Not sure yet? Watch the first two videos. If you’re building, follow the series with ActiveCampaign in order, as each video carries on from the last. These are from 2021 and 2022, so check prices, screens and features against Memberium’s site before you rely on them.

Questions owners ask

Are these out of date?

They’re from 2021 and 2022, and we haven’t re-recorded them. The way tags, levels and automations work together is still useful to see. Check prices, screens and features with Memberium.

Does it work with my CRM?

These videos use Keap and ActiveCampaign. Check Memberium’s site for what it supports today. If you’re moving to another CRM, our WP Fusion videos include one on replacing a Memberium shortcode.

Do I need LearnDash too?

Not always. The build series uses Memberium with custom post types instead of an LMS. Our video on Memberium with LearnDash explains when you might want both.
