LovingNow – all about relationships
To accommodate the upsurge in interest by our readers in relationships, we now have a regular dedicated magazine issue – LovingNow. Here you''ll find articles discussing love, sex, sexuality, fertility, parenting, conflict resolution and relationship styles, as well as relationship with self, with others and with the community.
Our readers
LivingNow speaks to the largest group of progressive/alternative thinkers in Australia. It fits the profile of the LOHAS niche and Cultural Creatives (25% to 30% of the population in a US based survey) in that they are aware of & concerned about environmental, social & economic issues, pursue psychological & spiritual development, seek to maintain & grow relationships, are optimistic about the future, & seek new experiences & learning about alternative ways of living.
Our readers are hungry for information on health & wellness – encompassing food, organics, supplements, herbs, superfoods & natural skincare & beauty. They are also keen to find out about healing modalities to nurture themselves & their families.
Cultural Creatives present a great marketing opportunity. They are well educated and widely read, and their highly informed levels of social & global concern play key roles in their purchasing decisions.
Our surveys tell us that 95% of our readers read the ads as well as the stories!

What our advertisers say
This was the first time LivingNow readers had been exposed to the zk’in brand; so we weren’t sure what to expect. To our amazement we had the best uptake of any campaign we have ever conducted! These are real customers, looking for quality health & beauty products. The LivingNow campaign was by far the easiest marketing/advertising campaign I have ever had to conduct, with the greatest return on investment. Thank you for providing a space that health conscious consumers view as a trusted source and safe haven.

Most of the people enrolled for my August Chi Cycle Health Retreat in Bali heard of it through LivingNow. Interestingly, over half were men: burned-out success types, including property developers, & the women were mainly high-achieving business people too. They were all needing to change their lives & looking to LivingNow for advice ... and in the end we had too many wanting to enrol.

Thanks to your magazine & your encouragement of us to chase a dream we had of starting a new business, in something totally new, in an arena where there was no formal training available, our dream has become a reality. Our students to this point in time are all coming from the ads we have run in your magazine. They were all so happy & reassured by reading this statement on our website: “Here’s your opportunity to enrol in what LivingNow magazine describe as one of “six life-changing courses, from some of the best training institutions in Australia.” LivingNow magazine. We so APPRECIATE YOU & YOUR BEAUTIFUL TEAM in supporting us to create a new life so we can help millions who are living a lesser life than the one they really want to be living, where thriving & freedom is their norm.

We have been publishing for over three decades and during this time have built a loyal and enthusiastic following. We get high praise from our readers; indeed some point out the life-changing articles they've read. This is an inspiration for us to continue to do what we do.
I use it as a reference point on further research for courses, workshops & issues that are topical & relevant to me as a complementary health practitioner.

What is the difference between a sponsored post and a regular article?
Regular articles are contributions from an author that are written to provide a 'gift' to the reader, free from explicit commercial promotion. In other words, the reader will benefit from the content without having to pay or subscribe to anything. Authors do however receive kudos from their contribution, and indirectly benefit from 'getting their name out there'.
A sponsored post may - and ideally should - provide useful information to the reader, however the sponsor is entitled to add a commercial message.
Regular articles are provided to LivingNow freely, sponsored posts are published for a specified fee.
