Free Membership in the Natural Lifestyle Network

Anyone can register for a free membership, but not everyone qualifies to create a free profile (please see the qualifications below). With a free membership, you can create free events and build your own personal profile directory and events calendar within your My Account page to track your favorite profiles and events.

Note: You do NOT need any membership to search and use this website, including using the Directory, Events Calendar, Learn, Help--or to receive the Newsletter.

Who is Eligible to Create a Free Profile?

Service providers in a natural lifestyle field.
This includes individuals, businesses or organizations providing a service related to living a holistic, sustainable or socially conscious lifestyle. Certain types of services are not appropriate for this website and therefore may not be accepted for a profile including, but not limited to, plastic surgery; cosmetic dentistry; churches with strict dogma or beliefs (religion vs. spirituality); groups with unusually restrictive or exclusive memberships; highly unusual or explicitly sexual practices; or any business, group or service not generally considered “natural,” “holistic,” ”sustainable,” or “socially conscious.” Profiles cannot be used by individuals for personal or social networking purposes and no objectionable language or profanity may be used.

Natural Lifestyle Network Profiles are for Services, not Products: Natural Lifestyle does not accept specific product listings as Profiles in our Resource Directory. We’ve chosen to focus exclusively on service providers. For example, a Profile for a specific vitamin supplement or type of solar panel would not quality, but a health food or sustainable products retail store would. Service providers who have products for sale may describe them within their profiles and provide a link to their personal websites for sales. There are other ways you can participate with Natural Lifestyle if you have products to share.
- Buy a banner ad on our website. See Advertise for details.
- Sponsor an edition of our newsletter. See Advertise for details.

How will Natural Lifestyle promote this website to the public?

Our goal is to publicize this website to reach as many conscious consumers as possible. We want them to know they have a credible resource they can rely on to find the best choices for whatever services they might need—now or in the future. Our Newsletter lets us keep in touch and brings them back to the site as well.

A priority for promotion will be utilizing the major internet search websites, including powerful professional search engine optimization (SEO) strategies, a focus on local and regional internet marketing, paid/sponsored links and banners on important related websites etc.

We’ll also be collaborating with like-minded groups and seeking feature opportunities with regional media. We anticipate utilizing radio ads and having a presence at all major expos and regional events, as well as many other channels for communication and promotion.

We will be actively and creatively marketing the Natural Lifestyle website to the fast growing audience demographic identified as LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health & Sustainability), currently estimated as numbering well over 50 million U.S. adults.

Your business is located outside the regions NLN currently covers--can you join?

"My business isn't located within the six states (VA-DC-MD-DE-PA-NJ) NLN currently states it covers--can I still create a Profile?" Yes, you certainly can. With our search engine optimization strategies, search engines will find your profile anyway.

Are you a national or multiple region service provider?

The Natural Lifestyle Network will be offering a “National Advertiser” category soon for businesses or groups needing to reach consumers in multiple regions or areas. Look for this option and more details coming soon. Your Profile will appear every time a particular category is chosen for searching, no matter what zipcode is entered. Let us know if you’re interested in this option and we’ll notify you with the details when it’s available. Obviously, the cost will be higher.
