Kajabi allows you to use PayPal and/or Stripe to take payments from your customers. Here we look at how to connect your PayPal/Stripe accounts to your Kajabi account so you can create Offers that require customers to pay for access.

I used NameCheap.com to buy domain names. They also have a nice email feature that allows you to easily create email addresses for your domain, and I've tested that everything works well with Kajabi.

I personally use the double opt-in method for free lead magnet subscribers simply because it results in a cleaner list. It does take a bit more effort to ensure people see and confirm to the opt-in emails though. I always make sure to provide very clear instructions for what to look for.

For PAID products, I always pre-check the checkbox to auto-add the person to my subscription list.

This provides a quick recap of our objectives, then introduces Kajabi's website feature, describes some website best practices, and offers a preview of what's coming up within the course.

In this video, I show you step 1 for setting up your Kajabi website, plus how to access your Kajabi account vs. how you access your website.

Here we take an initial look at how easily you can use Kajabi's "page builder" to create website pages.

Let's take a tour of the pre-created website pages and navigation menu to see how much time Kajabi saves us! We're one step away from modifying these pages to suit our own business!

It's best to browse themes early and figure out which one matches your desired aesthetic, and stick with that theme. When you make a bunch of website changes, THEN switch themes, those website changes do not travel with you to the new theme!

In this video, I help you understand that quick & simple is best when starting your Kajabi journey. We'll learn why it's usually to just start with a new, blank page instead of trying to modify pages from a template!

You can create as many new website pages as you want! Here's a quick look at how to do it, plus an introduction to the Kajabi page builder.

Here we explore how to set up fonts & colors that will appear on all website pages for consistency & convenience.

As a bonus comprehensive reference, I've created a page with ALL Kajabi section types on it so you can see the kinds of things can be added to any website or landing page. Notice I start out with most sections left fairly plain, then further down the page I start providing more modifications (color, position, border, etc.) for each section.

"Fonts" are the "typeface"... or what the letters and words on your page look like.

I occasionally people complain that they wish Kajabi allowed us to drag & drop content anywhere on the page they want. In this video I'll explain why that's not a good idea, then reveal a key secret to more easily putting content right where you want, the Kajabi way!

Here I show you why it's usually best to start from one of Kajabi's pre-built sections and then make any additions/modifications to it instead of always starting from a custom section like the last video.

In this lecture, I do a deep dive into some hands-on styling options that will help you better understand Kajabi's page builder options, and give you more ideas for how to create or improve your own website pages.

Sometimes you want to create different versions of the same page and try some variations to see what looks best. Instead of starting from scratch, duplicate a page and modify the copy! I'll show you can also duplicate sections and content.

Many modern websites have a popup dialog that appears whenever you move your cursor over the browser address area or close box. Those user actions signal an "intent to exit" the website, and many website owners want to show a last ditch message to try to retain that viewer. In this lecture I show how to enable/disable that feature. I personally don't use it because I think it's terribly annoying and disrespectful to users.

The header section is shared across all website pages. This lecture will show you many header styling tips, and describe how to add new pages to the menu!

Like the header section, the footer section is common and shared across all website pages. In this video I'll demonstrate the 4 footer content types, and create a simple footer.

Kajabi Urls are case sensitive. While it's unlikely to be a big problem for anyone, this video shows where you need to be attentive & careful to avoid any issues.

Landing pages have a specific purpose and are completely self-contained. Let's have an introduction.

Sometimes you'll want to be able to modify an existing page without your clients seeing those changes until you're done. Let's see how to do that.

In this video I'll quickly walk through 2 live Kajabi websites so you can recognize many of the concepts we've covered in this section. I'll discuss some pros & cons, and set you up with a mental image and mindset to propel you toward creating your own website pages in the most efficient and appealing way.

In this video, I re-visit the website theme story to reconsider which theme will be the right starting point for my Kajabi vision.

The Kajabi "About Us" page can be pretty simple. Just a couple sections to describe yourself and your background.

Most people expect to find an easy way to send you a message from your Kajabi website. Here's the fastest way to enable this!

A Kajabi FAQ page allows you to answer questions (i.e. remove objections) to reduce sales friction!

Providing your new Kajabi customers with a short orientation video when they buy your product can make a huge difference with engagement. Here's how!

The Login page is a Kajabi SYSTEM page with very few options. Basically you can change some colors and maybe add an image. Here's how!

Once a client logs into your Kajabi website, they can go to their LIBRARY (i.e. My Courses) page to view any courses in which they are enrolled. Here's how we can style it!

We can create a Kajabi Announcements about our courses so students can see the latest updates or whatever you want to announce. Here's how to style this SYSTEM page!

The Kajabi "404" page is displayed if a site visitor tries to visit a website page that doesn't exist. Arguably this should rarely ever happen, but if it does, here's a neat trick!

Many states & countries require website owners to offer (at least) a "privacy policy" page that articulates how customer data is used. Here's how to make one using a landing page!

Let's review all the Kajabi pages we've created and admire the work! Hopefully now you can see how the online course is going to fall right into place in the next section!

Here's a roadmap for our next few Kajabi objectives.

Kajabi offers several "themes" for online course products. These themes are different from the website themes we've seen in previous lectures, but can be modified in a similar way. This orientation video will help you choose the best theme as a foundation for your online courses!

Let's create a "template" online course that has the theme and visual stylings we prefer. We can then "clone" this template when we create new online courses so all our Kajabi courses have a consistent look without having to make the same changes over and over again every time.

Let's explore the sections we can customize on the course template!

Here we make a clone of our course template to create our first online course!

We'll finish up our Kajabi course by adding video content into our lessons!

Here I introduce the Kajabi Offer, plus its associated Checkout Page before we put our hands on it in the next lecture.

Here we create an Offer that allows us to sell our Kajabi course!

Here we style & configure the Kajabi checkout page that the customer will use to pay us!

Now we simply configure a "Call to Action" button on our Home and 404 pages to go to our Offer.

Here we finally see a course purchase in action! I also review the backend student management features once you've made a sale.

Here I describe the big picture vision & purpose for a Kajabi Sales Page.

Here I demonstrate several different "section" types we can use on any page (website or landing) to sell people on our offer, and give them a call to action button to move to our checkout page.

Here I provide a detailed walkthrough of creating a typical Sales and Thank You page. Be sure to pay attention around the 9 minute mark. Important stuff!

Here we tie everything together! We'll add the sales page to our top navigation menu, and also point the Home page CTA button to the sales page as well. This way, we'll drive all interest into our new Sales page to maximize the likelihood of a purchase! The Sales page will have calls to action that lead to our Checkout page, after which a successful purchase will go to our new Thank you page.

Kajabi recently added a new feature to the checkout page options that makes the purchase experience for existing customers just as nice as the experience for new customers! Here I demo it by starting from a sales page.

If you ever want to add a contact manually, maybe someone you meet on the street, for example, here's how!

It's important to stay in touch with your customers, and even send them new offers when you create them. Here's how!
