1. Log into Your Kajabi Account
Accessing Your Dashboard
Alright, first things first! You gotta log into your Kajabi account. It’s like opening the door to your virtual classroom. Just head over to the Kajabi website and enter your login credentials. If you’re like me, make sure you’ve got those passwords stored somewhere safe—no one wants a password mishap!
Once you’re logged in, you’ll find yourself at the Kajabi dashboard! It can be a bit overwhelming if you’re new, but don’t sweat it. This is where all the magic happens, so take a deep breath and let’s dive in!
Remember, staying organized is key! Keep an eye on where everything is in your dashboard so you can find your way around easily for future updates—adding that picture is just the start!
Navigating to the Products Section
Now that you’re all logged in, the next step is to navigate to the ‘Products’ section. Think of this as your stage where all your courses live. You’ll find this option in your left-hand sidebar. Just click on it, and you’ll see a list of your products displayed right in front of you!
Choose the product that’s associated with the instructor you want to update. Clicking on the right product is like picking the right song for your playlist—it sets the mood for everything to come!
If you’re not sure which product to choose, take a moment to review them. Each one might appeal to a different audience, so selecting the right one is vital for supporting your brand as an instructor!
Selecting the Instructor Feature
With your product selected, let’s shift gears and find the ‘Instructor’ feature. This is the spot where you’ll have the control to showcase your fabulous picture! Within your product edit page, you should find this option boldly displayed. Yes, this is where we can shine!
Tapping into this section feels like stepping into a spotlight—you’re about to enhance your online presence! Here, you can make yourself known and appeal directly to your students. A friendly face can make a big difference, you know?
So go ahead and click on the ‘Instructor’ feature. Once you’re there, you’ll notice options to edit your details, including where we’ll add that picture. Your journey as a friendly online instructor is well underway!
2. Uploading Your Image
Choosing the Right Image
Having clicked on the ‘Instructor’ section, now comes the fun part—uploading your image! Now, let’s talk about picking the right pic. You want something that represents you well, something that screams, ‘I’m approachable yet knowledgeable!’
A clear and high-quality headshot usually does the trick. Think about it—students want to see a friendly face, and a well-lit picture can make all the difference! Don’t be afraid to show a bit of your personality—grinning or in a casual pose can foster connection!
Keep in mind the vibe you wanna give off! If you’re teaching a professional course, your attire might be a bit more formal, but if it’s something more relaxed, then go for it—showing your fun side can foster relatability!
Uploading the Image
Alright, once you’ve settled on the right image, it’s time to upload it! Most platforms, including Kajabi, have a simple drag-and-drop feature, or you might just need to click an “upload” button. Super straightforward, right?
Just select the image from your device, and boom! It’s on its way to being added. If you encounter any hiccups, check the file size and format—Kajabi typically prefers JPEG or PNG formats, and there might be a file size limit to keep in mind.
If everything seems good to go, watch that upload bar fill up! Excitement builds as the picture finally finds its new home on your instructor profile. Moments like this can feel like mini victories—celebrate it!
Adjusting Your Image Display
With your image uploaded, let’s ensure it fits perfectly! Kajabi usually allows some basic image editing like cropping and resizing, so don’t skip this step. Positioning your picture well can work wonders—it’s all about presentation!
Take a minute to preview how it looks on your product page. Does it look friendly? Professional? Does it match your course topic? You want your image to be welcoming and relatable; it sets the right tone for your students!
And hey, if it doesn’t look right, no worries! It’s as easy as re-uploading or resizing until you find that sweet spot. Remember, this image represents you as an instructor, so let’s make sure it’s just right!
3. Saving Changes and Final Testing
Saving Your Updates
Before rushing off thinking you’re done, let’s save those changes! Look for a ‘Save’ or ‘Update’ button, typically found at the top or bottom of the page. Clicking that is like adding the final piece to a puzzle—satisfying and crucial!
Sometimes, tech can act a bit wonky, so I always double-check to make sure I see a confirmation message stating that changes have been saved. Trust me, nothing’s worse than doing all that work only to lose it because you forgot to save!
It’s kind of a thrill to know you’re one step closer to launching your courses with that awesome new pic! Take a moment and just enjoy that feeling of accomplishment!
Previewing Your Product Page
Now, let’s take a moment to preview your product page. There’s usually a preview button that lets you see what your students will see, and this is where it gets exciting! You want to experience your own course as if you were a student.
Does everything flow well? Is your picture looking sharp and friendly? Take a look at how your image integrates with the other content; it should flow naturally and enhance the overall feel of your page!
If something feels off, remember—you can always go back and tweak it. This is your space, and it should reflect who you are as an instructor. Getting it right will pay off once your students start engaging more!
Launching Your Course
With everything in place, it’s about time to launch your course! There’s nothing like the excitement of opening the doors to your learning space! Your updated instructor picture is now part of your brand, making you stand out in a busy online marketplace!
Before hitting ‘Publish,’ double-check everything one last time. Read through your course descriptions, check for typos, and ensure your image is loaded and aligned properly. Think of it as the final dress rehearsal before showtime!
And just like that, you’re all set! After you launch, be sure to engage with your students. Get feedback, and see how they respond to your friendly face—it can make a huge difference in how they connect with you as their guide!
