New to Kajabi? Let’s Get You Started!
Dec 11, 2024You’ve taken the plunge and signed up for Kajabi—congrats!
But instead of feeling accomplished, you’re staring at your dashboard like, What the heck do I do first?
Sound about right?
Let me tell you: you’re not alone.
Kajabi is an incredible tool, but figuring it out on your own can feel like assembling IKEA furniture without instructions. (Spoiler: you end up with leftover parts, frustration, and maybe a side of marital counseling.)
Breathe. I’ve got you.
Lost in Kajabi? Let’s Find Your Focus
Let’s talk about what’s really going on:
- You’re trying to build a sales page, but there are 47 other things screaming for your attention.
- You’ve got a million ideas, but no clue how to get them out of your head and into Kajabi without breaking something.
- And don’t even get me started on figuring out automations—what even is a tag, anyway?
Look, you’re not failing. Kajabi’s a big platform, and without a roadmap, it’s easy to feel stuck in a loop of, “Should I do this first… or that?”
What to Do First: Choose Your Goal
When deciding what to create first in Kajabi, it all depends on your business goals.
Ask yourself this:
- Do I need to grow my audience (list)?
- Do I have an offer ready to sell?
- Am I still figuring out my business direction?
Your answer will tell you exactly where to start.
If You’re Building Your Audience: Create a Lead Magnet
If you don’t have an email list or need to grow it, focus on a Lead Magnet and a simple Landing Page.
Why?
Building your email list is the foundation of your online business. A lead magnet attracts your ideal audience while giving them something valuable in return.
What to Do:
- Choose a Freebie: Think of a guide, checklist, or short video that solves one specific problem for your audience.
- Create a Landing Page: Use Kajabi’s templates to design a simple page with a headline, description, and opt-in form.
- Create a Nurture Email Sequence: Engage your audience with daily tips and actions, ending with an invitation to take the next step (e.g., join your waitlist, book a call, or sign up for your course).
Quick Win:
You now have a tangible asset to share and start building your audience, even before your offer is ready.
If You Have a Validated Offer to Sell: Start with a Sales Funnel
Already have an audience and an offer (course, service, or membership)? Go straight to creating a Sales Funnel.
Why?
If you have a validated offer, your goal should be to get it in front of people and start generating sales.
What to Do:
- Create a Sales Page: Highlight the transformation your offer provides. Use testimonials, benefits, and a clear Call-to-Action (CTA).
- Set Up a Checkout Page: Add pricing details and a secure way for people to pay.
- Add a Thank You Page: Confirm their purchase and set expectations for what happens next.
Quick Win:
Your offer is live and ready to make sales—no waiting, no overthinking.
If You’re Still Figuring Things Out: Start with a One-Page Website
Starting with a One-Page Website is the perfect way to establish your online presence without getting bogged down in complexity.
Why?
A simple website serves as a home base for your business while you gain clarity on your direction. Even better? You can use it to showcase your lead magnet and highlight your offer as you build and refine your strategy.
What to Do:
- Add an About Section: Share a brief introduction about who you are and how you help.
- Include a Clear CTA: Invite visitors to join your email list, book a call, or check out your offer.
- Keep It Simple: Focus on clarity over complexity.
Quick Win:
By creating a One-Page Website, you’ll have a professional-looking online presence while refining your ideas.
