Real People, Real Memberships, Real Success

“Just seeing how you're doing things with your membership site has inspired me to make many positive changes to my own. The course videos are also incredibly helpful, as is the member forum (with direct support from you both). The additional time that you have both given to help with ideas is much appreciated”

Mark Warner

“I feel like I have a pair of mentors as I navigate the challenges of building my membership and starting my business. And the collective knowledge and help from fellow community members just adds to the tremendous value Membership Academy already is!”

Kevin Cheng

“You have saved me many hours of grief, saved me from missing out on important things I need to be doing that I didn't even know about and have rescued me when I've been overwhelmed and confused. You've helped me with things that probably seem small to you, but have been huge for me. My membership paid for itself within a few hours of joining.”

“We just closed the doors on our small beta launch to 260 people and instantly turned it into a $20k a year business. The content and community inside Membership Academy made this launch much easier!”

Nigel Moore

“If you’re looking for the real deal these guys are it. They’ve helped me turn what was a 5 figure business into a 7 figure business… In under 12 months! If you’re trying to push your business to the next level then you simply can’t survive or grow without the sort of guidance and industry knowledge they bring to the table.”

Scott Devine

“Membership Academy was a total game-changer and gave me everything I needed to transition to the online membership world - the strategy, the technical guidance, the encouragement and the small details that make a good membership site great. I launched my new membership, and in one week it went from zero to over 1,200 paying members. The Academy played a HUGE role in that success. If you want to follow a proven path and stop spinning your wheels, then MSA is the BEST choice you can make.”

Not Sure if Membership Academy is 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...

Who the Academy is For

Entrepreneurs who have an existing audience and want to better leverage their time and knowledge, whilst helping more people, by creating a membership site

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!

Who the Academy is 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 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.
