Are you trying to find the right platform to build your WordPress membership site? Or thinking about migrating to a new membership platform?
The online businesses in this article might help you out in the decision-making process. Right now, each one is running a successful WordPress membership site with MemberPress.
So you just might’ve found your platform!
MemberPress is the world’s #1 monetization, LMS, and membership plugin for WordPress. Today, tens of thousands of businesses all over the globe use it to monetize their websites.
With MemberPress you can…
- Monetize your WordPress site through multiple recurring revenue streams
- Create and manage a membership site
- Add memberships and subscriptions to your existing WordPress website
With super easy setup and simple site migration, MemberPress is fueling the creator economy – a software-driven economy where entrepreneurs are making a killing monetizing their ideas.
Creators particularly appreciate that MemberPress charges zero third-party fees. That means, unlike businesses on Patreon and Substack, MemberPress sites are scalable.
But what, exactly, do MemberPress sites look like?
Glad you asked.
For each website on our list, we included a site link and a short overview. We also added a basic description of how each business is using MemberPress to boost its bottom line.
We’re super excited to show you just how versatile the MemberPress WordPress plugin is. But before we get to the list, let’s go over what we mean when we say “monetized” or “membership” site.
What is a “Membership Site” or “Monetized Site”?
The concept is pretty simple.
A website that requires users to sign up for access to “protected content” is considered a membership or monetized site. This signup function is often referred to as a paywall or content gate.
The functionality can go a couple of ways:
- A free membership site offers gated content for free.
- A monetized membership site offers at least some gated content for a fee. (In many cases, monetized sites are a combination of free and paid content.)
For example, consider an online women’s clothing store that has a VIP community. Anyone can shop on the site without an account.
But if someone signs up for the VIP community, they get special sale alerts, discounts, and a regular newsletter.
Because the store has a VIP community (protected content) and requires signup, we’d call it a membership site.
The exclusive community could be free (requiring only an email address), or it could be offered for a fee. Either way, it’s a membership component.
In addition to private communities, protected content can include all kinds of things:
| Subscriptions | Videos | Podcasts |
| Physical products | Ebooks | Audio content |
| Digital products | White papers | Communities, forums, clubs |
| Blog posts | Online courses | Virtual conferences |
| Images | Coaching sessions | Anything else you can imagine! |
So, some sites are hybrids. These sites offer a membership component alongside physical or digital products, like the clothing store with a VIP community.
Whereas other sites are built solely around memberships. The MemberPress-based online Pilates school, Pilatesology, is a good example.
Now that you’ve got a better understanding of what a membership site is, it’s time to dive into our list of awesome examples.
NOTE: The list is organized by site type. You can use the table of contents above to find different types and to jump around between sections.

Hi Syble. I’m in love with these collations. This is impressive. Well done!
Kudos to all at memberpress, there’s a huge amount of high profile member sites on this list. Im hoping one day one of mine will get featured! Great work to all involved, excellent contributions from the community too! Love it!
Hey Justin 😀 Thanks so much for your feedback. We’d love to check out your website!
What a comprehensive article! It really shows the versatility of the Memberpress offering.
These are great examples. We just launched our membership website and I created one for a client. Great software.
Love these examples. Thanks for sharing! I’m using MemberPress at my membership site called the MarCom Society, a community for K12 School Marketing and Communications Professionals: https://marcomsociety.org/.
That’s awesome, Brendan! Thanks for sharing! I’m adding your site to the list 🙂
Innovation and Creativity
Wow, what a throught out, well researched article! I like all the different industries 🙂 Personally, I use it for my membership for Nurses who want to build their own profitable writing businesses. Who would have ever thought that was a ‘thing’? 🙂
Great way to niche it down, Janine! Awesome 😀
This is great Syble, must have been some work collecting all these profiles! I’m so happy that I went with Memberpress when we created our membership site. It is hands down the best solution out there and I just really, really want to acknowledge your customer service as well. I get the feeling that each customer service agent is tech-savvy and they know how to help with advanced stuff too.
Thanks so much for sharing, Viktor! We appreciate the encouragement!
Thanks for sharing! I’m involved in the health and fitness industry and got some good ideas from two of the examples cited here.
Holy moly! This article was so helpful on getting ideas. I am bookmarking this.
We switched to Memberpress a few months ago for our financial education and organizing community, and am glad we did. I was struggling to assemble the community before, but since June, everything I’ve envisioned is working great. Tech support is first rate as well!
I’ve found MemberPress to be incredibly versatile – only once I started using it that I realised the breadth of use cases. Thanks for making a great product MemberPress!
MemberPress is such a great plugin. I love seeing how other users have employed it! It’s great to be in such good company.
We use memberpress since 3 yrs on our web site to sell subscription. It’s very easy to integrate and get people onboard! Excellent tool!
I’ve used MemberPress to power two Los Angeles-based composer organizations, the Society of Composers & Lyricists (thescl.com) and the Academy of Scoring Arts (scoringarts.com). It’s been a solid easy-to-use platform that has greatly increased our ability to serve our members and grow our organizations.
These sites are awesome! I’ve got them in the queue to be added to the listicle 🙂
Amazing, these are really helpful for inspiration. It can be hard in the early stages to think of how to create a membership site, or add it to an existing one. These examples provide plenty of opportunities to see what others are doing. Thanks for providing them!
I like how Miller Johnson Attorneys uses MemberPress to protect and manage their Resource Center for clients. Could be very powerful with member only livestreams or consult discounts (when logged in).
We agree! It’s so interesting to see the creative ways our creators are using the plugin.
Thank you Syble for taking the time and writing this in-depth article. The fact that this is categorized into different categories makes it easy to get to the relevant section I want.
I am evaluating different options for a client site and your example of Copy Hacker by Joenna Wiebe is something exactly I was looking at. Thanks again.
Really nice and thoughtful pages, very inspiring. Especially for those who are starting out building a website, a lot of ideas in one place. I praise
This has been the plugin I have been looking for. I have been wanting to create a B2B online teaching membership platform for the Spanish-speaking community. My family and I desire our Hispanic community to learn to grow their business beyond the little they know or have. been taught. Thank you memberpress.
I liked that you used real world examples about how a WordPress site can be converted into a members’ only subscription site. Good information that makes it easy to see why people should buy into this.
Gorgeous sites! And so many different uses of the platform too! We use Memberpress for one of our client’s sites and it has been amazing to bridge online community/profile with their in-person private lounge. And just when I think my client’s request might be too complicated, Memberpress has a solution! (Thanks for the trial period, MP team!)
Sites like DPM and online learning ones are new revolt
Thanks for great collection of ideas
Love these sites! Big shoutout to all the Memberpress members quickly changing the world 🙂
The team I work for expanded from disseminating content updates in a discord server to a full blown website. It didn’t take long to determine that Memberpress was the best solution for our needs. It’s integration with other plugins as well as the built-in API support for Stripe was pivotal to providing a seamless workflow for our users.
This move eliminated the need for cumbersome updates and now we can focus on the content vs. the admin. A superb product and honestly the support team is top notch. I’ve always received a message same day when submitted before closing time. A step up from other membership plugin providers.
Keep it up team!
The next time someone asks me for some examples of membership websites built Memberpress I won’t have to scratch my head. This article itself will do the talking on my behalf and do the work of convincing so that the person ends up buying Memberpress.
These all look incredible, hopefully one day my website will be on this list!
This is a wonderful round-up of tools and resources! I found websites I can gain education from, and it’s good to know a membership tool like this exists. I’m toying with the idea of creating one in the future, and reading this article gives me confidence that there’s a reliable ‘toolkit’ waiting for me to start that journey. Thank you so much!
Wow! Love these designs! And found some awesome blogs to follow as well 🙂
Memberpress has been and remains a reliable member plugin. It’s support base is great. No regrets so far and I strongly recommend it to anyone who faces challenges with getting a perfect membership platform flawlessly.
Thanks memberpress for this comprehensive article! It shows the many things this tool can do!
I’ve been using memberpress for 2 years now for my digital consulting services.
No sweat and I am looking forward to creating courses with Memberpress soon. All the best!
MemberPress is very flexible and can be utilized on many types of websites, to provide membership for multiple different purposes, from magazine subscriptions to app access, exclusive training to mock exam and a lot more.
Useful List. Great starting point for people looking to make a member site.
Thanks for sharing! very inspiring. I’m involved in the digital services company and got some good ideas from the examples cited here.
Fantastic article! I had heard of the MemberPress plugin but never realized that it can support so many different types of functions. I especially liked learning how MemberPress is being used to create community around a common interest.
Love these sites! Kudos to all the Memberpress team for such an amazing plugin:) I am in love with plugin and had been using on my site for last three years.
I just love all of the ideas that these organizations/businesses use in the employment of MemberPress. Very inspirational!!!
This is a treasure trove! I’m work on redesigning and redoing the landing page for my own membership, so this page provides great inspiration! Not only for design, but also for approaches, like grabbing attention, explaining the problem, offering a solution, policies, membership tiers, and more.
Thanks for putting together this great resource! I’ll be checking out all these sites for inspiration!
I manage a membership website built with Memberpress so I know how powerful the platform is. But it’s interesting to know how much useful it is in other industries as well. I am particularly interested in the online education space I have a project in that space coming down the pipeline and it will require a membership component. Thank you for the inspiration!
Great article! I got some nice ideas for my own project 🙂
Excellent plugin: with few clicks we were able to start with our subscription services. Integration with theme and other plugins very simple and efficient.
Good job!
I love some of the impressive and creative ways MemberPress has been used across a variety of industries. Definitely gave me some inspiration for my next MemberPress Project.
We are using Memberpress to sell online courses with the integration with Learndash. And it’s working very very well.
We completely recommend this integration. We don’t want to sell unit courses, because we preffer to sell a subscription with complete access to all courses.
Wow, it was impressive to see how Memberpress works for so many different industries! Including mine, my membership is for toy-making video tutorials.
What an interesting and awesome niche-down you’ve got going Jessica! Love it!
Memberpress helps us to create both membership sites and online courses! The dashboards look user-friendly and it integrates with other services like Mailchimp, Paypal and Stripe with support as well!
I love this idea to create a community! Thank you for sharing different examples in the travel field. Super helpful for envisioning how I can use a membership site.
Thanks for putting these together. This would be a very helpful resource for my upcoming membership website.
I’ve been meaning for the longest time to move all of my courses from Teachable to my own site using MemberPress. I think I’m finally ready to pull the trigger!
Thanks for all these examples. They show the adaptability and innovation behind this great plugin. Thanks!!
I have built so many client websites with MemberPress and these examples are a great showcase of all the possibilities. I’ve worked with Podcasters, Coaches, Teachers, Service Providers and so many more and the results were right on point.
This is phenomenal and deep article. Thank you so much for this well researched article. It really helped me
Great examples of websites using MemberPress! I’m getting ready to setup a membership site for a friend and i will show her the power and versatility of MemberPress.
Great article. Thank you so much for putting together such a rich collection of membership sites. It is definitely inspiring as to what can be done with MemberPress.

Wow – 80 examples all on one page and it’s still quick to search through – good job on this article, it helped me make my decision in 5 minutes 🙂
This is such a good article to refer my clients to for examples of how MemberPress can be used in different ways to help their business.
I run an Organic food company, and I was thinking of a way to offer subscription based food parcel every week, this post is exactly what i was looking for! Memberpress will not only help me standout, it will make it easier for my customers as well.
That sounds amazing, Nizar! Let us know how it’s going 🙂
I love this plugin very much, I use its free version and I can’t wait to migrate to paid and make my members area for my Japanese course.
I’m amazed how many people I know aren’t using turnkey solutions like this for their efforts … and it ends up taking more time and money to manage them. To have so many diverse examples listed together like this really makes it convenient to browse and find examples of how the product might be applied for our own needs.
This article is excellent and very thoughtfully written. I’m impressed at the vast array of websites across a wide range of categories – really shows how versatile this plugin is. Super helpful being able to see all these examples for inspiration and brainstorming!
Thanks for one’s marvelous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it, you are a great author.
I will be sure to bookmark your blog and will
often come back later on. I want to encourage one to continue your great posts, have a nice holiday weekend!
MemberPress seems to be the only membership software provider that understands that choosing between different vendors is not just about features. It is also about seeing what picky customers are able to do with it.
The above list is at least 100x more useful than the feature enumeration and a few snippets from customers featured by the competition. I will be sure to refer people to this.
very good article with very well written examples
This was a very interesting article as its usually made from the MemberPress, I started to love this article right from the first paragraph as it was inspiring that I can read some very important things, well done and good luck in the future.
