Setting Your Goals for the Contact Form
Understanding the Purpose
When I set out to create a contact form in Kajabi, the very first step was to define what I wanted it to achieve. Was this just for gathering leads, or did I want to offer support? Knowing my end goal really helped shape the form’s content and design. It’s essential to think about what information you want to collect and why. This step may seem simple, but trust me, it sets everything else in motion.
Another thing to consider is your audience. Are you targeting potential clients, current customers, or maybe subscribers? Tailoring your form’s message to your specific audience can significantly improve the response rate. It’s about knowing them and what they’ll be comfortable sharing.
Finally, think about the overall user experience. You’ll want the contact form to be user-friendly and engaging. If people find it awkward or cumbersome, they’re less likely to fill it out. So, I always keep the end user in my mind while drafting the content.
Creating the Form in Kajabi
Navigating Kajabi’s Dashboard
Jumping into Kajabi’s dashboard is the next step, and let me tell you, it can be a bit overwhelming but totally manageable! I first head to the “Website” section and then click on “Forms.” It’s like unlocking the door to creativity. Everything you need is right there, waiting for you to play around with it.
Once you’re in, click “Add New,” which brings up the form options. Kajabi offers various templates, so it’s a great way to get inspired. I usually start with a basic template and tweak it to fit my needs. Remember, you don’t have to stick to the norm; let your personality shine through!
Don’t get stuck on perfection. You can always go back and adjust things later. My advice? Just start! The more you explore Kajabi, the more comfortable you’ll become with its features.
Customizing Your Contact Form
Choosing the Right Fields
Now comes the fun part—customizing your contact form! I like to keep my fields relevant and straightforward. Personal information such as name and email is a must, but I also consider if I want to include fields like phone number, company name, or how they found me. Each field should have a purpose, meaning you don’t want to overwhelm your users with unnecessary questions.
I’ve found that limiting the number of fields often yields better results. Too much information can be intimidating, so I aim for a balance that gets me the data I need without scaring people away. I always ask myself, “Would I fill this out?”
Lastly, consider adding a dropdown menu or checkboxes for specific queries. This simplifies the process for your users. It’s like holding their hand through it all. Trust me, they’ll appreciate it!
Testing Your Form
Previewing Before Publishing
Before I hit that publish button, I make sure to preview my form. Kajabi makes it super easy to see what it’ll look like on different devices. I take my time with this step because how it looks and functions mobile-wise is crucial. Since so many people use their phones to browse, it’s essential that everything is easy to navigate on smaller screens.
At this stage, I often ask a friend (or even my dog) to test it out. Just kidding—though, having fresh eyes on the form can catch errors I might’ve overlooked. I find that feedback from others can spark new ideas or highlight areas to adjust.
Testing also includes checking that your notifications are set up correctly so you’re alerted when someone fills out your form. It sounds basic, but trust me, you don’t want to miss potential leads because you didn’t double-check!
Publishing and Promoting Your Contact Form
Sharing Your Form with the World
Once I’ve done all the previous steps, it’s time for the fun part—publishing! I like to share the form across various channels. Whether it’s on my website, social media, or through an email blast, I make sure it’s visible. I often share a little snippet about what people can expect by reaching out to me, which invites them in.
Don’t forget to encourage your audience to fill it out. Clear calls to action can significantly boost your form’s performance. Phrases like “We’d love to hear from you!” or “Let’s chat!” create an inviting atmosphere.
Lastly, I monitor the form’s performance after a few weeks. I like to check metrics such as submission rates and conversion, and adjust my strategy if needed. It’s a continuous journey, and I want to ensure I’m getting the most out of my Kajabi contact form!
