The Health and Wellness Industry has offered many passive income enthusiasts a great way to earn and be financially independent. The marriage of the good old “direct selling” and “network marketing” strategies with internet and e-commerce have given tremendous revenue potential to those who seek and embrace its opportunities.
The idea of succeeding in the Wellness business (Health, Nutritionals) is based on the fact that it has become a booming industry, with over USD200 billion in sales potential, and is expected to reach USD1 Trillion in the next 2 years.
Is there a Market for Health and Wellness Products?
The so called “Baby Boomers“, or those who were born between 1946 and 1964 are the number one market for the Health and Nutritional products. These people have the money to spend, and the necessity to stay healthy, fit and live longer.

The deal is off - no more Pacquiao vs. Hatton fight on May, 2009. I still like to believe the deal still has some chances to succeed, after all, we boxing fans of the world, want a great boxing match between two great fighters who are “hungry for honors”.
Or, are boxers these days hungry for more money? It seems the Pacquiao-Hatton slug fest won’t push through because of only one reason - no obviously not about honor, recognition, championship belt - but money.
Before, boxing fights are negotiated between promoters, but these days, boxers themselves dictate the terms. A positive development, I should say, since boxers should get a bigger share and earn more than promoters and businessmen. But there is a danger of fights not happening if a boxer feels that money is not worth every punch that lands on his face.

When I woke up this morning, my senses told me to check out where to watch the Obama Inauguration online live. And the internet is full of Obama articles.
Obama ruled the blogosphere today. Even Pinoy blogosphere is full of Obama stuffs: online streaming links, Obama inauguration schedules, Obama Inaugural preparations, Obama inauguration videos, Obama inauguration speech.
Even the morning news on TV was reporting about Obama. For a change, I tuned in to an AM radio station and the news and commentaries were also mostly about Obama.
Never in history that an inauguration of a US President, or the US President-elect himself received such a worldwide attention as Barack Obama is enjoying. Could Obama’s inauguration become the most watched event this year? Others are saying it could even surpass the Super Bowl, where close to 100 million people tuned in to watch.
How many people will watch the Obama inauguration worldwide? 100 million viewers? This one is a worldwide event. The Bejing Olympics Opening Ceremony attracted more than 2 billion viewers worldwide. The Football World Cup in Germany in 2006 had an average of 1.2 billion viewers per match. In 1981, the TV coverage of Prince Charles - Diana wedding attracted a worldwide TV audience of 750 Million. Princess Diana’s funeral was watched by about 2.5 billion worldwide.
And we are only talking about TV.
Technology has improved a lot in recent years that it is expected millions of people will also be watching the Obama Inauguration online through streaming media and on mobile phones. Imagine all the money earned by Publishers, Traditional and Internet Media companies from those millions of viewers.
Sure its more than the estimated USD160 million cost of the Obama Inaugural - expected to be the most expensive inaugural in US history. Or is it still Bush who holds the record?
Even Obama look-alikes are everywhere. Read the rest of this entry »
Watch Obama’s inauguration live via online streaming. No doubt, Obama will be the first US President whose inauguration will be watched by hundreds of millions of people around the world using the fusion of traditional media, live tv global broadcast and live internet feed/online streaming.
By the time I wake up in the morning Manila time, the inauguration ceremonies would have started and by the time I’ll get to the office, I’m hoping I could still watch Barack Obama’s inauguration online via the live stream below. (Darn! I can’t seem to make the embed codes to work here opps! It’s working now! - LOL).
Update on Obama’s Inauguration time/schedule:
Barack Obama’s swearing-in ceremony starts at 11:30 a.m. EST (US Eastern Standard Time), on January 20, 2009, and the actual swearing-in should be at around noon. That’s about 13 hours time difference, so if Obama delivers his Inaugural Speech at around 12:00nn on January 20, 2009, that’s 1:00am January 21, 2009 Philippine time.

Planning to run a government post in 2010 Elections? Then first, according to the Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, you need to have the 3 most important things: first - money, second - money, and third - money.
That’s a lot of money every candidate needs in order to win in the Philippine elections. And he needs enough money to give himself an armored vehicle too.
Recently, orders are up for armored vehicles from several politicians and aspirants in preparation for the 2010 elections. Most of them are saying having an armored vehicle is a must.
Armoring a front portion of a standard-sized SUV costs about USD7,500.00 - almost enough to buy you a good second-hand car. Full vehicle armoring could well cost between USD40,000 to USD80,000, depending on the size of the car or vehicle.
