Wherever you’re starting from

Big idea, no plan.
Or a membership
that’s stopped growing.

Two very different starting points, one shared problem: you’re guessing. Guessing at your idea, at pricing, at content, at why people cancel, at what to fix first.

And guesswork is expensive either way - months lost building the wrong thing, launches that underperform, members who quietly leave, evenings swallowed by a business that was supposed to give you freedom.

You have a great idea, but no clear plan for turning it into a real, revenue-generating business
You’ve launched, but growth has plateaued - and you’re out of ideas for attracting and keeping members
Members join, then drift, go quiet, or cancel - and churn is quickly eating your growth
You’re drowning in the day-to-day, and even worse - you’ve stopped enjoying it
Why the Academy exists

That’s what inspired us
to build this place

We were fed up with hearing stories about good people with a great business, just like you, being left stuck and let down in their pursuit of membership 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 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 succeed… as long as you already have a huge email list and a massive ad budget…

Thankfully, all of that is behind you.

The Membership Roadmap

Your Complete Path From First Idea to Thriving Membership

The Membership Roadmap is our signature step-by-step programme covering the entire membership journey - 16 stages across two phases. Launch takes you from first idea to open doors; Growth turns an established membership into a thriving one. Every stage combines focused training, workbooks and resources built to be actioned - no drip-feeding, no watching-and-forgetting.

The journey starts here Doors open, members in →
Pick up from where you are An established, thriving membership →
Launch phase
From idea to open doors - without the guesswork

Validate your idea with real market research, build an audience that’s ready to join, price with confidence, and launch with a proper plan - not crossed fingers. 8 stages of focused training, workbooks and templates - plus optional pitstops for the parts of your build that need extra help.

Start your launch →
Find out what people will actually pay for - before you create anything
Build an audience of future members while you create your content
Pricing and packaging you never have to second-guess
A launch plan with workbooks and templates for every step
Growth phase
Members who stay. A truly scalable business.

The Growth phase is where established memberships level up: sales that grow, onboarding that lands, engagement that lasts, cancellations cut - and the systems that give you your life back. 8 stages of focused training, workbooks and resources - plus optional deep dives from our wider training library when you need to go further.

Accelerate your growth →
Simple, repeatable systems for bringing in new members - without the constant grind
Onboarding and engagement that turn joiners into stayers
Find and fix the leaks quietly eating your growth
Systems, processes and delegation - so it stops running you

Hey, I’m Mike Morrison

I don’t just teach this. I live it.

For 20+ years I’ve worked in online marketing, and for more than a decade I’ve specialised exclusively in memberships - the driving force behind 6, 7 and even 8-figure membership businesses in just about every industry you can think of.

I’m a best-selling author and host of the industry’s leading (and award-winning) membership podcast. But most of my time? I spend it inside the Academy, working directly with our members. It’s genuinely my favourite part of the job.

Let’s get real

Is the Academy
right for you?

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…

The Academy is for
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
It’s not for
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 isn’t the right fit then neither of us benefit. We have a vested interest in your success, and that starts with making sure the Academy is right for you before you join.

Your Membership Won’t Grow Itself. Let’s Get to Work.

Questions, answered

So, you have questions? Let us try to answer those for you…

I’m still at square one with my membership - is the Academy right for me?+
Absolutely - the Academy covers every stage of planning, creating and growing a membership site, from the very start where you just have an idea and nothing more. Not only do we have training that will take you through every step, but you’ll also be able to get support and advice from within the community to help you through your journey.
I’ve already launched my membership - is the Academy still right for me?+
Absolutely - assuming you want to keep growing, the Academy will help you fine-tune your member acquisition, onboarding, engagement and retention strategies, and support you in working towards your future goals. This is certainly not a “beginner only” community - far from it. We’ve helped memberships grow to 7 figures and worked with major multinationals, so there’s plenty of expertise on offer for your continued growth.
What kind of membership is the Academy suitable for?+
We focus on online training and community based membership sites (like the Academy itself) and this is the kind of site that the majority of our members are looking to run. That said, much of our content is relevant to other types of membership, and we do have members who apply what we teach to other models.
Why join today instead of waiting?+
Honestly? Because waiting has a cost. If members are cancelling this month, that’s revenue you don’t get back - and if you’re stuck pre-launch, every month of hesitation is a month of recurring income that never starts. The Academy is $79 a month. One saved member, or one better launch decision, covers it. If it turns out we’re not right for you, the 14-day guarantee means you’ve risked nothing but an afternoon.
What’s on the Membership Roadmap?+
16 structured stages across two phases. The Launch phase takes you from idea and market research through audience, pricing, content and tech to a successful launch. The Growth phase covers selling more memberships, onboarding, engagement, reducing cancellations, productivity, and the systems and processes to run everything without burning out. You start at whichever stage matches where you are.
Does the Academy provide a platform? What if I’m not using WordPress?+
The Academy is an education based membership - we’re not a platform, so you’ll still need somewhere to build your actual site (we recommend WordPress, and members get our Memberoni theme free). Not on WordPress? No problem - the majority of our content isn’t tech based at all, focusing instead on strategy, retention and growth, and we have members using all kinds of platforms. We also have walkthroughs for options like Kajabi and Simplero.
Is all of the content available straight away or is it drip fed?+
You get access to everything already inside the Academy straight away! No waiting for content to be released to you, just jump in and start making use of the training straight away. We regularly update and add new material too - so your content library will continue growing.
Can I get one-on-one help and support?+
We offer direct access to our support via a private forum where we’ll answer your questions, and the Pick Our Brains feature where you can ask us a question and we’ll send a video reply directly to your email inbox.
Do you offer a trial so I can test it out?+
The guarantee IS the trial. Join, spend up to 14 days inside with full access to absolutely everything, and if it’s not for you we’ll refund you - no questions asked. You can also get a good feel for the membership with our behind the scenes video: membershipacademy.com/behind-the-scenes
What if I don’t enjoy it? What happens if I cancel?+
If you’re not 100% satisfied in your first 14 days, our money back guarantee applies - no questions asked. Beyond that, you can cancel - or pause - your membership anytime with a couple of clicks from your account page. No emails, no hoops. Once cancelled you’ll retain access for any remaining time you’ve paid for.
I’m only interested in the Memberoni theme - what happens if I cancel? Can I buy it on its own?+
The Memberoni theme will continue working if you’re no longer an active member, however support and regular theme updates are only available to members with an active subscription. Memberoni is not available for standalone purchase.

If there’s anything at all that you’re not certain about, any concerns or questions, email us at support@membershipacademy.com and we’ll help you out.

14 day money back guarantee

14 day no-questions-asked
money back guarantee

When you join Membership Academy you are fully protected by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you don’t feel like you’ve received value and you decide you want to cancel any time within the next 14 days, just let us know and we’ll send you a prompt refund. No hassles, headaches or hoops to jump through.

We’re confident you’ll find the Academy useful, and we won’t make you beg or invoke any silly rules or conditions - if you’re not satisfied within your first 14 days, we’ll refund you without any fuss.

Stop guessing.
Start growing.
