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.
There are a number of license-able papers out there, but we feel we're doing something a bit different. We have 4 monthly papers to choose from that you don't typically see as free papers as they're more magazine topics. A food paper, exercise, pets, and a celebrity news paper. Readers pay a lot of money to read magazines with these topics, why wouldn't they pick up a free version? These papers aren't 2-12 pages, they're 48-62 page tabloid papers. At no cost we do just about everything for you; we create the content and format it, we insert your ads in the paper, we create the ads for your advertisers if they don't have their own, we create & maintain your social media sites, we send the completed paper to a printer near you, and we help promote your paper through local live events. You just find your own advertisers, locations to accept the papers, & pay the printer & distribute. This can be done from home. This also comes with a money back option, we will buy the license back from you at the original cost if after 6 published issues it's not working out for you. You literally have nothing to lose. Every edition has the same content and look, like syndication. You can have some original content of your own included if you wish. With cities/towns that have a population up to 100,000 people your territory is the entire city/town. Larger cities territories are broken into North, South, West, and East. So there'll never be more than 4 license holders in one city.
