Over the last five years, consumers as a group have opened up the market for health and wellness businesses, because of their increased awareness and focus on eating and living a healthy lifestyle. In 2004 alone, Americans spent $42.8 billion dollars on natural and organic products that were part of their diet, personal care, and environmental concerns. That makes the health and wellness industry a home business with great potential if you go about it the right way.

First, decide what aspect of the industry you want to start out with. It doesn't mean you can't expand later, but it does give you a primary area to concentrate on for the start up. Surf the Net for sales statistics on your particular interests, such as herbal supplements, natural beauty products, health foods, and diet products. Try surveying co-workers and members of any groups you belong to regarding their purchase of health and wellness products.

Look at your own financial resources and decide how much you have to invest at the start. This can affect whether you decide on going solo, buying from a variety of suppliers at wholesale, and keeping stock on hand, or whether you sign up with a company that provides you with a sales kit for a given fee, and rewards you with a percentage of sales and bonuses for signing up other consultants.

The key to how you choose to go into business, can be whether you have the stamina and resources to go it alone, for everything from ordering, delivery and checking local regulations for your type of business, or whether you want to give up some autonomy for the support of an established sales network.
