How We Work
How a FlyJanuary.org Guide Gets Made
Four steps behind every article — no recycled listicles, no guesswork.
- 01
Start with a real question
Every article begins with something readers actually ask — how much to save, how to make a habit stick, when to book.
- 02
Research the primary sources
Money rules from GOV.UK and MoneyHelper, health guidance from the NHS, history from reputable references.
- 03
Write it plainly
Worked examples, tables and checklists instead of jargon — so you can act on it the same day.
- 04
Review and keep it current
Each guide is edited before it goes live, dated, and revisited when the facts change.
Good To Know
About FlyJanuary.org
The questions readers ask us most. Anything else? Get in touch — a real person reads every message.
What is FlyJanuary.org?
FlyJanuary.org is an independent lifestyle, personal finance and general-interest blog. We publish practical guides to money, habits, home, wellbeing and travel, plus longer reads on history, books and culture. The name comes from January — the month most people decide to start again — and the site is about making that fresh start work in any month.
Is the money content on FlyJanuary.org financial advice?
No. Our finance articles are general information and education. We explain how budgets, savings, debt repayment and investing basics work, with worked examples, but we do not know your circumstances and are not regulated financial advisers. For decisions about your own money, speak to a qualified, regulated adviser or a free service such as MoneyHelper.
How do you choose what to write about?
We start from the questions readers actually ask — how much to keep in an emergency fund, how to make a habit stick, when to book a flight — and write the answer we would want to find. Every article is researched against primary or official sources and reviewed before it is published.
Are articles sponsored or paid for?
Editorial content is never paid for. If we ever publish a sponsored post or use an affiliate link, it will be clearly labelled at the top of the page. Read our editorial guidelines for the full policy.
Can I write for FlyJanuary.org?
Yes. We welcome pitches for original, useful articles in personal finance, lifestyle, wellness, travel and general interest. See our write for us page for what we look for and how to pitch.
How often do you publish?
We publish new guides every week and update older ones when the facts change. Each article shows the date it was first published and when it was last reviewed. Subscribe to the newsletter or the RSS feed to get new posts as they go live.
