How Memberium was started

Born out of a need for better performing Membership sites and a dissatisfaction with the limits of Membership platforms available for Infusionsoft and WordPress. Memberium was built for top internet marketers, by top internet marketers.
Memberium was originally developed by David Bullock, a leading Infusionsoft web developer. When one of his high profile clients became so frustrated with the membership site plugin they were trying to use, David decided to fix the root of the problem and created a custom membership plugin based around his clients needs.
Dave used it with his private consulting clients over the next year. Never originally intended for public release until Micah Mitchell was able to persuade Dave that there was a huge demand in the Infusionsoft community for a new membership site plugin that would integrate with WordPress. Thus, Memberium was born and launched in March of 2014.
Right after launching publicly, the MMMastery & Memberium team worked tirelessly on continuing to improve Memberium’s features, speed and usability.
Being built around the needs & demands of top internet marketers who use Infusionsoft has helped make Memberium the ideal solution for anyone looking to connect Infusionsoft and Wordpress.
This has helped Memberium quickly become the choice Membership site software among top Infusionsoft users and leading web agencies that specialize in Infusionsoft.
Memberium was built Exclusively for Infusionsoft with Infusionsoft users in mind
The Memberium team knows Infusionsoft inside and out.
All of our team has years of experience in working with Infusionsoft based business’, and are very connected to the Infusionsoft community.
We built Memberium on top of this mountain of knowledge & experience with the Infusionsoft user coming first in mind.
Most major Worpdress membership plugins have limited Infusionsoft integrations and naturally have stuff in them Infusionsoft users don’t need which can slow them down. This can lead to a very frustrating experience for any Infusionsoft user looking to connect Wordpress to Infusionsoft.
Memberium lets you integrate Infusionsoft’s automation tools to manage and control access to the content on your WordPress site. It currently comes with the most advanced “Infusionsoft Integration” over any other Wordpress plugins that are currently available.
You can build membership sites, sell online courses, securely sell digital products and turn any normal Wordpress site into a rich, dynamic website your customers will love. The possibilities of Wordpress based sites you can build with Memberium are truly endless.
Using the Infusionsoft API along with Infusionsoft’s unique drag and drop Campaign Builder, Memberium allows you to manage your entire Membership site automatically.
This powerful integration of the Infusionsoft API allows you to use Infusionsoft’s powerful automation tools and bring them into Wordpress.
You’ll be able to automatically protect your content, automatically fulfill customer orders, sell targeted one click upsells, start or stop different campaign builder goals based on a user’s web activity, and be able to do MUCH more with your Wordpress site by combining the power of Infusionsoft with Memberium.
What types of sites can you build with Memberium?

Say Goodbye to Slow Membership Sites - Revolutionary Scalability of the Infusionsoft API
A common issue with large Membership sites is they get slow & bloated easily.
Memberium was designed from day 1 for responsible use of the Infusionsoft API. Unlike older plugins that were designed in the days when every page load would cause a half dozen API calls to be made.
Memberium was conceived and designed around the two concepts that the API use is subject to quota, and that since API calls are relatively slow, a core feature of our product is that you’re given complete control over what’s synchronized, speeding up your site and minimizing your database footprint for maximum performance.
Depending on your needs, you can tune Memberium to run with as little as 20% of the API calls of other membership systems, resulting in a faster site, and improved scalability as you grow your business.
In order to optimize API usage, Memberium lets you control which data you synchronize during login. Allowing users to bypass syncing extra data while reducing API calls and usage.
Memberium today easily handles sites ranging from a few users, to sites with many tens of thousands of users. Those same loads have caused severe performance problems with kitchen-sink approach plugins.
Lean Memory Footprint & Fast, High Performance
Similar “membership site” plugins require enormous amounts of memory, and can cause site crashes due to memory exhaustion. As part of our focus on scalability we manage memory usage very carefully.
Many plugin authors will tell users that they need to increase your memory to 64M, 96M or even more just to run one plugin, that’s a huge red flag because they’re just hiding the problem — not fixing it. This memory pressure always causes scalability and reliability issues when your site is under load.
Memberium is designed from the ground up for performance so it doesn’t suffer from these types of problems.
We’re not afraid to embrace modern technologies like Facebook’s HHVM, and caching, which allow us improve the speed of Memberium based sites. Combined with the principles we use to encouraging scalability, and our refusal to turn Memberium into a hodge podge of non-membership functions, this results in a faster, better experience for our users.
