This month on Simple Steps to Online Success our topic is funnel building and Kajabi Pipelines. What is the difference between a funnel that coverts and one that creates the sound of a thousand crickets chirping?

You’ll be surprised to know that there are usually only 3 reasons why people don’t opt in for your freebie, register for your webinars, or don’t purchase your offer.

Join me this Thursday at 11:00AM Pacific Time where I’ll share the reasons why your funnels aren’t converting and what you can do to go from zero to #Kajabihero in no time!

One of the foundations of online marketing is the concept of creating marketing funnels. A marketing funnel is a way to visualize the customer journey from initial awareness of your business, all the way through conversion.

The sales funnel provides a useful framework through which you can analyze your business and identify areas for improvement.

Kajabi makes it easy to create all the assets for a variety of funnels through their Pipelines, all with just a click.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve demonstrated Kajabi’s new email editor and presented an analysis of the differences between using the new visual editor and the classic (plain text) editor.

For now, I am sticking with Kajabi and the Classic editor for my plain text emails. Although, I may be doing some test, since I have accounts with both Active Campaign and ConvertKit.

Don’t worry, I’ll report back my findings!

I’ve decided that this week’s episode of Simple Steps to Online Success will be an “Ask Me Anything” day!

Yes, that means that you can ask any question regarding Kajabi, course creation, membership sites and the tech and marketing strategies and tactics involved in all the above.

Have a burning question about Pipelines?
Need to have an idea of how to get started with Kajabi?
Curious about how you could use ConvertKit or Active Campaign with Kajabi?
What’s the best way to set up a new subscriber email sequence?
Need ideas for a new freebie?

Join me this Thursday on Simple Steps to Online Success when we further explore email marketing.

As you probably remember from last week’s episode, we talked about Kajabi’s new email editor and the potential impact on deliverability vs text only emails.
In this week’s episode, I’ll share:

- Why I deleted 25% of my email list and what happened next
- My test of Kajabi email deliverability, using the new editor vs text only email
  and the results
- How to NOT get your emails sent to your recipients’ spam folders
- Why testing your email strategy is your key to long term success

Join me this week!

On Wednesday, Kajabi publicly launched the new email editor for creating customizable templates for email broadcasts. While I have been a beta tester for quite a while, the big surprise was that there also were 18 or so beautifully designed templates created for us.

Join me while I will do a detailed demo of the new editor, plus cover some of the myths about email marketing that Kajabi covered during the reveal!

I’ll also include some of my best tips for “good list hygiene” and how to manage your list to ensure good deliverability and loyal readers.

Looking for some inspiration on creating your course or membership product in Kajabi? Let’s take a Behind the Scenes peek into the product themes and structure of other course or membership site creators, so you can gather some ideas on how you’ll wow your students and members!

In this video, I'll cover:

• An overview of using Product Themes in Kajabi
• How you can test and "try on" different themes without affecting your current Product
• A look at the Product themes and layout of Amy Porterfield and James Wedmore's courses
• Why I decided to use the Momentum theme in Kajabi after all

This episode came about when members of my paid membership asked about reviewing existing Kajabi sites for inspiration. I thought I would share a few examples of public facing websites and blogs. I WAS hoping to include some back-end course and membership site programs, but, alas, the tech gremlins (AKA as my Internet connection) conspired to make that not possible today! Looks like content for another episode!
