Why the wellness industry makes an ideal online business

Paul Zane Pilzer a world renowned economist became a
millionaire before the age of 26 after starting many
entrepreneurial businesses. He defines the term "wellness"
as money spent to make you feel healthier even when you
aren't "sick" by any standard medical terms.
He says that the next trillion dollar industry is the
wellness industry.

Wellness is on the increase as today people are becoming
much more aware of preventative healthcare and alternative
medicines than 15 or even 10 years ago.

Wellness simply means taking steps to prevent illness such
as eating a healthy diet,taking nutritional supplements,self
improvement,keeping fit,and using personal care products
that are non toxic to you or the environment.

He is a best selling author and has written several books
one of which is called "The Wellness Revolution, how to make
a fortune in the next trillion dollar industry"

The internet presents an ideal opportunity to develop a
business in the wellness industry as more and more people
are buying online.The number of people purchasing goods
online has doubled over the past year to 20 million.

A large proportion of these people are known as baby
boomers. They are reaching middle age and on the whole are
concerned with their health and diet,and are younger in
appearance and attitude than their parents were at that age.

They are looking to skin care products, vitamins and fitness
programs to keep them young.

generous compensation plan to ensure your success.
