How to Use a Third Party Email or Marketing Automation System with Kajabi?
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!
However, I DO know that there are many who have their email lists with third party tools like Convertkit, Active Campaign and Mail Chimp. This week on Simple Steps to Online Success, I’ll talk about the key things to be aware of when using a third party email/marketing automation system with Kajabi.
• The key decisions when choosing which service to use
• Using Kajabi forms and landing pages and automations in third parties.
• Managing tags and segments in your third party email services
• What to do once an email subscriber...

Kajabi’s New Email Editor
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.
What should my course or membership site look like?
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
Looking for Inspiration? A Review of Kajabi Sites
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!

My Launch Debrief: What I would Do Differently Next Time
Earlier this month I did a launch for my new course "Reach More: Grow Your Audience, Impact and Income with Kajabi" . During that launch, which I pretty much did it all myself, I made notes on what I would do differently during the next launch. I go over those in this Facebook Live.
Truthfully, this launch was my "jump from the high dive" experience. I felt I needed to get over myself and just LAUNCH so I could LEARN! No more course consumption. It was time to implement.
I was very pleased with the results, because it now allows me to be able to help online business owners to accomplish their goals.
From the launch planning, tools, graphics and webinar help, I'll break down what happened and my real world experience and tips for making your next launch easier.
