YOLO MAG Editorial Policy
What we publish reflects our core values: authenticity, credibility, inspiration over aspiration, innovation, and compassion.
We don’t chase hot air. Instead, we strive to create content rooted in integrity and purpose, with wellness as the through line across our platform.
You will find credible sources and expert insights woven into the fabric of our content.
In our books, progress always trumps perfection. Wellness is a personal path, and we’re here to support it, not prescribe it.
Emerging wellness trends, cutting-edge science, and zesty ideas that push the norm are YOLO MAG’s passion.
Wellness looks different for everyone; it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach, and we understand this. We always strive to write with compassion and positivity so that you can feel empowered after spending time on YOLO MAG.
Content Standards
YOLO MAG is committed to producing high-quality content that you can trust. Our team ensures editorial content is as original as possible, free from plagiarism and misleading claims, accurate, supported by reputable sources, and insightful. YOLO MAG will always maintain a wellness-first ethos, with research being at the core of it all.
We do not accept or promote discriminatory, inflammatory, or harmful content. This is also true for content that offers medical advice without being fact-checked by experts, or purely promotional pieces with no relevance or value to our audience.
Sustainability & Ethics
We have high regard for content that highlights eco-conscious travel, sustainable beauty, and mindful consumerism. Any gifts, press trips, or affiliations that could influence our content will be disclosed. YOLO MAG will also only endorse products and experiences we wholeheartedly believe in.
Corrections & Transparency
We’re all human here. If we make an error, we hold ourselves accountable for it. This means we investigate the issue promptly, we make factual corrections transparently, noting the change clearly on the article, and we learn from our mistakes, adjusting our process to avoid doing so again in the future.
Sponsored Content
Our values always come first; if brands do not align with them, we’re not interested in collaborations. Firstly, all sponsored content will be clearly labelled as ‘sponsored’, or ‘in partnershipwith’, etc. Secondly, content will also be approved by our editorial team to ensure values are shared between brands. Lastly, this type of content will be distinct from our editorial content because, ultimately, advertisers do not dictate our opinions.
User Generated Content & Community
YOLO MAG is always open to community contributions – whether it’s a first-person story, a photo essay, or a trip shared on social. However, all user submissions are moderated and must: adhere to our editorial guidelines, feature originality and be non-promotional in tone, and must not feature any hate speech whatsoever, misinformation, or graphic content. YOLO MAG reserves the right to edit, reject, or remove content that does not adhere to these standards.
Please note that while we value your contributions, we are not open to any pitches or submissions at the moment. Once we are, we will update this page as well as the ‘Write for Us’ page. Soon, we’ll be handing the mic to you. What does living well mean in your world? We can’t wait to find out.
