Stuck on Kajabi? Top 5 Roadblocks (and How to Fix Them)

Kajabi’s an incredible platform, but let’s be real—it’s easy to hit a wall when you’re trying to bring your vision to life.

If you’ve been working on your program, online course, launch or membership site and feel stuck, you’re not alone. 

These common Kajabi roadblocks can slow you down, but the good news? 

There’s a solution for each one. 

Let’s dive into the top five challenges creators using Kajabi (like you) face and how to tackle them head-on.

Roadblock 1: Getting Automations Just Right

Automations are a game-changer, saving time and ensuring every student or customer feels valued and informed. 

But setting them up can feel like trying to defuse a bomb—one wrong click, and it’s all out of sync. 

Here’s the trick: start simple. Set up a few key automations first (like your welcome email and cart abandonment sequence) and test them. 

Once you’re confident, layer on more.

Roadblock 2: Designing a Course That Doesn’t Just Look Good but Engages

A good-looking course is one thing, but you want it to keep students coming back for more. 

Engagement isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about structuring content to draw students in. 

Think quizzes, gamification, and milestones they can actually feel proud of.

• Tip: Create sections that reward progress, like milestone badges or completion quizzes. 

Roadblock 3: Building Out a Sales Funnel That Converts

Funnels are like building a house—you need the right foundation, structure, and flow to bring people from curiosity to committed customer. 

The problem? It’s easy to get bogged down by all the moving pieces.

• Tip: Start with a simple lead magnet funnel, refine each step, and add complexity only once the original lead magnet is a repeatable and sustainable success.  

Roadblock 4: Managing Memberships & Community Features

Memberships are gold for steady income and building brand loyalty, but they can get complicated fast. Between content releases, community management, and customer support, it can feel like a full-time job.

• Tip: Start with a clear content calendar and lean into Kajabi’s automation tools for regular updates. 

Roadblock 5: Using Quizzes Effectively for Engagement and Segmentation

Quizzes are powerful for segmenting your audience and keeping them engaged, but knowing where to start can feel like a puzzle with missing pieces. 

Done right, quizzes can boost your engagement and help you tailor offers that convert.

• Tip: Begin with one quiz focused on a single learning outcome or customer insight, and track responses to refine it. 

Kajabi doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Simplify to Amplify!
