GrooveMember Review: Free Membership Site & Course Hosting Platform

GrooveMember Features (V2)

GrooveMember helps you create membership sites for recurring income or host and sell your online courses.

Let’s take a look at GrooveMember’s features to help you determine if this learning management system is best for you.

1. Membership Site Builder

GrooveMember’s membership site builder comes with it’s own page builder which allows you to:

• create pages relating to your membership site
• customize the members login area
• set your own branding colors

A membership site is like a portal but better. It acts like a hub with multiple courses in it.

Within the membership site, you can add multiple courses related to that membership and essentially have your own marketplace like Udemy.

2. Membership Templates

In GrooveMember, membership templates are used to design the structure and layout of your membership site.

For example, you might want a membership layout with a left side bar – you would select a template for that.

There are 2 membership templates available with more templates coming soon.

There are also page templates for the login page and post login page.

3. Membership Themes

In GrooveMember, membership themes is where you customize the color.

Inside your membership template, you can choose from the following themes:

• light
• dark
• custom colors

4. Course Modules, Chapters & Lessons

When it’s time to create your course outline, you can structure it in the following hierarchy:

• Module
• Chapter
• Lesson

Modules and lessons is all you really need.

Chapters is when you have multiple topics in a module and want to break it into chapters.

If you don’t need a chapter, you don’t need to use it.

5. Lesson Builder

GrooveMember’s lesson builder gives you a lot of flexibility to add multiple content types in the same lesson.

You can add videos, text content, checklists, accordions, audio players and download buttons with file attachments all in the same lecture.

It doesn’t stop there, you can add more elements like images and embed html codes.

You can show these elements in any order you want.

6. Course Bundles & Membership Levels

Content bundles is like membership access levels and allows you to configure how you would like to give access to your course content.

Imagine you have a membership with a starter, silver and gold plans.

You will create a course bundle for each plan.

Within each course bundle, you can assign access to specific modules and lessons.

This allows you to get really granular, pick and choose what you want to give access to.

7. Course Instructors, Progress Bars & File Hosting

You can add multiple course instructors, show course progress bars and upload various file types using GrooveMember’s file hosting.

Want To Sky Rocket Your Course Sales?

I recommend writing great copy with relevant CUSTOM graphics on your sales page.

In this day and age, people don’t read long blocks of copy.

They’re usually skimming and only stop scrolling when they see a compelling image.

You NEED unique custom 3d mockups, book covers, lead magnet images, online course mockups and funnel graphics to make your sales page convert.

I’ve always struggled with design and could not justify hiring expensive graphic designers.

Not anymore.

Just point-and-click, drag-and-drop, then export!
