Understanding Kajabi’s Backend
What is Kajabi?
Hey there! If you’re like me, using Kajabi feels like having a superpower for your online courses. It’s a fantastic platform that allows creators to build, market, and sell their content all in one place. Understanding the ins and outs of Kajabi’s backend can make your life so much easier when you need to make changes.
One of the most critical areas of Kajabi is how it handles course instructors. Whether you’re a solo instructor or working with a team, the instructor name is a crucial part of your branding and how students perceive your courses.
In this section, I’ll walk you through the basics of navigating Kajabi’s backend, so you can make those changes with confidence and ease. It’s really not as complicated as it seems!
Why Change the Instructor Name?
There are a ton of reasons you might want to change the instructor name on your Kajabi product. Maybe you’re rebranding, collaborating with a new instructor, or even adding a guest expert to your course lineup. Whatever the reason, it’s important to keep your course details up to date.
For me, I had to change the name because I partnered with another expert in my field who brings fresh perspectives to the course. Keeping things fresh and relevant can enhance student engagement and make your course offerings more appealing.
When you maintain accurate instructor details, it also establishes trust. Students want to know who’s teaching them, and if that name is outdated, it can lead to confusion or hesitation in enrollment. So, let’s get on with updating that name!
Accessing Your Products in Kajabi
Before making any changes, it’s essential to know how to navigate to your product settings in Kajabi. Just log in to your Kajabi account and head to the “Products” section from the dashboard. It’s generally straightforward and user-friendly.
Once you’re in the Products area, locate the specific product for which you want to change the instructor name. This is crucial as different products may have different instructors associated with them, and you want to ensure you’re updating the right one!
Total game-changer! If you’ve set up your courses properly, you should also have a clear view of the different modules within your course. This allows you to make any additional tweaks if needed while you’re in there.
How to Change the Instructor Name
Step into the Product Settings
Now that you’re within the product you want to edit, look for the settings or “Info” section. This is where all the fun happens! Depending on Kajabi’s updates, the layout might look different, but you should find a button or section for managing instructors right there.
Here’s a quick tip: If you’re unsure where to click, Kajabi has built-in help tips that pop up. Don’t hesitate to use those if you feel lost—it’s super handy!
Once you access the right settings area, you’re almost home free! Get ready to input that shiny new instructor name!
Updating the Instructor Name
With the settings open, look for the field where the instructor’s name is displayed. This is your chance! Simply erase the old name and type in the new one. Sounds simple, right? It is!
After entering the new name, always double-check for any typos. Even a small mistake can lead to confusion down the line. And trust me, I’ve been there—making a quick mistake can sometimes lead to a week of back-and-forth with my students asking, “Is this the right instructor?”
Once you’re done with that, make sure to save or publish your changes before exiting the settings page. There’s nothing worse than leaving an area without saving your work—so, hit that button!
Confirming the Change
Okay, you’ve updated the instructor name! But how do you confirm that it looks right? Here’s what I do: I simply head back to the product overview or course homepage. That’s where students will see the information, and I want to ensure it reflects exactly what I desire.
Take a moment to refresh or preview the product from the student’s perspective. This way, you can get a real feel of what the students will see, and that’s super important! You want it to be smooth sailing from their end.
If everything looks great, then you’re good to go! If not, just head back and make those edits as needed. It’s all part of the process of creating a great learning experience.
