When it comes to running an online business, Kajabi is my jam. I've been on the platform since 2014 and with it, I've been able to grow two seven figure businesses. But not everyone loves Kajabi. Even thought that pains my Kajabi evangelist heart, I have made peace with that fact. I continue to promote Kajabi because I've seen it do its magic and I wholeheartedly believe it is the best online business platform out there. Today you're going to see two opposite views go head to head.
Tara Wagner, a fellow business coach, made a video about why she's leaving Kajabi, after having been on the platform for several years. I thought this was very interesting, since it is rare that I hear about someone who went all in on Kajabi and then decided to leave. So sit back and enjoy this live, unfiltered reaction video of my Kajabi heart breaking minute by minute. All jokes aside, Tara raises some good points on the weaker spots of Kajabi, but ultimately I completely disagree and explain why in this video.
Hope you enjoy!

Hey Graham! Thanks for the reaction and I love your thoughts. It sounds like we agree on quite a few things, but most importantly that NOTHING is 100% perfect for any user. I DO wish you'd included the second half of my video though, where I go into what I'm using now (and show what they offer that Kajabi doesn't - especially the gamification portion and the automations ActiveCampaign offers) - that would answer at least half your questions about my critiques. ;) Fist bump to another Big Leap lover though! 👊🏻 xo, Tara (uh, not pronounced Tera lol)
Haha. Love it. Sorry for mispronouncing the name. At least most people can likely spell yours correctly. When I go to Starbucks they write either “gram” or “ram” on my cup 🤣 Keep up the great work!
Great work @@GrahamCochrane and Tara, professional and straight to the point. However, just like Tara, I wanted to hear your views on the new gamification and engagement-heavy platform she is moving to (why can't we say their name!!) anyway. It was my major reason for watching your video and I am torn between Kajabi and that platform!! Help!
@@GrahamCochrane Funny, I watched @tarawagnercoaching video first and then saw yours. I have been back and forth on Kajabi and Xperiencify. It's how I found both the videos. Interested to see your reaction to the second half.
Tara, you're a class act. I'd have just told him to stick it up his ass.
@@ErikWilliams His reaction is no reaction, which tells says a lot.
Graham, Thanks for the awesome video. Cool to hear both sides for sure. You were one of the main reasons I went with Kajabi! Good to hear from you, brother! Keep rockin' and enjoy your sabbatical! ;)
Wow great video, I just happened on Tara's video and immediately thought of Graham. So pleased to see it's all about your approach. Food for thought!
Ahhhhh, recording revolution! I knew I recognised you...brilliant work on that, glad it was so successful - you created brilliant content and helped me learn lots about mixing. That aside I'm helping my sister move from Thinkific to Kajabi for her embroidery business, and it looks like a great solution for her so thanks for your help with this. Keep up the great work
Thank you for your honesty, I really liked your video. Here I am starting to record courses on my platform.
I too would love to see you respond to the second half of Tara's video. I think it would definitely help me to make up my mind.
Why make it harder than it needs to be? I’m still in the trial period and loving it. I’ve used WP before and it’s so confusing and just overwhelming.
I've signed up to Kajabi after following your videos and I've been loving it. I remember watching this video when it came out and they had some valid points so I was wondering if I made a mistake. Thank you for addressing this video, she does have some solid points but I'm still happy to use Kajabi
I went all in with Kajabi (with your link) nearly a year ago and to begin with it was a HUGE learning curve. I went from not understanding it to understanding how to do certain things to now beginning to see how things can link together meaning I can do work arounds and get it to do things I need it to that it wasn't really designed for. These solutions might not be THE most elegant out there but when they're added extras to what I really got the platform for I'm happy! There are a couple of things I'd love to change (the main being the community and the inability of my students to upload their own videos into community for me to coach them from,) but there are work rounds and I agree that Kajabi do seem very good at listening to what people actually want and I was just saying yesterday how pleased I was with the platform.
Totally agree! I use Kajabi for all my cardiology, weight loss, diet, books, and fitness products and courses! Works super well!
I plan on using Discord for all my community building. Nothing beats Discord in that regard IMO. The only other aspect that I feel is missing with Kajabi is most likely the gamification. But hopefully they integrate those features down the road.
Aloha! Nice vid, thanks. I've been using New Zenler since it launched, and I'm thinking about leaving that platform. I appreciate your video.
Me ha encantado este video gracias Graham yo ya había visto el video de Tara y sentí lo mismo que tu, la verdad que todo depende de tus objetivos y si usas todas las funciones de Kajabi. Yo tenía antes Wordpress, activecampaign y otras herramientas para poder tener mi negocio online y tengo que decir que una de las cosas que más valoro de Kajabi es como me ha ahorrado tiempo. Porque solo entro a un tap a trabajar cuando pase todo a Kajabi y comencé a concentrarme a conocer mejor a Kajabi y me llevo a crear mi negocio escalable sin la necesidad de usar tantas herramientas. Amo esto de Kajabi y es lo que me ahorra tiempo, también tiempo cuando trabajo con mis clientes en Kajabi. Mi vida y la de mis clientes es más simple gracias a Kajabi. 🌟
Hola Lisandra! Yo entiendo que Graham usa Kajabi y convertkit. Así también, concí a otras pesonas que hacen lo mismo. O sea, entendí que la herramienta de email marketing de Kajabi no es de los mejores. Lo que no me quedó claro es que si dejaste de usar activecampaign, que es uno de los mejores del mercado. O estas usando Kajabi con Activecampaign.
I'm still hoping to get your Kajabi trial. COVID prevented me from doing it, and as soon as my region removed restrictions, my rent went up $500, so that just dashed a few hopes, lol. Anyway, great video! Kajabi will do what I need to be done, and that's good enough for me.
This was a valuable conversation, if a bit incomplete. I watched Tara’s video and I’m not sure if the game model is right for my course. As others have mentioned here, wrestling with tech gets in the way of creating content and managing a business. I’m also thinking that the options presented by Tara are more expensive when added up.
I follow Tara Wagner and enjoy her coaching topic videos. However, I believe her review of business tech tools distracts from her core competencies. I actually believe Tara has given a boost for Kajabi. Many points about “simplicity”, “basic”, and dependable are what most professionals appreciate. Personally, I do not want to spend time getting into the tech part. Point #2. I moved off Wordpress years ago because of the maintenance of widgets - one widget causing a security vulnerability - hacked site. Point #3. I agree with @Graham that success of our clients depends on our full product design including follow-up engagement. Taking a course, any course, does not provide transformation. It’s simply knowledge transfer. The Kajabi coaching module/feature is the next step for many. And perhaps the community module/feature. I look forward to further development of these two areas on Kajabi. Point #4. I actually, appreciate the simplicity of the pipeline feature. Once I educated myself on best practice, I enjoyed creating simple pipelines. #5 Kajabi support and educational video, webinars are the extreme added value making the investment more palatable. I’m not convinced that Tara took full advantage of what is offered.
Hey Patricia! I totally agree. I mention in my vid that simplicity can be great, but that nothing is 100% perfect for any biz owner. Those were the reasons I left but could very well be the reason someone else should stay! That's why honest, non-biased reviews (especially from people who aren't affiliates) are so important to watch - so each person can find what is the right fit for them!
I’m totally Mr Kajabi, and I’ve now got a £250k+ biz on it, but the major drawback for ME is…no A/B testing. If you have a list of 10,000, a product at $200, and a conversation rate of 3%, your launch will be worth $60k. If you can test and increase your conversion rate by just 1%, that will increase your turnover by TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. You can do that with spilt testing. Graham - I am TOTALLY team Cochrane, but that is not an insignificant gain for one feature, surely??
Yep. And it’ll cost you another cool 200 for the privilege of being able to implement page redirects.
I so agree with your responses Graham. It's easy to tell by her backend that she maybe never used Kajabi to the fullest. Maybe a case of she doesn't know what she doesn't know.🤷🏻♀️
I haven't even finished my own site. However, I have 3 coaching clients who absolutely love Kajabi!💜
Congratulations Teresa.
You're right! I never used it tot he fullest because I found better options elsewhere. Graham didn't show the second half of my video in his reaction that answers his questions and explains what I've found that works better but if you're curious it's on my channel. :)
I am still on Kajabi, and considering leaving. And communicated this directly & sent videos to the customer support team on Access. Asking why?
Am I spending too much time fixing broken links & their emails. I am going to convert kit & have posted multiple times their problems with their email campaign.
It’s time consuming their emails she is correct. They added analytics recently but did not fix their segmentation & you have to tag everything. It’s not a CRM & my google analytics is head & shoulders over their recent analytics.
I do not use it because of its lack of ease of use.
Please share how it email auto segments. That has not been my experience I have to put tags on everything.
Please show this, because I question this is possible for the $199 a month plan I am on. Yet no one from support seems to know how to do this either. (my experience with 4 support people so far). Going on my 5th customer support come this Tuesday.
Yes subscribers & subscriptions.
It’s a headache, and a time suck.
Really you have to tag everyone after they fill out a form.
The products are great & landing pages are Kajabi best feature. The gamification is a great point. Get results is not easy if they have to login with a user name & password every-time. (also a headache).
Momentum product I like too.
Hi Graham, great video. What happens if you sell a lifetime access to an online course and it doesn't work out well. You need to keep paying the kajabi monthly fee forever for the few people who bought it to have access? Today I only have courses on platforms that charge a % on the sale so I wonder about this.
Hi Graham, what are your thoughts around the gamification elements? That was the main thing I was hoping to see you discuss. I saw that as the only real competitive advantage she pointed out.
My $0.02 worth here... I think gamification is cool / good / useful, but at the end of the day, what matters more is how great your content and delivery is. Kajabi's all-in-one-place benefit, to me, outweighs the ability to have elaborate gamification. Gamification will be easy for Kajabi to add over time (esp. with the USD $550m capital injection last year).
I saw this video when i was shopping around and when she went into her alternative, i tuned out and went with kajabi anyways...
Glad you picked what works for you! That's the whole point of any review video - show the pros AND cons so each person can find their personal best fit.
@@TaraWagner thanks Tara. The needs for my business right now just lend toward an all in one system.
This is a great video Graham, good points from both sides. Most of her concerns with the Facebook pixel I believe are referring to advanced tracking when wanting to track very specific custom events like someone opting into a lead magnet but not yet converting in order to do very specific retargeting with facebook ads. That all gets very complex with multiple ads running all targeting your website viewers based on where they are in your funnel/customer journey. All though as you mentioned with the growth plan you do have access to the code editor on every page you create so that really shouldn't be an issue for her.
It seems like with design there are 3 tiers almost, Beginner (no design experience/needs templates), Intermediate (all custom designing and funnel built from scratch, but using the limited design tools in Kajabi compared to something like Wordpress), and then Advanced Beast mode (when full customization/control is needed for every step of the funnel). This seems to be the case with some of their features; from pipelines, emails, website designer. All of their tools can do the Intermediate level perfectly and more than enough for MOST people, but when needing more advanced web design or needing specific plugins for your website can be tricky.
My main site is an E-Commerce Shopify store with digital products and services and my email list is built using Mail chimp because of the e-commerce/design features it offers in the email builder. I also have a course that I offer in my email funnel that is hosted with Kajabi. I only use Kajabi to build the landing pages for the course and host the course. I too just do everything from scratch and find Kajabi to be more than enough for my needs even when running paid ads with facebook and tracking it all.
Interestingly enough, I bought one of your Pro Tools mixing courses back in 2013 and it really helped launch my freelance mixing career. The mixing stuff I learned from school (Full Sail) didnt even come close to be as useful as a simple few hours in your course. Been mixing hip hop artists ever since until I was inspired to start sharing my knowledge with my local artists and friends around town. I decided to make my first youtube video during the pandemic introducing my products and my life changed ever since. Then this channel came along and has been such a cool thing to see you transition into teaching your online money making side! So thank you Graham for all of your inspiration and knowledge from both RR & GC! Much love brother. 🙏🏼
Thanks for the support all these years!
Thanks Graham.. May I ask about how you keep track of the Podcast that you were on, so that you can see who came from the Podcast .. ( you mentioned it at 23:37. Thks
Hi Graham, I'm struggling to decide if it's best to have Kajabi for a personal brand 100%, just courses etc., or use a keyword rich brand instead? Here is my example, as a WordPress web design and digital marketing agency owner, I'm looking to start a personal brand in 2024 and sell courses to help people do what I do. I see your Graham Cochrane is a Kajabi website, so have you seen any difference in Google rankings or customers finding you as you also have other non-personal name brands? So I guess I'm asking do you have any tips in terms of having a Kajabi site for a personal brand vs having a keyword name like "Web design for beginners" where your courses are on Kajabi, yet you use WordPress for a blog and branding? Thank you new friend.
I agree the price is too high. Why not have more tiers? Yes I only have one course so far, but if I can’t cover costs with the first one, why would I create a second…
most likely you have a bad course lol
It seems like she never really gave it a real shot even though she’s been on the platform for a while. I run digital products, coaching, podcast, website, email marketing, landing pages, blog and I’m about to start doing webinars through some of the tutorials you’ve shared in the past using CZcams Live.
All through Kajabi. Entire business is run on a couple hundred a month. You can’t beat that for all that you get. She likes to use the word “limited” which is exactly right. She’s had limited experience with Kajabi, so she probably shouldn’t be hating on it so hard. 👀
Always speaking Truth Graham, keep it up!
I am currently with teachable but considering going to kajabi. Personally the only thing I like about teachable is the look and feel of the course for my students. I have taken courses that were hosted on kajabi but I did not like how it was set up. I like being able to see what percentage I am finished with and being able to see what module I am on and things like that. Maybe the courses I have taken have just used the basic set up. I don't know....but I think I can live with the look if it means everything is connected including a website. That is what I LOVE about kajabi. Thanks for reviewing the pros and cons :)
Absolutely agree on the course environment in Kajabi. It’s the second main reason I’m not considering Kajabi, (main reason is it’s €500 more expensive a year than my current setup) because I don’t think the navigation is intuitive at all. It’s a sort of folder structure which I find really strange. (maybe there’s more ways to setup your navigation, but the people I know that use it have this folder navigation.
@@pencilsandstories What setup do you have?
Honestly just by listening to her, it appears to me she never fully took the time to learn about Kajabi. She comes across very dismissive of things she doesn't understand fully.
I know Kajabi has TIME REVEAL for block elements, but do you know if there is a way to do "TIME HIDE"? I would like to HIDE elements at a certain time.
Graham, what do you think about her points on gamification? Gamification is a major point she made towards the end of the video. I think that she might have some points on that front.
I think gamification is powerful but not as big of a deal in reality - not to jump ship on Kajabi in my opinion.
Great video! Love Tara's video and love this one. Wish Tara would do the detailed update video on her experience on the new platform after using it a lot - because I keep tipping back and forth. Especially since Xperiencify raised their price dramatically!
I'm a numbers guy, and conversion numbers are everything. I need detailed split testing, heat maps, etc to squeeze every conversion percentage possible. Every 1% of 1,000 hits is another 10 sales! Your conversion rate helps determine your revenue and adspend (along with LTV, etc). (Sure using Kajabi can help create a 7 figure biz - but you could bump that up with optimized conversions). And if you can't tell exactly what is hurting/helping conversions because you can't split test emails, website headlines, copy, price etc - then have the ability to see it all using detailed reports - how will you know what copy to change/adjust? Generally changing a page or email manually, publishing/unpublishing THEN looking at results is like using a shotgun to kill a rat, when a well aimed BB gun will be much more effective. ClickFunnels (I don't like them, but this is cool) at least split tests pages, and keeps the winner. Not sure if Kajabi does this?
And if Kajabi doesn't have this type of comprehensive split testing, and I have to use a 3rd party app's code snippet on Kajabi page - and Kajabi wants to charge extra for this VERY basic task, that's nuts. (I don't have Kajabi - just trying to understand the limitations).
Honestly, I'm not sure Xperiencify does any of this type of split testing either (to be fair).
Also, could you set an email trigger for a student who just finished a particular lesson, or hasn't watched a new lesson in x days, etc?
SHOTS FIRED!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I'm not sure what platform Tara has moved to I hope she is happier with her move. For me I think you sum it up quiet nicely with; providing an excellent client experience, simplicity of use for the coach and as you have demonstrated you can make a significant income. Thank you for providing a friendly, informative and clear response to a well meant video from Tara but slightly ill informed by her own admission. Bottom line try and judge for yourself, no platform or coach advisor is perfect 😊👍Ps: a client's success can be aided by the ease of use of the platform and definitely by the quality of the coaching and support but ultimately the client has to put the work in. I've yet to find a platform that will actually do the work for you. Please let me know if you find one I need to take the next 12 months off and still get rich🤣🤣🤣
I talk about what Im using instead in my full video - Graham shared just the Kajabi part. I've moved to a platform that focuses on the UX and includes massive gamification and built in accountability. My members freaking love it and their success rate, engagement, and feedback has been through the roof!
"I never used it, but I think it's not very useful...". That's kind of funny.
😂
LOL to be fair, not using it and not investigating it to decide if I want to use it are two different things - but yeah, touche! 😂
How much does Kejabi cost please. I want to use it for selling courses. I can’t find the cost anywhere?
I'm checking into your info,Graham, and Kajabi. But, I have a senior background in system integration on large scale (largest) systems. You guys are frightening me. If a person is a content creator, every second devoted to technology tweaking is a waste of time.
I get the DIY approach, and I do that. But when the wheels come off, your content business is dead. If you're a control freak, ok, but Graham's view on 80/20 is the essence of what folks should be looking for.
In several decades of working with 'business users' they often focus on technology, and not their business. They have a solution, but aren't actually clear on what the business problem really is. I think Tara should do a cost benefit analysis of tweaking a 'sub-folder pixelation funnel transfer' ( smile ) to see if all the personal time invested is providing a reasonable ROI. As others might also note, "feature - target focus" is a bad problem for amature techs, which is the audience that Kajabi and others are targeting.
Graham's focus on management and judgement are much more important then all the technical whiz-bang functionality that is being SOLD by platform sellers. If Kajabi is a reliable platform with consistent performance, then that is the high value point. Not every piece of pretty, super detailed technology is going to change your business for the better. Most of it is a distraction. And if you're expecting to be all things to all people - quit now. Content creators (as opposed to product marketing folks) need to create content, nurture, feed, and listen. Never let the technology drive your content goals - support, enhance, extend, sure, but not drive. Customers needs should drive the content, which drives the business. And drives your success. Just my two cents worth as I travel down the road toward using these tools. Thanks Graham for doing the commentary.
Well said.
Agreed. WP really confused me with too many bells and whistles. Don’t even get me started on the plugins! Kajabi is the best solution for people that want to start a business with little to no experience building websites. Focus on the business and not the shiny objects.
EXACTLY !!! I have built many CUSTOM websites. And this means it works exactly as the client wants. BUT, if something breaks or they want to make the simplest change, guess what. It's more custom code, more time, and more MONEY!
@Mad Mike Media Whatever works for her is fine, I am sure he has her reasons, but she did more to demonstrate she doesn't understand the platform than help her audience.
Totally agree! I use Kajabi for all my cardiology, weight loss, diet, books, and fitness products and courses! Works super well!
I had so many of the same thoughts when I saw her video... it's obvious she didn't utilize the editing options and features inside Kajabi. You can create beautiful pages in Kajabi or buy templates from amazing Kajabi designers. You can do quite a few things she said Kajabi won't do. (Sending emails at specific times, adding pixels, up-leveling your upsell page, etc.) Kajabi offers gamification options now, but I choose not to use them... I find gamification to be a total distraction. I appreciate the way you reviewed this. What she showed in Kajabi was SO basic and therefore not a true comparison. Kajabi 100% will scale with you. No platform is perfect, but it's been everything I've needed and more for 4 years. Their community, customer service, and user experience can't be beat.
I understand feeling frustrated. I am about to lose my mind. When I click on my button on my landing page it has a pop-up that won't let me customize it to redirect to my form. It says Edit but it is unclickable. I feel like I keep getting stuck. I wish I had done my trial with Graham but now I feel like I am out of luck. I am going to go back to stress eating and crying in the corner.
Hang in there! With any tech there's always hiccups. Have you reached out to their support? I did always find them helpful. Good luck!
I’m having this same issue. I regret ever creating this damn pop up!! 😂hang in there
She used SYSTEM PAGES not LANDING PAGES. SYSTEM PAGES do not have all the capabilities that LANDING PAGES do. She’s showing the default.
The Facebook pixel is easily added in settings. She’s probably thinking about how it’s done and Wordpress using a code snippet.
She’s showing her product in premier and it looks good… you can also use momentum
Thank you
Graham is way more creative than her, he's saying you can get creative with the automations and the basic stuff she's talking about is just the simple foundation that gives you the freedom to be creative. Good analogy, platforms are like music mix templates, the more you use one the better your mix gets, Kajabi is probably like an Al Shmitt mix template....Hehe. This vid is so informative by Graham that I'm choosing Kajabi for my Online Business. Thank you Graham and Happy Father's Day to all of us Father's. God Bless!
We tried Xperiencify and it was a disaster. There's no way to access your billing to change anything or cancel trial. Your billing is housed on Stripe. You have to send a request to access your account. That link never comes to your email, so you have no idea what is being done. They want you to email them for everything... even to access your own billing center. Kind a shady, so beware. Once you enter your billing information, it's there forever.
Hi . How did you save hosting cost ?
What’s the take on Karra?
is Kajabi better than Samcart? Would love if you could do this comparison. thank you, Monika
Sounds like she’s got something else bothering her! She’s quit Insta too! It’s easy to tear something down but did she have any recommendations? I’m not even on Kajabi yet but I’ve done courses on the platform that I’ve loved! And yes, one of those is yours Graham! 😉 Kajabi is so simply, from a students perspective to find information and navigate through a course, that’s why I’ll be launching my course through them. There has to be a balance between the user experience and the customers experience 🤷🏼 Not sure where Tara is going but I wish her luck. 👍🏻
Thanks for being a student!
Sarah I thought the same thing. I would much rather she do a video on what she is using and tell us why it is so great as opposed tear down a product she is no longer using. Not very helpful.
Also I don't know Tara or anything about her business. But it does not motivate me to want to seek her out for advice and causes me to question her ability to teach or coach. But again, I don't know a thing about her.
The second half of my video (that Graham didn't show here, prob bc his reaction vid would be LONG lol) went into what I'm using instead. I'd highly recommend checking it out. The UX is amazing and my students RAVE about the built in gamification and automated accountability.
And hell yeah I quit Insta a loooong time ago! Best biz/time decision to date! LOL But as I say with everything - no decision is 100% right for every person. I hope you've found the perfect fit for you too!
@@TaraWagner Hi Tara I saw your video first before seeing this one. Do you have a follow-up review or Xperiencify? My course is a gamified personal development and ecosystem. I am running it in discord atm. But seeing that I need something that’s built from scratch for courses. Is there an API that can move data from XP to Discord that would keep the levels/badges etc relevant and up to date automatically?

They charged my card after 1 DAY on trial… then didn’t give me the full 30 day trial. And their SUPPORT is POOR. I can’t even get a human on the phone to straighten it out. I’m a paid member, of course, because THEY signed me up. THEY charged my card. And I can’t reach them OR GRAHAM-who I suspect could get their attention!-but I CAN’T! What do I do now?
Thing is, I really WANTED to sign up for Pro-and even already moved all my Active Campaign contacts to Kajabi! Now I’m not sure what to do.
Very humble job Graham and an excellent video. I’ve been with Kajabi from the first week of its release and am one of their Founders.
My reasons for staying with Kajabi: 1. Excellent integration. 2. No need for an IT consultant to wire up a custom suite 3. A very aggressive approach to continuous innovation. 4. Literally everything you need to run a turnkey, modern business. 5. Secure, fast, reliable. As good as it gets. No panicking days with Wordpress hosting. 6. Support is great. They hire and retain smart people. Recently added a site and forgot how to integrate with Google Business. They had me up an running in 15 minutes. And I only waited a couple of minutes to talk to them.
Kajabi is a rare platform run by a team of committed owners who really understand this market.
My take on her issues: She makes the exact mistake I often make … making “rabbit hole” emotional decisions without thoroughly digging into all the features/functions of your current technology or platform.
I am glad you have had great customer support so far I have not. And I pay $199.00 a month.
I feel I get a new Kajabi employee on chat every-time I reach out. And it reverts back to old password BS.
Kajabi Funnels is great but I find it hard to believe 2500 clicks into the funnels and not one course sale. Is it a need, yes did we do a keyword search yes. Did we design it well yes.
So the ROI on this is does not happen for everyone.
Thanks so much for this video, I am a Kajabi user and I freaked when I first saw her video. I am requesting everything. Upsell and cart I am outside (samcart) which I don't like either but they have physical option. My biggest problem with Kajabi, the not having real technical support, I am always better at kajabi than the person. I wander what to do now, I am freaking out because my business is still a baby. I currently pay : kajabi, samcart, zapier, powr, zoom, calendly, text-coaching (salesmsg) and shopping for a community JUST to have a complete program. I am currently thinking of buying her suggestion + app for my community. I'm going to watch your videos right away... you are thorough and that is super appreciated :) Sophie
Totally random but how do you have a play button with only 40k subs? Was it at 100k once upon a time 🤔
For my first channel Recording Revolution
I watched it a bit ago too but there was a lot lacking that she didnt even try to do. I'm new to Kajabi but even I could tell she never even used it to its potential.. but maybe it was different 4 years ago and she gave up without seeing the improvements. She just had way too much misinformation.
She said early on that she didn't want to pay the premium price for extras she didn't think were worth it.?. What's the difference in price.
I am genuinely not trying to be rude, but I'm just thinking she's not fully understanding Kajabi. I think a lot of what she said can't be done actually can be done. This was helpful.
Kajabi used to irritate the crap out of me for years, especially with its false claims of being an "all in one platform." However, they know seemed to have cleaned up most of the issues, added more features, and I finally jumped on board this year. For the first time ever, they do actually appear to be all in one. But lying about that for years when it was really little more than a course hosting platform left a bad taste in my mouth for a very long time about it. If you're not all in one, don't mislead people.
She really didn’t give it a fair chance did she? I appreciate her going through the trouble to make a critique video but she ain’t ready. Why didn’t she just dig a bit deeper or maybe find someone that knows the platform well enough to school her? She’s obviously not a subscriber bro.
I'd recommend watching my full video. I say a LOT more in that one. :) P.S. I actually am a subscriber - just not a disciple I guess. LOL
I'm about to quit kajabi, it's been so frustrating to customize it. I won't recommend it. Too much information, too many options, not an easy road to follow. Sorry.
so...... what platform did she switch to?
HAUTE it sounded like she has a Frankenstein solution. A WordPress website, a different email system tied to an even different shopping cart system.
@@PhotoMentor exactly the situation that 99% of folks would go out of their way to avoid. I'm rolling out an educational platform on commercial real estate soon, and the ton of LMS research I did always points back to Kajabi, so when ready I'll be using it and will go through your link. Thanks for your response and for producing such great high-quality content, please keep it coming!
I talk about it in the second half of my vid, and Photo Mentor is right, it's kinda Frankstein-ish 😂 BUT the capabilities are amazing and the UX of the new course provider is the bees knees. With anything though, each biz owner needs to do their own homework and pick what's right for them. Frankenstein happen to be my BFF. lol

@@TaraWagner I don't see your Xperiencify update...Are you doing one soon?
Kajabi looks great, but it needs more gamification, text messaging, etc.
You are simply a Kajabi Salesman.
Kajabi selling tools suck. Way behind the times. I left kajabi after 7 years wanting to take my business to the next level.
People still buy courses? Thought that was just a pandemic trend
I figured you would delete my comment, you only want comments from people who agree with you. I will post my original comment to you on Tara's channel since you've deleted it here. I wondered about you and if you were honest or would say anything, now I know you will. Leaving never to return and will make sure I spread the word. Now you can delete this one after reading it.✌
Not sure what you are referring to. I don’t delete any comments.
Okay. It was here and now it's gone, and it didn't violate any YT policies, so, I guess it was a ghost that deleted it.
