Choose your member type, including Artist / Author / Influencer

When you create an account, the first question is What type of member are you? Every type creates the same free account with the same plans; the type only decides whether we ask where you are and whether we start a directory listing for you.

The five types

1. Individual: Join to find churches, events, groups and help. Nothing extra to fill in.
2. Artist / Author / Influencer: You make music, books, art or content. Nothing extra to fill in, and no listing is started.
3. Business owner: You own or run a business. You give a Street address, a Zip code, or both.
4. Business: Sign up your business and start its listing. You give a location and the Business or practice name.
5. Coach: Life, ministry, business or wellness coach. Same as Business: a location and a name.

Sign up

1. Go to /join. It opens the Create account tab.
2. Choose your type under What type of member are you?
3. If asked, enter a street address or a 5-digit zip code. For a business or coach, also enter the business or practice name.
4. Fill in your name, email and password, confirm your birth year, and click Create account. See Create an account for the rest.

For a business or coach, we start a draft listing for you to finish after you sign in. Nothing is published until you finish it.

For artists, authors and influencers

The Artist / Author / Influencer type is a personal account, like Individual. A few things are useful for your work:

• With AI Concierge or Leadership you get a public profile at christian.com/yourname, where you can add YouTube or Vimeo videos that play on the page, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Apple Music or SoundCloud audio, a featured post, a photo gallery and links to your publications and sites. See Publish your profile page.
• To sell books, music or downloads, or to run a page for a band, imprint or ministry, set up an organization at /list-your-organization.

Good to know

• The type doesn't change what you can do or what anything costs. You can still list an organization later whatever type you picked.
• A zip code must be a 5-digit US zip code.
