- Should I sign up for Kajabi now even though I'm not making any money or should I use cheap alternatives until I'm making enough to switch to Kajabi?
That's the question I recently got from one of my students Hannah.
Now - as an unapologetic Kajabi evangelist you know where I stand on Kajabi. It's the absolute best platform to run your entire online business on.
I use it to run a million dollar a year business.
But it's not the cheapest game in town.
If you're starting out and don't have a lot of money (or any money) coming in, does it still make sense for you to build your business on Kajabi?
I answer that question today.

Thank you Hannah for asking this question!!!! And thank you for answering. Just came across you yesterday, and I’ve been hooked.
After signing up for the 28-day free trial, I started getting so many ideas of my services. Thank you for the video. Glad that I signed up for it.
Perfect timing with this video, I was just considering this exact question all week.
I try to read peoples' minds :-)
Thanks for all your info brother! My wife and I just signed up her business to Kajabi with your referral link! cheers
Your videos over the last week (I just found you) have changed the game for me. My problem is I’m overwhelmed with all the ideas because I have been wanting to do this for a while... now thanks to Coronavirus I have been pushed out of the boat...I’m about to walk in water!! Thank you.
I am helping Kajabi clients each and every day build their online courses! This is such a great video and good advice for beginners!
Excellent video! Answers lots of questions I had about Kajabi!
Thank you for this video! This was dope af and super informative. Kajabi looks really cool
Hey Graham want to thank you so much for this video. I was the poster child of cheap alternatives I had about four different services that were struggling to try to execute the same thing that I am now able to achieve what could Kajabi. I signed up using your link about seven days ago and I am well into creating an awesome Kajabi product, offer and pipeline. Thank you! Your videos are so inspirational!
Fantastic!
This was valuable brother! Thanks! Just signed up
Incredible video.... I’ll be using your link
Great advice bro! Kajabi all the way! (Pro plan user here!) Its awesome! 👍
You know, you’re a master salesman. I’ve gotten another 28 day trial somewhere else. But I will use yours instead. You deserve it. I love the 60 day and 6 month idea of what can we career and sell in that timeframe? You, my friend, are serving your purpose well. Thanks friend!!
Dude - you are too cool. Thank you!
What does kajabi have that podia doesnt? I cant seem to find what justifies that price with an alternative like podia on the market for a fraction of the price. Does anyone know?
Sending You High Vibrations..Love and Peace..
Great look at Kajabi from a business perspective.
Thanks for this info.
Fantastic, Graham!
Nothing looks as good as Kajabi, from a course frontend perspective. The cheaper options like Thinkific, Teachable, Podia, etc just can't touch the look of Kajabi for delivering online courses.
I'd definitely love extra customization features for making my courses look exactly how I want them - but I'm sure those options will come in time.
As far as salespages and order forms, Kajabi has big drawbacks - a terrible order form from a conversion perspective, not to mention no proper OTO (upsell, downsell) setup. Need Clickfunnels or ThriveCart to do that properly.
So, for me, Kajabi is THE frontend for courses. And email marketing. For salspages/order forms, gotta go with Clickfunnels. But that quickly becomes a $200/month setup.
I'm definitely a Kajabi fan! Keep up the good work!
Sales pages in Kajabi are brilliant since they got rid of "sales pages" and just let you build them from scratch with their Premier Theme editor. The cart/checkout works great in my opinion. And the DO have one click upsells which are seamless.
Just my thoughts :-)

Hi Graham, I've just registered for the 28 Day Challenge. Just got started and look forward to learning from you on becoming a digital course creator and marketeer.
Awesome!
@@GrahamCochrane at this 28 Day Challenge can I start my affiliate program to recommend friends to join?
I believe affiliate promotions are included in the mid and upper tier of Kajabi so it depends on which plan you signed up for
Liked because it's Graham!
Haha. I guess that's a good enough reason :-)
really helpful Graham... I ended up trying to build a massive $1000 course plus a 30 day challenge in 28 days.... LOL i was aiming far too high. Now, i'm building a mini course instead about how to apply the power of your subconscious. Way easier, only 15 emails left to write and a few more videos to film and ill be launching!
Excited for your launch!
Graham Cochrane !!!🙏
I'm almost at 100 subs on my mail chimp list. Can I export those to kajabi?
Great video Graham! I was just at Brendon Burchard's event in San Diego called INFLUENCER, and I know he's a huge fan of Kajabi too. It looks amazing, and I have a quick question that's a little different than most people only selling info.
I've been coaching one on one for close to 20 years, content is massive and been DEEP into personal and spiritual development etc.
I get the back end here for coaching, membership, products, and courses, what I'm curious about is two fold, 1) why would someone use Kajabai as a full website when you get something amazing and beautiful like a Squarespace for a branded site, and 2) I'm moving more into my artist and entertainer side, (still with a foundation of empowerment and helping people wake up and know who they REALLY are, into their power etc.
Including a new show (which I tested on a summit launch and it kicked butt, and now turning into a podcast and CZcams show, it's a mix of empowerment and entertainment, a late night show if you will, and I do music, spoken word, storytelling, film and TV shows coming, live events, shows etc that combine art/entertainment with empowerment messages, I'm creating a production company too.
I never wanted to be a how to go or a program/course seller, so wondering how this all fits into using Kajabai?
I can some ways to make it work like Membership, Merch, books, cool products that aren't necessarily how to but are cool and inspiring, an still create a shift, and things like that.
I have a small list now after the summit, around 2000+ and a steady group of people who are raving fans. SO I'm ready to now up the social media brands, launch the YT channel, and build some back end, but making sure that I am 1000% true to my heart, passions, and the brand I want to create which is an artist, entertainer, and voice of empowerment.
Would love your insight if you have any to share, and sorry about the long message, it's just one of those things as an artist/creative type, who's been in the marketing world and coaching making a move to switch it up a bit and most people only talk about coaching, programs, and how to courses, and I'm kind of moving away from all that and looking for some different ideas. I DEF have a high energy vibe and personality to rock whatever I do, so that's not a problem! Thank brother!
I would say Kajabi is just a great platform to be able to sell anything online. One on one coaching, video courses, even live events. You certainly don't need it to host your website if you don't want, but for everything else it can be great for you.
What do you use, to make the videos that you can download to Kajabi? Do you use Venmo? Or what would be best?
how do i find your other 2 business? any links?
Thank you for the offer. Do you know when the challenge videos will be available again? How easy will it be for me to build my business on kajabi without the challenge videos?
Thank you in advance.
You can totally do it. In fact, I would start by watching this mini series I created on launching on Kajabi: czcams.com/video/OWjUtriQqg4/video.html
Hello. What if one day they go bankrupt or their servers run into problems, or something else ? Isn't it dangerous that all your businesses are in one place over which you have no control ? In this case, wordpress isn't better for being an open source service ?
Thanks ! Great info !!
So if someone would purchase a course i would make during the 28days and i decide to cancel my Kajabi account. would i have to refund their money or would my course stay active.
Great question - your course would no longer be active.
Question. How do you overcome the fact that kajabi will not allow you to upload your email list and get something sold within the first 30 days
As far as a one-stop shop, does Kajabi take care of EU VAT in the client payment transactions?
I believe they track all of that - but it uses Stripe or PayPal for actual payment purposes so it falls more on those platforms.
Graham Cochrane Thanks Graham.
Thanks coach. Would kajabi allow me to use it's platform to launch an online course within 28 days trial program, and pay up with my first four sales.
But I will buy do my domain name and hosting with Kajabi.

Not technically no. They will bill your card after the free trial but if you make sales that will pay you back!
Hi graham, hope you don’t mind me picking your brain again.
I have a website as my hub, Mailchimp for my mailing list, teachable for my courses and for my membership site. Kajabi sounds brilliant for getting everything in one place. My question is, how do you get everything that is already built and established onto kajabi? I imagine mailing lists is just a case of transferring email addresses over but what about people that have paid for a course or members, can you just transfer them over or is there something the customers have to do? I like to give my customers the easiest and most hassle free experience possible, it’d be great if I could transfer over with limited or no disturbances to them.
You mentioned on the podcast that transferring everyone over has been hard for you. Do you mind sharing what the process is. Thanks Dave
Great question. Email is easy like you said. Upload all your email addresses into Kajabi. Courses you would have to re-create them (i.e. upload each module) in Kajabi which is a pain but once it's done it's done. Then you simply need to grant all your customers access to the courses they purchased in their new place (i.e Kajabi). Then re-creating your blog in Kajabi involves copying and pasting your posts one by one (time consuming if you have a lot).
Graham Cochrane perfect, so transferring customers on to the courses doesn’t seem to be difficult, it’s just the uploading everything is the time consuming and difficult part.
Thanks Graham
Hi Graham, Good stuff. A quick question. I recently swtiched to Kajabi, but struggling with the fact that they only allow 1 true domain name at the 150 price point. I believe you said that you are running several businesses on Kajabi. Are you using different domain names?
My main website is edenu.tv aka edenu.org, however I also have a personal brand faithbeckford.com where I want to present my poetry, songs, and my own artistic stuff that does not quite fit on edenu. How are you doing this? if you are. Thanks for lmk
Yes - I have the biggest plan which allows multiple "Sites" with your account each with their own custom URL and Kajabi back end.
whats the annual fee
How much is it
Hi, you mentioned you were moving over your website and emails.. I've seen where you can create something like a website but I haven't seen emails. might be a silly question but can you reply to customers via email- on kajabi so everything is on there or would you just have to use your normal email pop or outlook?
Great question. No - you have to actually reply to email with your normal email client (G Suite, Outlook, etc). Kajabi just has broadcast emails and automated funnels built in.
@@GrahamCochrane ah I see.. thank u. That's easier then.
Hi Graham, can you also sell actual courses in addition to online courses using Kajabi? Thank you!
When you say "actual" courses what do you mean?
Graham Cochrane brick and mortar (classes at a venue)
I can see how a tool like that can be very practical BUT we're also regularly told not to put all our eggs in one basket, so to speak. If Kajabi ever disappeared, the entire business goes down with it. Probably not gonna happen but just a thought.
Yes - and that thinking is exactly why I didn't originally jump ALL in and go FULL KAJABI so to speak. I slowly but surely migrated everything over as I saw just how stable, robust, and legit the platform was. Also getting to meet the president, CEO, and lead product designer helped. Seeing their commitment to this platform - to being the best in the industry - was the final push I needed.
Great information ! Would you recommand to use Kajabi for your own website or it might be better to keep using wordpress (not all eggs in one basket)? Does www.grahamcochrane.com/ run on Kajabi ?
Yes - my website is all on Kajabi.
May I have the complete link to kajabi with your name?

Nice... wat mic is that by the way?

Does Kajabi offer LMS? Anybody can answer me?
What do you mean by LMS? Learning Management Software?
What about a platform that you can land your course only? Do you know the best one ? Cheapper?
Try Podia or Teachable
Hi there! I would like to know which one did you buy as an alternative to Kajabi? Because I bought CourseFunnels for myself and it is working great. With the help of this tool, I'm able to create unique courses based on various themes and languages. Thus, I'm able to capture a larger audience base. In addition to this, I'm able to sell my courses on profits with the help of its in-built profit-boosting plugins.
