What is Membership Method and who is Chris Luck? I am a sucker for a good motivational video. Chris Luck starts with an incredibly inspirational video.
I also like the way he tells people that they will have to work for what they get. He wants to extract a promise from his viewers that they will work hard to get their business rolling.
At this point, I can only say I hope this is not a scam because I like the way Chris Luck operates.
Let’s get right into this and see what Chris has to say. I will be covering;
- Who is Chris Luck?
- What does Chris say?
- What does Membership Method offer you?
- My recommendations.
- Red flags.
- A more affordable method to create an online business.
I would like to inform you that I may make a commission when you click my links and make purchases. I am an affiliate of Wealthy Affiliate; however, this does not change my reviews and comparisons. I work very hard to keep things fair and balanced based on my opinion so that you can make an informed decision.

Who is Chris Luck
In the videos, Chris is very transparent with his entrepreneur life and his personal life.
I wanted to write a bit of history on Chris Luck, so I searched for information about him on Google and Bing and Yahoo. I fully expected to find something to support what he says in his bio.
Chris’s bio states he is present in the online world since 1999 and came up with the idea for Membership Method in 2007. So don’t you think I would find some history on this guy?
I was so disappointed with what I found out. I did a photo search on Chris Luck with the picture on his Membership Method video. Look at what I found! His photo with three other names on the web.
Just when I was beginning to like this guy, I realized that Chris Luck is not really Chris Luck. I don’t know who he really is. I thought I was going to get to review a good product finally.
Let’s move on to see what the Membership Method is and what Chris (NOT Chris) says he can do for you.
What does Chris Say?
Chris spends time talking about how making money online takes time and effort, and if you don’t want to put in the time, effort, and money, then this business is not for you.
Then he goes on to teach you how to decide which avenue you want to use to make money. He talks about setting your objective.
Chris talks about all the things I know about making money online and affiliate marketing. He knows his stuff. So why didn’t he use a real name? I don’t get it.
Chris says his inspiration was Linda Weinman, who was selling information on a membership site.
Oh yes, finally, some history. Chris created Boomie vs. Pirates game in 2012 and many other businesses, including Evil Energy drink.
He states that his holy grail is this offer of the Membership Method site.
What does Membership Method offer you?
Chris teaches a 4 step method to set up an online business. He offers many bonuses, as illustrated in this photo.
Chris also has a step-by-step training with videos on how to begin an online business. Along with support, and templates to fit all of your needs. His method appears to be a good and comprehensive system.
PROS
CONS
- Chris is easy to listen to
- His instructions are easy to follow
- The training is step-by-step for you to set up your business
- He stresses hard work
- He teaches ethical practices
- Chris will stay with you until you learn as long as you are willing to work.
- He boasts a lot of experience
- Chris helps you determine what niche or line of products to promote by giving you the tools to search for what you want.
- One year money back guarantee
- The price is so high it is not affordable.
- The different names are confusing, and lack of history presented on the internet. I did, however, find the energy drinks and the game Boomie vs. Pirates that Chris mentioned.
As you can see, I have listed many more pros than cons for Chris’s Membership Method. And below, I have listed the things that make his method an excellent site to learn and create an online business.
I am a member of another platform that has been around for 14 years. I don’t want to put Chris’s plan down because I believe he has done an excellent job of putting his business together. He knows what he is doing, and I think you can make money from his training.
But in light of this statement, his platform is set up very close to the one I am a member of except two things.
- The price for Chris’s is $1497, and the price for Wealthy Affiliate is $49 a month with a bonus offer for the first month.
- Chris offers a membership method where he teaches you to draw traffic by providing free information. Some of this information is in the form of a blog post. Wealthy Affiliate teaches Affiliate Marketing with emphasis on training to rank on the first page of Google to draw in traffic.
My recommendations
Thumbs Down
Membership Method is not a scam. It is a legit business to earn money online.
Red Flags
There is only one red flag that I have to mention. The different names that appear on the same face as the face of Chris Luck. I don’t understand this part of the equation.
Although I am not going to list red flags, some things concern me.
- Wealthy Affiliate has been in business for 14 years. Membership method has a very similar business model and began this year 2019.
- There are numerous names for the same face that Membership Method calls Chris Luck.
- I found very little to no information on the Chris Luck of Membership Method.
I don’t know the reason for this or the reason for the different names. I will not give Chris a thumbs down because I did not find enough information to warrant this gesture.
I did work very hard researching the names and lack of information, and I can not find anything that says this is the real Chris Luck or that Chris Luck is real.
Honestly, I don’t know what to think about this, but I did not find derogatory comments or remarks on the internet about Membership Methods. If you have any information on this concern, please let me know in the comments below.
His training and teaching method appears to be thorough and what I am familiar with at Wealthy Affiliate.

How To Create A Website Business
A more affordable method to create an online business.
Chris teaches exactly what I and Wealthy Affiliate teach with the exceptions I mentioned above. As an entrepreneur, I do know that creating an online business takes effort and patience. To persevere is the only way to success.
But there are differences in what I offer and what Chris offers. The most significant difference if the price. I believe you can achieve the same goal with either business.
I happen to prefer Wealthy Affiliate over Membership Method because of the connection I have with the community, and the price is very affordable.
At Wealthy Affiliate, you have complete step-by-step training in the form of videos and written instructions. You have the full support of a community of people who are doing what you do, so they know how to assist you. You have access to this help 24/7/365.
Here at Wealthy Affiliate, you can create a legacy that will be around for a long time generating income for you.
It is FREE to step inside, set up your website, and take the first 10 lessons. For the first 7 days, you have access to almost everything a premium member does.
Once you check out the platform, you can stay a FREE member for six months if you like or upgrade to premium. I’ll throw in a link to a comparison chart so you can see what the difference is between free and premium.
I can also assure you that you will have me as a personal coach to help you grow and succeed — a real person to assist and help you learn.
I want to say that I am not discounting Membership Method, but Wealthy may be a more affordable way for you to begin an online business. I love WA and what they have taught me. The community is like no other, and the support is non-stop.
So head on into the platform and see why I am raving about Wealthy Affiliate. I know you will be pleased and excited to take a look at all we have to offer you. For more information, take a look at the red tab here. To sign in click on the green Free.

The choice is yours.
If you have questions or thoughts about Membership Method or Wealthy Affiliate, please take some time to leave a comment below in the comments section. I would love to hear from you and provide the answers to your questions.
Oh, I almost forgot. When you do decide to become a premium member, I will give you a 59% discount on your first month if you sign up within the first 7 days. That is a price of $19 for the first month and then $49 a month after that. At this affordable rate, you can be a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate for 2 and 1/2 years for the same price as Membership Method.
I am heading into my 3rd month at Wealthy Affiliate and I got my first commission today. It was under 20 bucks, but it proves to me that money can be made here.
For the price of Chris’s (NotChris) method, I could buy stock in WA. Although it does look at least as thorough as WA’s training, I couldn’t afford it even with an income tax windfall.
Even if I had the money, finding no tangible history outside of creating a game app PLUS finding him under different names would seal my wallet shut.
Thanks for this review, and take care.

I totally agree with you on the price. Yes, there is money to make in Affiliate Marketing and Wealthy Affiliate has the answer with their extensive training. All the best to you Gwendolyn.
Hi Laura,
I appreciate how comprehensive your review of the Membership Method versus Wealthy Affiliate was.
The starting point with the motivational discussion and pointers gets things off to a sold start.
However, the photo cross-reference to multiple identities rings serious alarm bells, and immediately pulls back the enthusiasm levels when deciding whether this training is the way forward in wanting to build your online business.
I am also a little bit sceptical when I see those huge $$$$ value line items, when it appears you are getting a 95% price reduction on the package – but what will follow shortly after once you do sign up – cue the upsell effect.
As someone who is learning and also planning to become a teacher or mentor to others down the track, my experience with Wealthy Affiliate has been exemplary to date.
From a value for money perspective, Wealthy Affiliate offers so much content and substance behind the scenes which is invaluable for anyone.
Great review.
All the best,
Shane
Shane, Thank you so much for reading and commenting on this post. Yes, the price difference is unbelievable. One can be a member at Wealthy Affiliate for 2.5 years compared to the price of Membership Method. I am not sure what is going on about the photos and history. It is without a doubt a concern.
Thanks for the review on Membership Method. I agree, Wealthy Affiliate is a better way as they teach you everything you need know AND provide you with all the technology needed to build a blog that will reach the top of search engines. You can basically write about any topic you are interested in as long as you stick with it you can make money with search engines. The system is affordable. Highly recommended. ~ E
Elain, You said it all in a few lines. Wealthy Affiliate is superior in every way.
Hello Laura,
What a great review about Chris Luck’s Membership Method versus Wealthy Affiliate. I’m so glad that I came to your website because I was ready to sign up to Membership Method. I read several reviews before yours and all were positive.
Everyone love Chris Luck’s program! Thanks to you, I now know about Wealthy Affiliate and they are just as good as Membership Method. I also read lots of other Wealthy Affiliate reviews and decided to go ahead and give a try. The BEST part is, it’s FREE!
Thanks for the great info,
Jack
Jack, Yes Wealthy Affiliate is FREE. I too read a number of other reviews on Membership Method and I was surprised when I did the deep research to find discrepancies in Chris Luck story. I am so happy you did not sign up with that program. The money is way too much.
