This is extremely inspiring Graham! I’ve been on the sidelines for years. I need to just get it done with Kajabi.

Thank you for this! I was wracking my brain debating between creating a new private Facebook Group or go with Kajabi Community. I tell my students to avoid social media so having it off social media is more congruent for my brand. Appreciate you helping me connect the dots!!

This was such great content! Thank you for such transparancy! I've been watching your videos these past few days and have found every video to have so much value! Thank you for all the content you put out! I'll be using your link to purchase Kajabi and get started on my course! 👏

You saved my life Man.. Graham Cochrane. I love your content .. keep it up !!!

Holy crap, thank you so much. I am so frickin happy I found your channel. I'm just getting started on my course and building my community and membership and I've been confused on exactly how to put all this together. SUBSCRIBED! Thank you!

Hey Graham! Thanks so much for this breakdown. I was wondering if you have a video on how to add the community (and other products) to your side navigation like you have on your membership product rather than it just being a card on the dashboard. Thanks so much!

Nice! I was wondering how to integrate the two. I’m like you though-I tell everybody about Kajabi! It rocks. Thanks for the tutorial. 💪🏻

I liked the way you presented this. I was have alot of confusion around the community and membership. Thanks for the clarity.

This is very informative information. As I have been building an online presence and community, these videos have been very helpful. Thank you!

Really Nice. thank you Graham for making such wonderful videos.

My personal HERO :-) Just made it, like you said, and I am pleased, that I found you on RU-vid. So much better than the Help of Kajabi. THX and cheers from Spain, Amigo!

YES love this! Have been wanting this set up for mu clients for a while, getting this set up and outlined right now!

Setting up my membership now. This was perfect. THANK YOU!

You are the G.O.A.T.!!! I learn so much from your Kajabi videos. Keep them coming please and thank you!

Exactly what I was looking for! Great explanation! Thank you :)

Thank you, Graham! Very helpful.

Thanks for making the scary tech stuff easier! Your presentation style is so clear.

Bro, this is just EPIC content.

This is wonderful. I set up my membership while watching this video. I used your link to get Kajabi earlier. Great training! Lady Bird

Fantastic video Graham. I added to my Playlist 😀

Thank you for this video! This was very helpful.

Super informative. Thanks for sharing man.

Love this. You have answered all my questions you are awesome!

This is great and so helpful. My only question is, what if I also wanted an annual Membership option to provide to my clients but it’s the same product? Do i have to create another product? If people want to pay monthly they can and if they want to pay annually they can. Or I’m considering having a quarterly (seasonal membership as well where they get 3 months at a time.

This was really helpful. I am trying to start something like this for my foundation. I was thinking either a foundation membership app or something else. I will be using your link if it still works LOL

this was very useful!! I'm signing up!!! Thank you Graham!

Awesome! I am just about done with FB, so this is perfect. Thanks brother...

This is gold!! Thank you!!

THIS WAS SOOO HELPFUL! Thank you!!!

Hi Graham. Thanks for sharing this helpful information. I have an issue though. How do I upload courses in PDF or DOC format and make them non-downloadable but only readable on the platform.

Amazing info! Well presented... Is it possible to drip content based on the completion of a lesson? Example, 48 hours after completing lesson 1, lesson 2 becomes available.... If they never take lesson 2, lesson 3 never appears. Once they take lesson 2, lesson 3 appears after a 48 hour delay or whatever delay I set... Is that possible in Kajabi. I don't want people to register, do nothing for a month and then binge watch the lessons that became available due to the passage of time...

Easy. Done. THANK YOU!

I love your process and how easy it is to follow. That said... I have a Kajabi membership and we have produced a few programs there. I want to create a membership and when I go to create "new product" the option of membership is not there. All I see is course, podcast, community, and coaching. suggestions?

If you have a connection link to a private community, does the URL show when they click on it or does it automatically just redirect them to the community? I guess the question that I’m asking is if they are logged into the product for the membership does it require them to create a separate login for the community?

Hi Graham, I’m having a little trouble making this same membership-community connection in the app. These graphics and links don’t appear. I’m trying to find a work around, but I thought I’d reach out to you to see if you found a way to do it. Thanks, Jake

Wow my friend I have learned so much from you ...hope to me you in person one day and tell you so many things ... been follow you since 2014 now I have my own home studio and started to getting clients, making music videos, mixing and mastering so much more ...I did dueling mixing and now im with Joe too... blessings , Jose ..

I love this. Is there a way to add printable documents for members to download?

Thanks Graham, great intro to setting up membership site. What guidance might you have for me if I'm planning a 3-tier membership site (e.g. silver, gold, platinum), where each tier adds on products on top of the previous tiers' products? It gets complicated as the products are diverse: knowledge library, weekly live Q&A, Community forum (and a separate one for Platinum), weekly lesson, monthly workshop, monthly challenge. For each tier, there is a monthly plan and an annual plan. How can these be structures in terms or offers/products in a way that it would be easy and friendly for the user?

Graham, where can I find the course template that you use here with the collapsible menu?

Wow, this has been so useful, thank you!! QUESTION. I am creating an online course with Kajabi that people can do at their own pace, and I am planning to have separate topics inside the community so people can comment and ask questions related to each module separately. Once the move on to the next module, they should go and post comments in the next section, so they interact with people who are at the same stage. Does this sound reasonable to you, or would you suggest I do it any other way? Thx!

At [03:28] you show a sidebar on the left... how do you get that into the offer? Or as the central part of the hub? And which product do you put it in?

Awesome! This helped me so much!

Good shit dood. Solid tut. Considering Kajabi now.

How did you make your left side bar look like that in your membership? You had nice icons for your Welcome, community, Live Coaching Call, Master Class...

Thank you, Graham!! I emailed you this week (Heather Hope). You're awesome! Can't wait to join your membership! 💯🙌

What if I have several products but I want only ONE membership product. Is there a way to link fro the membership page to maybe a Products page so they could click on their purchased products and choose where to continue?

Hi, I can't seem to add thumbnails or Poster Images to my pages. I tried different browsers and cleared my cache but it won't. Please help!

Hey Graham, my new product page doesn't seem to offer me a member or mini course option. I have course, community, coaching and podcast only. Any tips?

Thanks a lot! 🧡

Kajabi looks really good. I’ve been working on a course to sell, but may need to consider a membership as well. Thanks Graham.

Love this!

Hey friends does anyone know how to create those links in the Momentum theme? Thanks much!

Hey Graham, which Kajabi template do you think is best for a membership with a lot of posts? I post 4 new workouts each week for my members.

Graham, thanks for the detailed walk through! We are already kajabi members and have a course there. Now, we are building a membership site and community and thought about using Kajabi for that to keep things under one roof. The thing is, for us, this is our end goal: Have the member login from a landing page. Then they are in the membership site (BUT) this is a full fledged site with multiple pages of content. Different sections, etc. Community(ies) is part of this as well. From my research, and seeing you take us through the backend, Kajabi for this piece doesn't seem to fit. Kajabi can build membership PAGES, but not full-fledged membership sites. I could be wrong. THe membership section needs multiple pages, blogs, videos, ect that is all accessed after they login. Is this possible in Kajabi? The team has proposed social engine as an option for this membership site. THANK YOU for the time to read this. I appreciate it.

Hey Graham! Thanks so much for this! I've been looking at membership hosting options like Mighty Networks and Memberpress, I wasn't aware Kajabi offered the community aspect too! But 2 questions - 1. Could I add 'COMMUNITY' as a link to the navigation at the top where in your video it shows STORE. LIBRARY. ABOUT US. BLOG. etc? 2. Is it possible to search, find and connect directly with other members? Do they have profiles in the same way you do in FB? Thanks so much!

Good training! We are building Kajabi to build our membership site too!

How do you get the direct link from the category to the membership? From left side bar not right @grahamcochrane

Hi Graham. Love your videos and signed up for Kajabi through your link! Question: I saw these tabs on your membership in the beginning of this video: "monthly trainings," "call replay," and "live coaching calls." Do you have any vidoes on how to set those up? Kajabi does so much it's very overwhelming at first.

Did Kajabi do away with topics inside of a community? Are are they still available?

Your videos are amazing.

Hi Graham. Question: I want to design an online course where users have to complete a series of modules, then (upon completion) can obtain a personalized certificate of completion. -would you do this via a membership site or online course? -can Kajabi membership users keep track of overall completion of modules in a larger course? -can Kajabi create documents customized using member information (ex. name) upon their completion of a course? thanks very much!

Hey Graham, I've been with Kajabi for 7 years and love it! Your membership site with the menu on the left and the big video on the right... did you custom code this layout?

Hi Graham, I just joined Kajabi with your affiliate code, I wanted to say thanks for all of your great videos.

Are there any other alternatives to this for someone who is just starting?

Have you ever run into a problem with the limited amount of product Kajabi sets on your membership (3-15-100)? Just wondering. I want to jump into Kajabi to run an membership and potential course but I am concerned by the limit they put on it. Anyone have thoughts? Also how big of a deal is the fees from the Stripe & Paypal?

HELP! What theme are you using for your membership?! I neeeeed!

Can you explain how you created the sidebar menu for your Six Figures Coaching product? The "Welcome, Community, Live Coaching Call, Latest Masterclass, etc..." Is there a way to have that sidebar menu identical across all products? Would like to link all of my products through this master sidebar menu.

I'm interested, do you offer coaching services? strongly considering kajabi but feel I could use a great coach if you offer that service?

Wow this is awesome 👌

Hi! Thank you so much for helping! You are very good to teach an explain. One more question: can I add community to the online course as well? I tried, but couldn`t find the url for to integrete course to community. Thank you again! ))

Graham. Superb stuff all around. Thank you. ONE big question: With both the membership and community products made and seemlessly integarted for the user ... In their library do they still see both products? Or is there a way for the community product not to be seen. I want to keep them from being confused - since we want them to simply enter the Membership, then link to the community. I'd love to hear back from you. Thanks!.

Thanks Graham. I'm going to use your affiliate link. Quick question on the video above, what other engagement do you tend to provide week to week with your community. From what you present it looks like they would have a course plus the community but would be interested in what you recommend as host-engagement. Cheers

Kajabi seems like it would solve so many of my problems with trying to develop a membership program and develop a course, and my website, and my email campaigns. Love your videos and your enthusiasm for the products. two questions: what type of microphone are you using (great quality) and my membership currently offers a schedule of classes that anyone can sign up for (yoga, meditation, webinars, etc.). Do you know if there is a similar function on Kajabi, or a plug-in to use on kajabi?

Hi Graham... I love the concept and kajabi... however, it appears they removed the "membership" option from their products list. Do you have a work-around?

this helped a lot. currently using patreon and it doesn’t feel like a community at all

Just curious as to how Kajabi handles paying out the revenue you've made (e.g. frequency and payment method)?

Thank you for this very helpful video - has answered a lot of questions can you add videos or live video content into Kajabi community like you would on FB? Also would love to know what program you use to screen record so your face comes up like that and the way you zoom in and spotlight things - or was that done after with video editing - thanks in advance Penny

Hello Graham, wonderful video as always. Can you please make a video showing the customer’s side? What page do they see to enter, how they login, what if they forgot their password, and how they cancel themselves and how we could help them cancel if they need help. This is actually troubleshooting for someone who runs a membership site and group. Thanks again, blessings from Athens Greece

I signed up and I'm having an awful experience. It won't let me upload youtube videos, the membership option doesn't come up with this link and the whole experience has just been one thing that doesn't work after the other.

How did you get your page looking the way you did on kajabi? The page with the welcome and community etc?

Hi Graham, for the kajabi community, is it just discussion listed by subject posts or is there a general forum?

Thanks Graham can I add a membership to my original website that promotes my mini course?

I don't have the offers option. I have the basic version. Maybe thats why?

I may have misunderstood, you explain how kajabi connects the community but I still don't know how is the content "video's / lessons" are connected. Are the videos/lessons uploaded into Kajabi are is kajabi connected to another page that hosts the lessons.

Do you have a suggestion for setting up a weekly live call in Kajabi that is a part of a membership?

Do you think Kajabi is a good platform to use if your business is a SVOD? (subscription video on demand) Thank you!

Hi Graham, Can I send notifications to members when I add new content in the Membership product?

Hey Graham! Solid content, appreciate it, looks so much easier than I imagined! Do you find that people are as engaged in the Kajabi community as much as Facebook? I always thought people wouldn't come here as much as FB and the engagement would be much higher there because a lot of people are already there. Curious what your experience is. Cool that Kajabi has this option for community, super bad ass! Also, how is your membership set up and delivered? I saw you have content and live Zoom calls, so is your content pre-made and uploaded and then you do a call once per week or month etc? Always great to see how other creators are setting their groups up. :-)

Absolutely, A GREAT VIDEO... well explained & this software is exactly what i am looking for...!!! Thank You Graham, & hit your sub 😉

Thanks Graham, Excellent flow through. Just wondering if Kajabi can do like an umbrella membership / subscription? I am building a medical online academy. One path is direct to consumer and they just pay for the course. The second is creating a membership/subscription for a service provider to pay a monthly fee for their customers to access the academy thus enhancing their customer experience and compliance to therapy. I am not sure if this is possible with Kajabi or any other LOL? I mapped it out that the SP has an access code they email the patient for a single use access. I hope that makes sense? Best to ask Kajabi? Just finalising last bit of content and then using your link to join. I am interested in the 28 day challenge. Thanks again and no problem if your not sure.

Should we be building everything in the Partner screen? What's the difference? I just signed up and am so confused by these two options- I know Partner allows you to earn a commission but where should we house everything in our regular account or that one? I notice you used Partner.

Did you make your "coaching" page from a "course" product not a coaching product?

This is exactly what i was looking for! I didnt really think kajabi as a viable platform for me earlier, but now that i know that it has cool features like the community thing along with subscriptions and everything, ill try it out. Thanks Graham! Also could u do a podcast on the topic of Money management for small businesses, i had seen your earlier podcast on it and i found it very interesting. I would like to know more about it but i dont know where to look for the info. So could you please do a podcast on it?

I am trying to build a monthly membership site with a new lesson dripped out every month. That being said, is it possible to only give access to certain months based on if a person has paid for that month. Example: A member joins in January and then stops in March. Then they rejoin in June which means when they rejoin they will only have access to Jan/Feb/Mar/Jun and onward. This way they don't have access to the months they didn't pay for since it would be unfair to other members who have stuck around and paid for every single month. OR A member joins in January and then stops in March. Then they rejoin in June but they will only have access to June onward. Meaning they only have access from their subscription date and the future months (none of the past months)

Hey Graham. As much as I love Kajabi and it's a no brainier, at this moment I can't afford to pay the 199/month. I was gonna ask about WordPress, what would you suggest? It's kind of overwhelming to see so many hostings and all. Hope to hear from you

From a feature standpoint how does the community portion add up to the facebook features? Loved the video too Thanks!

Very interesting. I can definitely see the advantage of having your community in Kajabi rather than FB...are there any advantages to doing it in FB instead bearing in mind it would still be a closed group?

Kajabi has good reviews because of the network marketing. There are major issues with email and support. I paid over $3500 to have the website build because the site is not user friendly and the videos do not match the site. After 20 minutes of trying to get one photo on the site and it continually messing up, I realized the lie. My WP site - thank God I kept it is much better! Getting out now!

I am feeling stuck to make the switch from facebook group to kajabi's community feature as I feel no one will go on it as often as they do facebook but personally I only use facebook to check that group (also considering break from facebook-amazing idea) How do you encourage and make it easier for your clients to access your community and actively comment/share, etc. I feel I am losing SO much value without a super active community of people sharing how they are feeling with each other, their wins, failures and everything else in the between. How can i create AND maintain such an active community within kajabi
