What is Gaia Pro?
Imagine participating in a 24/7 online LOHAS Conference or Green Expo, where you get not just a 'booth' to advertise the basics of your business, but the opportunity to communicate and share your expertise with new (and established!) customers and clients.
A Gaia Pro subscription gives you a professional presence within the Gaia Community—and the means to reach hundreds of thousands of seekers.
Gaia Pro members get an interactive page in our thriving online directory of socially, environmentally, and spiritually aware businesses—on a site that’s already home to thousands of individuals passionate about building a better future.
Your sleek Pro page lets you:
Gaia Pro. Where conscious business lives!
Launching later this week.

Oooooo, I like the graphic!
I'm sold! ;)
hey ~D its been since when ever we chatted… i would love to keep my pro page n pay for a year to get discount n i like the way its now but wonna no what else can be there n how interactive page if u have a link i can check it out… LOVE uuu ^.^
So when is this going to happen?
I would like to get more detailed information on this as well.
As I need help with the computer side.
Will it be easy , and user friendly?
I have more question too….
Hi guys,
We just released the “soft” launch last week. We're still working out a few tweaks but it's getting close to being complete. You can actually sign up now if you click here, although if you want the full effect without a few remaining bugs, I recommen waiting a couple of days.
Princess, the current Pro pages aren't staying for much longer. The version that was just released is the new “Pro” and is based on the feedback we received over the last year. It will evolve in the coming weeks and months.
Authentic Soul, It is very easy. Here's an example of what it currently looks like.
Dave T (Aka Ninja) can answer any specific questions.
Thanks,
David
Thanks David , You guys , are doing amazing things around here!
A.S.
So maybe I am playing around with a buggy, unfinished site but I have a few questions.
What is the difference offered between the Gaia Pro site and the “just the basics” free version? I tried to sign up for the “just the basics” and noticed that my website link doesn't display. Ouch. Is that a bug or was that intended?
You have a mandatory street address field. I work out of my home, and conduct my business over the internet and telephone. I would rather not post my home address. Can you consider making that field optional or optionally displayed? Then just the city would show on the google map.
I miss being able to upload my logo and portfolio images to the site. I noticed that you have a photo on your sample site. Is this a feature that is coming? or a bug that is yet to be worked out?
I am happy that the business and personal sites are more separate. It is nice to have my personal blog removed from the Pro page.
Thanks for all your work behind this.
Peace,
Kathryn
Hey sengmo, thanks for the questions.
Linking to your webste is currently a premium feature which is part of Gaia Pro. Here is a Gaia Pro site, and here is a free listing.
Yes, right now we have a mandatory address field since the tool is most intended as a way to support local business, and people need to search by address. I understand whole heartedly that mobile business is on the rise (my wife for example is a graphic designer and works from home), and we are planning on implimenting 'virtual' businesses as well as international businesses. One thing at a time… :)
Thanks again for the question, and for the feedback- always appreciated, sengmo. :)
hey guys…
i know we chatted via email i just wonna say that i really miss zPro…
i miss the vision of getting zPro even more with our own backgrounds n custom pages n what we had at the beginning with WIE, II and couple of more pages… it was uniquie, functional, professional n so appealing…
now our pages r half covered with other stuff (just GAIA banner and all those gaia tabs r like half a page on some computers and with adds (which i love btw) but still ppl miss even seeing our page unless they start scrolling down…
n im not even talking of newsletter that took me before like half a day to do it now like 2 months (ok ive been reasearching trying to find somehting that suites me but still)… n of course our own communities within communites…
all these where such great ideas that seamed to be all washed away now and i completly understand a process of getting an idea to manifestation so trust me i'll buy all ur excuses but still felt sharing what i feel as this place is a place where we can meet each other (like minded ppl into spiritually) and no where else we can do that so i feel would be cool if we can make it more like our own home with personal touch (im taling about zPro type of customization)…
well thats my 2c :)
love always ^.^
