Building a Successful Membership Website Just Got Easier...
You’re Just Seconds Away From The Essential Training, Advice & Support you need to Plan, Create & Grow a Profitable, Meaningful Membership
Stop Us If Any Of This Sounds Familiar...
- 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
That’s What Inspired Us To Build this Place
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 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...

Meet The Association & ACT Dental
Hi, we’re Mike Morrison and Callie Willows – otherwise known as the “Membership Geeks” (previously “The Membership Guys”) – and we’ve spent years guiding the growth of thousands of online memberships.
With a combined 20+ years in the online marketing and web development industry, and over 10 years specializing exclusively in memberships, we’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 – we have a proven track record of helping great clients to achieve fantastic results.
In 2015 we decided to take all of that knowledge and experience and create Membership Academy so that we could help entrepreneurs and small business owners just like you to achieve success with membership sites on a global scale. The Academy quickly became our full-time business and we’ve now helped over 7000 people to launch and grow their membership. And we seriously love spending our days supporting our members!


"Mike and Callie don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk. I've learned more from them 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 are they clearly leading the way, but they're doing it with professionalism and class. I can't sing their praises enough."

Real People, Real Memberships, Real Success
"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."

"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."

"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."

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
- 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
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
So, you have questions? Let us try to answer those for you...
It’s time for you to take action. Simple as that. If you really want to have a successful, profitable membership site then you need somewhere to get answers to all of your questions – especially the ones you don’t know you have yet. You need support, community, and most of all… accountability!
The Membership Academy is that place. If you really want to make a difference, the time is now.
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.
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. In fact now is the perfect time for you to join the Academy; as 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 too, to help you through your journey.
I’m afraid not! The Academy is an education based membership that provides training and resources to help you create, launch and grow a membership site. You still need to choose an external platform to create your actual site on (we recommend WordPress).
We do offer a WordPress theme to help making your membership site easier, as well as setup walkthroughs of most of the major membership plugins for WordPress.
Assuming you want to keep growing your membership site then the Academy can help you with fine tuning your member acquisition, onboarding, engagement and retention strategies; as well as supporting you with working towards your future goals. This is certainly not a “beginner only” community – far from it! We’ve helped clients grow to 7 figures and have worked with major multinationals, so there’s plenty of expertise on offer that you’re sure to benefit from in your continued growth.
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.
We don’t provide private support but we do offer weekly Office Hours where you can drop-in with any questions that you have, as well as a more formal monthly Q&A call. You can also get feedback and advice any time from within our community, both from fellow members and ourselves (we’re in the community every day!)
We know you will LOVE the Membership Academy, however, if for whatever reason you’re not 100% satisfied in any way we have a 30 day money back guarantee (no questions asked). We want you to succeed, and know that if you become a member of the Membership Academy and really put your heart and soul into it… you will see amazing results!
Obviously we’d love it if all of our members stuck around forever – but we’ve worked with membership sites for long enough to know that that’s never going to happen! So, if you do decide to cancel obviously we’ll be very sad, but you’ll be able to do so with just a few clicks from within your account page.
Once cancelled you’ll retain access to the site for any remaining time paid for, after which you’ll lose access to all of the content, community and live sessions.
Yes! The majority of the content in the Academy is not tech based at all and instead focuses on important topics such as growth strategy, member retention, attracting new members and more. All these topics are far more important for membership site success than what tech is used!
While our tech walkthroughs do focus mostly on WordPress, we do also have trainings on other options like Kajabi and Simplero too. And we have members using all kinds of different tech in the community.
