If you want more beach days , you need to automate. One of the easiest ways to automate business for service providers and coaches is to use a scheduler for your calls, Zoom sessions, even in-person meetings (tho' those are on pause for now, of course ... but we WILL get back to normal).

You're already on the right track by utilizing Kajabi; the trick is to use it to its full capacity including little tricks like embedding a scheduler.

As a Kajabi user, you'll notice that there's no inherent appointment scheduling calendar but that's fine because awesome solutions already exist like Calendly, Acuity, Book Like a Boss, etc.

My favorite of those solutions is Acuity Scheduling so I'm going to show you an easy way to embed your scheduler right into your offerings, contact, or home page on your Kajabi...

If you hang around much in the online courses and marketing world, you can get the impression that the only people making money are those who are teaching others about coaching, online business, marketing, blogging, etc.

Can You Sell Courses on Kajabi That Are NOT Coaching or Online Business Related?

While it's true that those are clearly the most popular topics to offer courses or memberships on, there ARE other options. Ever since I joined Kajabi in 2016, my eyes have really been opened to the HUGE variety of learning topics out there!

So I did a quick case study for you by scouting around KajabiLand for unusual course topics. Then I compiled this list to show you that if you want to teach a "non-traditional" subject, you can definitely do that! Here's your proof.

Hey there, my fellow creative! Are you tired of paying for the stock photos you use in your online business? Or are you just starting out and your budget is slim?

Well, I have your solution! I've found 30+ sites with FREE images you can use with no attribution and no restrictions. Pretty exciting, right?

Any time you need an image to use in your business, just come back to this post (SAVE IT TO YOUR FAVORITES NOW!) and you're golden :)

What Are "CC Zero" Photos?

CC0 photos are free to use anywhere online. Before using a photo from one of these sites, though, YOU are responsible for confirming it has a CC0 license. I'm merely providing sites where some CC0 photos can be found.

These sites may also have paid, attribution-required photos available as well so you MUST ascertain the type of photo license before using each photo (an explanation of photo license types is HERE).

For example, my favorite free photo resource...

If you are, you're definitely not alone. I think tech overwhelm is one of the biggest problems we have in business. By nature, we creatives are "ooh, shiny object!" people because we're easily fascinated and our minds are so open to new ideas.

But when it comes to running an online business, those traits can also be our downfall. It can be difficult to zero in on just a few solutions that will actually meet all of our business needs. Ummm, we're not so good at saying "NO" to possibilities, are we?

Tech Overwhelm is a Real Problem for Creative Solopreneurs

 Here's why:

- It distracts from your real goals
- It stalls your progress
- It takes you away from your creative work
- It takes you away from serving your people
- It costs too much
- It destroys your confidence
... and it can even make you...

Top-of-the-line speakers dishing out so many "a-ha!" moments! Did you hear about the Kajabi "Impact Summit"? It was an amazing event held in Irvine, CA from April 5-7, 2019. It included the top authors, speakers, and entrepreneurs all on one stage teaching how to grow your online business. 

As a Kajabi Ambassador, it was a no-brainer that I'd attend and, boy, am I glad I did. It was an amazing experience I'll never forget!! Now that I'm back, I'm writing all about it - to share the information I gleaned and to encourage you to attend next year!

Note: This is an older blog post. Kajabi has announced that as of 11-30-19, they will no longer offer discounts of any kind. They want potential customers to know that the standard price is the best price and not to waste time hunting for discounts, rather to sign up knowing they already have the best price. Therefore, as a Kajabi referral partner/affiliate, I can no longer offer discounts but instead an extended free trial (28 days vs 14 days on Kajabi's own home page) plus some bonuses any time you sign up using my LINK. Thanks!

I'm in a lot of business- and entrepreneurial-related Facebook groups. If I had a dime for every time someone asked, "What's the best platform for selling courses, products, or memberships?", I'd be a rich, rich woman, yo. My answer is always "KAJABI" .

There are lots of options and I've studied them all. I've used some of them and some I haven't bothered because I could tell they'd be a waste of my valuable time. I was a data and budget analyst for...

As we've talked about before, using Pinterest to build your blog audience - and therefore market your Kajabi products and services - is CRUCIAL, especially for female creatives. 'Cuz guess who hangs out on Pinterest? Yep. YOUR PEOPLE.

So when people visit your Kajabi blog via Google, social media posts, etc., you want to make it super easy for them to Pin your articles. I personally use a Chrome extension that allows me to easily Pin from any website - but I'm an online marketer. I doubt most users of Pinterest do that. 

Ideally, you the blogger enable a "Pin It" button on all your blog images so anyone can Pin away! As with many things on your Kajabi blog, you'll find, well, "there's no plugin for that!" Guess who found another solution? Ya' girl Erika, that's who! 

Here's how to enable a Pinterest "Pin It" button on your Kajabi blog. Iin fact, it'll work on your whole site, yee haw!

1. Go to Pinterest widget builder.

2. Set up your button the way...

Ever since the "GDPR Panic" of May 2018, we've all been getting our sites in compliance, right? One thing you may still need to add to your Kajabi website is a cookie consent banner. Basically, it let's all your visitors know that your site does use cookies and what your policies are regarding them. 

How to Add a Cookie Consent Banner to Your Kajabi Site

1. Go to https://www.websitepolicies.com/create/cookie-consent-banner. It's open source and free. 

2. Using the Configuration Wizard, set up 1. Position, 2. Layout, and 3. Colors to your liking.

3. For 4. Cookie Policy, you can paste in the link to your existing one. For instance, my cookie policy is part of my Privacy Policy, so I pasted the link to my Privacy Policy page here.

If you don't have a cookie policy or would like to have one separate from your privacy policy, it appears you can generate one here on the site. It says it's free but please note that when I got to this...
