What is a Healthy Living Magazine?

Healthy Living Magazines are a unique brand of quarterly, regional-oriented publications featuring a region’s most respected Health, fitness, beauty & wellness individuals and organizations.
We provide a medium of recognition for community Health & Wellness leaders and each issue's content provides an expanded directory of services, articles and a Calendar.

Publishing a magazine is a complex business that requires creative talent and years of experience. Our system works with the novice who has little or no publishing experience. The Healthy Living Magazine concept is a comprehensive system that provides ongoing training, support and guidelines for franchisees.

If you are a "people person" who is enthusiastic and able to establish long-term business relationships, then Healthy Living Magazine may be just for you. Business owners should be eager to greet each day and build a successful business. You must be professional and have a desire to create positive change. You also need to have the skills to manage a proven business system including analyzing data, selecting quality editorial content and meeting deadlines in addition to organizational skills. It is also necessary to possess basic computer skills and have a general knowledge of applications.

The Right Choice
You may have already determined that an independent business franchise is what you are looking for and that you have the desire, determination, hard work and patience to become a successful entrepreneur. Building recognition and a reputation for quality products and services from the ground up takes time. By joining our family of Healthy Living Magazine franchisees and utilizing our systems, you have the opportunity to build a business without looking unprofessional and using the costly "trial by fire" method by doing it yourself.

Publish Healthy Living Magazine in your area. It's simple – we provide the editorial and we'll provide national advertisers. You sell local ads and provide local editorial (we will guide you in every step)

Purchase a franchise for an area for a set amount and pay a certain fee per issue. You keep the rest.
