The DIY Course Biz Blog

One of my favorite things about Kajabi is that they never stop developing new features. This makes customers like me VERY happy! They didn't stop at providing us the ability to host online courses and membership sites, have a Kajabi site, and do our email marketing.

Nope. Since I've been a customer (late 2016), they've added features like: Pipelines (now renamed Funnels), 1:1 Coaching, Podcast, new Page templates, along with new and better Course and Site Frameworks for an overall better and better Kajabi experience. Kajabi's email feature in that time has gone from a sort of barebones way to send out promotional emails to a full-fledged, top-of-the-line mailing service provider.

Publishing a book is an exciting accomplishment!

But when the champagne bubbles fizzle out, the business piece of the puzzle sets in. To make writing a full-time career, you have to do more than publish a book. You have to build an audience, regularly release new content, and turn readers into superfans — a task list that used to be unbearable for some.

When it's time to choose an online-course or all-in-one software platform, our first focus is on the features. But I think another huge consideration should be the health of and outlook for the company we choose.

Hello and Happy Friday!

This week, I'm sharing a recent "Fireside Chat" by Kajabi's Jay (Partner Program) with Jeremy (Chief Product Officer). While it is fun to watch - complete with laptop yule log - it's also very enlightening . 

Jobs to be Done (JTBD) vs Ideal Customer Avatar (ICA)

Jeremy explains the framework that Kajabi uses to figure out what customers need and how to fulfill those needs. This includes things like:

• The "Four Forces" that drive consumer behavior
• How a "Job Story" (instead of a "Customer Avatar") helps you build better products
• What is the job that Kajabi solves for customers?

"Main job: Kajabi exists to build and scale your digital products business"

In my observation, it's a responsibility that Kajabi takes very...
