Understanding Kajabi’s Course Structure
What is Kajabi?
Kajabi is an all-in-one platform designed for online entrepreneurs like us. It’s built to help you create, market, and sell your online courses effortlessly.
You can host your courses, manage memberships, and even set up email marketing—all in one place.
The beauty of it is that you don’t need to be a tech wizard to navigate through it.
When I first started using Kajabi, I was blown away by how user-friendly the interface is. Everything from content uploading to designing a landing page is quite straightforward.
This simplicity allows us to focus on what we do best—teaching and providing value to our audience.
With Kajabi, you can also add multiple users or students to your course. This flexibility means you can include people without needing to charge them upfront.
It’s perfect for giving away free trials or inviting collaborators to participate in your content.
Setting Up Free Access
Creating a Free Offer
The first step in adding people without payment is to create a free offer. This offer acts as a bridge that allows potential students to access your course.
In my experience, offering something valuable for free is a great way to showcase your content and gain trust.
To set this up, go into the Kajabi dashboard and click on ‘Products’. From there, create a new product and select the ‘Free’ option.
You’ll have the chance to promote your course and collect emails, which takes me to my next point!
You can leverage promotional strategies, like social media or your email list, to get the word out about your free offer.
Remember to emphasize the limited time of the free access, as it can create urgency and drive engagement.
Adding Free Users to the Course
Inviting Users Manually
Once your free offer is set up, you can start inviting users manually. In Kajabi, there’s an option to add users directly to a course without them needing to pay.
Navigate to the ‘People’ section in your dashboard, and you’ll find an ‘Add Person’ button.
When inviting users, make sure to enter their name and email address carefully.
It’s a good idea to personalize your invitation message to make them feel welcomed and appreciated right off the bat.
Also, don’t forget to follow up! A friendly reminder can go a long way, and it helps establish a relationship with your new students.
Trust me; the more connected they feel, the more likely they are to engage with your content.
Utilizing Member Areas
Creating a Membership Space
Kajabi allows you to create member areas, which act as exclusive spaces for your course participants.
This could be a game changer if you want a community feel within your curriculum.
I always find that having a space where students can interact enhances their learning experience.
To set it up, just create a new page under ‘Website’ and customize it to host forums or discussion sections.
This feature can also serve as a great way to build community around your courses—all while giving those users free access.
Engage with your members through regular discussions, Q&A sessions, or even virtual meet-ups.
It makes a world of difference when students can connect, share ideas, and support one another.
Tracking Engagement and Feedback
Using Kajabi Analytics
Once you have users enrolled in your free course, keeping track of engagement is super important.
Kajabi provides valuable analytics that helps you see how students are interacting with your content.
I often check the statistics to detect where people are dropping off or what content they seem to love the most.
This data gives you insights which can significantly enhance your content’s effectiveness.
Don’t hesitate to ask for feedback, either. A quick survey can help you collect thoughts on what you can improve or develop further.
When your audience feels heard, it fosters loyalty, which is invaluable in the long run.
