - one that we call a “hidden economy”, and look forward to working with you on developing your winning game plan.
