We don’t make it easy… We make it fair.

The Mimbership doesn’t eliminate the need for talent or work, but it does level the playing field. Success shouldn’t be determined by your budget... where you live... who you know... or how many followers you have. We clear a path for you to get what you deserve!

 

What Does The Mimbership Include?

We don’t charge for information or Inspiration… We give that for free in our weekly emails, live consulting sessions, and quarterly magazine. The Mimbership is about providing you with tangible help.

 

THE MIMBERSHIP INCLUDES:

Each month our team puts together multiple opportunities and post them to the site. Submissions are free for all Mimbers and there’s no fee if selected. We also cover travel (Flight & Hotel) for most Major Performance opportunities.
Mimbers receive guaranteed posts on our website which is visited by over 20,000 music industry professionals each month. These posts help with SEO (Googleability) and building your brand on the platform.
Every update you post on the site is also promoted to a few dozen media outlets and considered for FREE Magazine Features, Radio Interviews, IG Reposts, Blog Placements, and other media coverage.
Our network is your network. We tap into our contacts to secure Mimbers discounts on services, free admission to events, and much needed resources. Looking for Beats or a Mixtape Host? Just submit for a FREE email blast to DJs or Producers in the network.

Frequently Asked Questions


How much does The Mimbership cost?


Annual Mimbership dues are only $1,500 and include a Full Year of access to opportunity, support, and services.

What is a Starter Mimbership?


The Starter Mimbership was a monthly Mimbership we once offered that gave users limited access to Mimbers benefits until the could upgrade to the Full Mimbership. Starter Mimberships are no longer offered.

Can I Cancel My Mimbership?


Yes, you can cancel your Mimbership at any time to prevent future charges. Your Mimbership will remain active until the end of the current term with all benefits still available.

Do You Offer Refunds?


We offer absolutely NO Refunds. We’re 100% committed to helping independents reach their goals and have a long track record of success. We expect the same level of commitment from every Mimber. If you think there’s a reason that you’d need a refund, we’d rather you not spend the money to begin with. We’re all in and you should be too.

Why is The Mimbership Paid Yearly?


The Mimbership isn’t for people who do music as a hobby. If you’re not sure that you’ll be doing music a year from now, or you’re looking for a shortcut to success, The Mimbership isn’t for you. Real results take time… and we only work toward delivering real results.

How Do Opportunities Work?


Every month our team lines up major opportunities for Mimbers to submit for. All submissions are thoroughly reviewed and winners are chosen based on talent and work ethic. We don’t pick winners randomly, we don’t pick people based on social media following, and we don’t discriminate. Selections are based on who would make the most of the opportunity. For many of the performances we also provide paid travel.

Shouldn’t it be spelled Membership?


That's no typo! The Mimbership grew from a vision of helping independents that started over a decade ago with the first issue of Makin' It Magazine. We spell Mimbership with "MIM" to acknowledge that foundation, and our brand's history.

What does The Mimbership Guarantee?


All submissions for opportunities are guaranteed to be reviewed. All updates posted are guaranteed to be considered for coverage. Every Mimber is guaranteed a fair shot to succeed without the politics and industry BS. All results are based on talent and work ethic. What you get out of the Mimbership is directly related to what you put into it.

How is The Mimbership Different from Other Services?


A lot of great companies have recently popped up to sell indie artists advice, but we’ve been giving out free information for over a decade. The Mimbership is about offering more than information. It’s about offering real help, access to opportunities, connections, and providing you with a chance to succeed no matter what city you live in, who you know, or how small your budget is.
