You have a great idea for a membership site, but don't know where to start and how to turn that into an actionable plan...
You've spent countless hours trying to build your membership website, and you're sick of the frustration of wrestling with code & battling tech gremlins...
Your membership site is up and running but it's not going as well as you'd like, and you're out of ideas for how to attract (and keep) members...
You’re struggling to stay on top of the seemingly endless list of tasks you need to handle, and you’re not enjoying running your membership
If it does, then you already know what a minefield it can be trying to get quality advice & support
We were fed up with hearing stories about good people with a great idea, just like you, being left stuck and let down in their pursuit of membership site success, thanks to:
Sleazy Internet Marketers who promise the world but deliver very little once they have their hands on your cash...
Overly technical tutorials that bore you to death with the mind-numbing mechanics of building a membership site, and don't say a thing about strategy or marketing...
Over-priced courses and coaching that make big claims about helping you be successful... just as long as you already have a huge email list and a massive advertising budget...
Thankfully, all of that is behind you...

I'm the founder of Membership Academy and "Membership Geeks" (previously “The Membership Guys”) - and I’ve spent more than a decade guiding the growth of thousands of online memberships.
With more than 20+ years in the online marketing and web development industry, and over 10 years specializing exclusively in memberships, I've been the driving force behind a multitude of 6, 7 and even 8 figure membership businesses in a diverse range of industries - from weight loss to coaching to executive training to bass guitar - building up have a proven track record of helping great clients to achieve fantastic results.
In 2015 I decided to take all of that knowledge and experience and create Membership Academy so that I could help entrepreneurs and small business owners just like you to achieve success with membership sites on a global scale. The Academy has now helped over 10,000 people to launch and grow their membership. And I seriously love spending my days supporting my members!
"Mike doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. I've learned more from Mike on the subject of running and building a successful membership site in the last 12 months than I have anywhere else. Ever. Period! Not only is clearly leading the way, but he's doing it with professionalism and class. I can't sing his praises enough."

Membership Academy is NOT for everyone, and truth be told we’d prefer to help you figure out if it’s not right for you BEFORE you join rather than waste your time. So, let’s cut to the chase...
Small business owners who want to get out of the time for money trap and start generating recurring revenue as an addition to or instead of their existing business
Existing membership site owners who want to improve their growth and member management and take their membership to the next level
People who haven’t built a business before but who are looking for the increased freedom and income a membership can provide - and are willing to put time and energy into making their membership dreams a reality.
Action takers who aren’t just going to watch some training videos and never implement. We provide the training and resources, but you still need to do the work!
Entrepreneurs who have an existing audience and want to better leverage their time and knowledge, whilst helping more people, by creating a membership site
People looking for a get rich quick solution - if you think a membership site is going to make you rich overnight, we’re not the right choice for you!
Idea chasers - if you’re constantly chasing the next idea and never getting anything off the ground, this isn’t a fit for you. A membership site takes commitment and focus.
Anyone looking for a quick fix or not willing to dedicate time to a membership site. Memberships take time and effort to create and manage.
Someone who is looking for a done for you tech solution. We’re not a membership platform, we're not software, and we don't build your membership for you!
People expecting guaranteed results - we know what we teach works (because we’re doing it ourselves) but we can’t guarantee specific results from following our advice. I hate to break it to you, but no one can make that promise!
It might seem strange, us trying to talk you OUT of becoming a member - but truly if the Academy is not the right fit then neither of us benefit. We have a vested interest in your success (you won’t stick around long if we’re not helping, right?) - and that all starts by making sure the Academy is right for you before you join.
So, you have questions? Let us try to answer those for you...
If there's anything at all that you're not certain about, anything we haven't made clear; any concerns or questions then please do contact us at support@membershipacademy.com and we'll help you out.
