8 Ways to Use Kajabi for Your Coaching Business
Oct 20, 2021
Take a look at Kajabi's new Coaching feature and Coaching Accelerator limited-time promo! Start a coaching business or streamline the one you have with Kajabi 💙
One of the reasons I chose Kajabi to (literally) run my entire business is their easy-to-use and comprehensive platform for creators and anyone who wants to monetize their knowledge. I can build, manage, and scale everything from one intuitive dashboard.
Though I don't currently sell any coaching myself, I worked with many coaching clients back in the day when I was a VA. So I recognize the value that Kajabi brings to the table for the coaching profession.
In light of Kajabi releasing their new Coaching feature today along with a great promotion, let's talk about 8 ways YOU can use Kajabi for your coaching business.
#1 Coaching Website
People think of Kajabi as just a course and membership platform. But as a true all-in-one, it can also host your WEBSITE. Yep, right inside your Kajabi account, you can create your home base on the internet.
There's no more need for WordPress and all its plugin conflicts and updates. Kajabi's website is SO much easier to build, personalize, and update with your new content and offerings.
Many WordPress users rely on a "techie" or VA or do these things for them. I can't tell you the relief it is to be able to do it all yourself. Not only are you no longer beholden to their timeline but you also save money, right? #techhelpiscostly
#2 Coaching Blog
Blogging is such a great thing for coaches. Not only does it help you establish authority in your niche, it also improves the SEO of your site greatly >>> which means more visitors to your site and therefore your offerings.
You can start or move your coaching BLOG to Kajabi as well. Again, it's so much easier to use than a WordPress blog. It's very nice to have everything in one place, too.
#3 Email Marketing and Opt-Ins
You may be using something like Mailchimp or ConvertKit for your broadcast emails and email sequences, and to deliver your freebie opt-in. I hate to be a broken record but ... you can do your EMAIL in Kajabi as well.
#4 Sales Pages, Forms, and Checkout
The lifeblood of your business is selling your coaching hours and packages. Kajabi makes that super simple to do with its SALES PAGES, FORMS, and CHECKOUT. Use one of the many beautiful page templates to create your sales pages, bring traffic to those in your choice of ways (social media, ads, blogging/SEO, etc.).
Use Forms to pre-qualify or just gather the client info you need, then use a Kajabi Offer aka checkout to collect payment.
#5 Courses and Membership
In addition to your coaching, you may want to offer specialized COURSES or even a MEMBERSHIP. You can easily set those things up in Kajabi.
A lot of coaches are realizing that the 1:1 coaching model is awesome but it eventually caps out. There's only so much of you to go around to your coaching clients. That's where things like courses and memberships come in. They allow you to scale your time and to help more people, which I know is your goal at the end of the day 💛
How great would it be to have your coaching offerings, your course(s), and even perhaps a membership all in the same "online shop" for your clients to get their choice of access to you and your teachings? (Think about the cross-selling opportunities there ... wink).
#6 Coaching Podcast
This is a relatively NEW feature to Kajabi, released in Fall 2021. It's the ability to have - right inside Kajabi! - a free and/or paid PODCAST.
If you don't have a podcast for your coaching business yet, this makes it super easy to start one. And if you do already have one, move it on over to Kajabi and quit paying your podcast host.
Have you noticed I keep mentioning ways that Kajabi saves you money? To learn more about that - with actual costs and numbers - please check my post "Kajabi is Too Expensive: How It Actually Saves You Money Over Cheaper Systems"
#7 Coaching Community Forum
I think coaches especially, because of their sometimes sensitive niche, can have a real problem using Facebook Groups for their COMMUNITY. Not to mention that a lot of their heart-centered clients are moving away from Facebook altogether.
Kajabi includes an option called Community, which is like a forum or message board for your clients or customers. I'm not gonna' lie ... it currently has pretty basic functionality.
So if you're expecting all the features of a FB group, you'd be disappointed. But it does the basics and gives your community a place to interact away from the prying eyes of Facebook.
Pro tip: Many Kajabians use Circle.io for their communities and it's on Kajabi's development board to integrate with Circle. No promises or timeline but just something to keep in mind 😊
.... and finally, the 8th way ....
#8 Kajabi's Brand NEW Coaching Product Feature
Though Kajabi started as a platform for selling courses, they realized how many coaches were using it to sell their services and packages as well. To better serve those coaches, they created the COACHING product (and Coaching Accelerator promo)!
As this blog post publishes (10-20-21), Kajabi is officially announcing the release of this new feature. It will allow coaches to:
- Schedule time with coaching clients
- Take private notes on sessions (plus your clients can too!)
- Share documents and resources with clients
- Track client progress
- And so much more
I was granted early access to the Coaching product and, though I'm not a coach myself, I played around with it a bit. I think Coaching on Kajabi has the functionality to streamline the coaching process and help you scale your business even further, beyond what all the other features already do.
Kajabi's "Coaching Accelerator" Promotion [LIMITED TIME]
To announce the new coaching feature and get it into as many hands as possible, Kajabi is hosting a value-packed October Promotion that includes, as a bonus, their 30-day Coaching Accelerator program.
