The joy in that video, yes that is the former President of Kajabi dancing to Usher at Impact Summit, is how I feel about Kajabi!
In 2015 I started transitioning my Professional Organizing business to all online. This meant leaving behind my in-person services and working towards selling programs and virtual coaching services.
The tools I started with were WordPress, Mailchimp, and Leadpages. At this point, I was just building my list and brand.
I learned how to integrate it all and knew that when I was ready to create my programs I would use Kajabi. I had taken a class that someone had hosted on Kajabi back in 2011 and loved the layout of the class and the forum feature.
When the day came that I was ready to create my first program I Googled Kajabi only to find they weren’t open because they were releasing New Kajabi in the coming months. I instantly applied to be a founder and I was so happy when I was approved.
Once I was in I was thrilled but a little disappointed there was no forum, which as you will see as you read on they have an even better option. My disappointment quickly disappeared when I realized how much more I could do. I was able to create my website which was a blessing because my WordPress site had been hacked earlier that year and I never wanted to go through that again. With Kajabi I don’t need to worry about updating themes and plugins!
The ease of having everything together and the cost savings are amazing.
All I pay for now is my domain name since website hosting is included in Kajabi’s price. No more hosting fees or need to pay for security. Saving about $200 a year.
I was also able to let go of Leadpages! Saving me $444 a year.
In time, I was also able to let go of MailChimp. At the time I was only paying $10 per month but every dollar counts.
Update Dec 2022: I was going to join Circle at $588 for the year, but Kajabi has acquired Vibley, which is amazing. They have continued to make upgrades to the community product and I love using it with my members. If I didn't use Zoom for free calls I would completely drop it because I can go live inside the community and any program I want
I was also thrilled that I could accept payments right within Kajabi. I didn’t have to pay for another service or figure out how to integrate it. They have recently added Kajabi payments and now I can accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, and AfterPay.

Kajabi continues to add features and improvements based on customer feedback.
They have recently added a coaching (single and group) product and podcasts.
Customer Service
Now with all of that said the best part of Kajabi is its customer service! It is the best that I have experienced with any company in any industry.
Live Chat: I have 24/7 access (included with the Growth Plan) but even with the basic plan you get live chat during business hours.
Official Facebook group: Where else does the President of a company help you out on a Sunday? Yes, that happened to me and it wasn’t even a Kajabi issue. A Chinese bot got to one of my opt-ins and I was getting thousands of opt-ins. I shut it down but the thought of deleting them all was daunting (at the time we couldn’t do a bulk delete). Jonathan Cronstedt or JCron as he is lovingly known to us all told me he would have support handle the problem ASAP on Monday. I didn’t even have to wait that long. They got rid of them all within an hour. The group is filled with support from employees, ambassadors, and many members.
What I Have Created With Kajabi
- Free Programs
- Paid Programs
- Offers to Coaching Packages
- Coaching Program
- Free Challenges
- Webinars
- My website with Blog (yes mine is basic right now but so many have created gorgeous sites with ease)
- Lead Magnets & Funnels
- Community
All of that and so much faster than when I had to piece this all together.
