Although I am not going to list red flags, some things concern me.
- Wealthy Affiliate has been in business for 15 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.
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.

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.
