Kajabi Tutorial: Creating a Drip Course in Kajabi

If you're building a course or coaching program and you want the content of that program to go out to your students every day or every week and create a drip-style course, Kajabi makes it extremely easy.

All this is free, and you can get instant access by going to profityourknowledge.com/kajabi or clicking the link down in the description. Without further ado, let's dive into Kajabi. All right, to build out your drip course content, we're gonna wanna go to the Products tab inside of Kajabi, and you can click All Products or go to Courses as well. Regardless, we're gonna wanna click this button up here, New Course. Usually anytime you create any one of those tabs and you create a new product, it's gonna take you to this page, so it doesn't really matter which one. You pick because it's gonna ask you what kind you wanna build anyway on this page. So you can decide, you know, if you're like, I wanna make a course, and then last minute you're like, I actually wanna make this a coaching program or turn it into a podcast or community tab, you can do that. And when you click on each one of these, it gives you a little rundown of the features and what's entailed with each program. But we're making a drip course, so we're gonna stick with the course option. We'll click Get Started. and then we're gonna call this, uh, whatever the name of your course is. In this example, I'll just call it a drip course, and I'll just say, this is a drip course. Just like I had just said, uh, use this information to generate a simple course outline. That's up to you if you wanna do that. Kajabi recently started using a lot more AI to help you have a better and stronger foundation when building out courses and kind of give you templates of like 'Hey, here's some ideas to make it a better course.' I personally like to build things from scratch, but we'll leave this and just see what it looks like. So, we'll click continue, and then you can upload an image. I'm not gonna do that right now. It's not very necessary. You can decide after if you want it to be paid or free. I don't have my payment set up right now because I'm in my partners tab. This isn't my main tab. It shows you more from scratch, or you can skip for now. I'm just gonna leave it for free right now. Not as big of a deal. So it's gonna take a second to build it out. Okay, so just FYI, that took like 3 to 5 minutes to, uh, to build out this course just by having that little toggle switch with like the AI stuff. So I don't recommend switching that. I think it's a lot easier just to not have that and create your program from scratch. Uh, but anyway, that's a new thing that they started adding. So I was just kind of like, yeah, let's see what happens. So now we want to start building out the drip course. If you look, when you start building out a course, it's gonna show that it's always a draft. So you wanna make sure things are published, or you can say drip. Right here, this is the set drip days after enrollment. So if I was going to build a drip course and I had students just pay for my course, I'd want them to have the first module unlocked right away. I wouldn't want it to go out 7 days. So, you know, when they, as soon as they pay, they log into their program, they're gonna have the first set of videos completely there. So we'll hit publish on this first one, and we'll just make sure that all the first set of videos under this module are published. Okay, so as soon as somebody signs up for your program, they just paid for it, they're gonna get access to that first module, first set of videos. Now after that, what I would do is go down here and make drip. So here's the thing with a drip course and drip content, their drip specifications, like when the next video is going to drip, is the amount of days after someone pays for your course. Okay, so let me show you what I mean. You want this to be, I would go 7 days, so every week a new module is published for the person when they go through the course. So the first module they get access to it, the next one is gonna come out be unlocked for them a week after they had paid for the course. So we'll click done, and then this one we're gonna make it a drip for this next module. In this instance, we have 1, 2, 3, 4 modules that each have their own set of content inside of here. Okay, so we'll go publish, we'll make sure all this stuff is published. This is after you've built out your course, but this module isn't going to be released until 7 days after someone had paid for it. Okay, down here we'll do another drip. We're gonna make this one 14 days. See, if we did 7 days again, it's not gonna be 7 days after this module gets published for the person. It's 7 days after the person paid for it. They got access to the first module, 7 days later the second one, 14 days later the next one. So that's another week, alright? And then this one we would do 21. All right, and so on, so forth, if you happen to have more modules than this. So the way this works, yeah, again, someone pays for your course, they get that first module access to it right away, all the videos inside the first module. A week later, they're gonna get notified that they have access to the second module. A week after that, they'll get notified about the third. Week after that, notified about the 4th. What's cool about you just changing this little button right here and deciding on the amount of days, Kajabi is automatically going to get notified inside their system that you want this to be a drip course, and they will automatically send emails just because you made that switch to having it be a drip rather than published to the people who have paid for this course. So there are a couple little things that we need to pay attention to in terms of the settings. So we'll go down to the settings tab. What we wanna do is go down to drip settings. So this is where you can decide, configure what day of, or what time of day drip modules will become available to your customers. Let's say that you want this to, they want, you want access, or them to get access to the new drip content at 7:00 AM Pacific Standard Time. You can choose whatever time zone you want as well. And then you can decide right here, send an email to customers when product modules are dripped. So at 7 AM, a week after they had paid for the program, automatically they're gonna get an email and get the next module completely unlocked for them. Okay, but you can decide on what time makes sense for you, what time zone, etc., etc. We're not quite done. So once you get the drip settings done, then we're gonna go down to email templates. You click that, we want to go down to member drip notification. We'll click the little pencil, and then you can decide what you want this email to say. Okay, what I always recommend is do not mess with these. This is the, the liquid— what I call liquid objects available. Okay, liquid markup is what they call it. So it's gonna make sure if you just leave those alone, you can change all this other text. New content available for you at you know, whatever site detail, Profit Your Knowledge is what it would say right there. Or you can even copy down here like the product name if you wanted to, like product title right here. So you could put that, you could copy this and then put it right here. Yeah, you just don't want to mess with this because it's like its own little code, so it's gonna register what product the person's in because you're not making a drip email for for each individual course, you're making a singular drip email template for every one of your courses or products that you decide to have be drip content. So if you have 3 different courses, you can't just put in the name of the course in this email because then if someone's in a different course that is also drip, they're gonna get this same email template and they're like, that's not the course that I paid for. So that's why we wanna leave the liquid markup just as it is. But again, you can change out this text. Alright, and then yeah, just kind of play around with this, just keep an eye that you're not messing up the liquid markup or any of that stuff, and you can always send a test email to make sure that it looks the way that you want it to look at, or can just preview in browser as well. Alright, and that's really all there is to creating a drip content course. Alright, so we can go back to products, and then yeah, drip course right there. This is just a regular mini course that I had built as an example. But yeah, now you— if you want to change up the content in here, you can do that. You can decide if you want to lock different modules. If you leave it as drip, it'll automatically lock it for you. What I love about Kajabi is that, yeah, just changing it to become a drip course, it's going to automatically register that and it's going to automatically send out the emails. You just have to kind of fine-tune to make sure that everything's going out the time you want it to, and that that drip email template is gonna say what you want it to say to get someone into the course. Drip content is really great. You know, if you, it can be a little overwhelming if you have a huge course with like 10 different modules and 20 videos plus. It's kinda nice just to have like a small set of videos. They can just focus on that. You can even add an assessment as well if you want at the end of each module. So in that first week, they can have a little quiz or a test. And then their drip content gets unlocked for the next module, and at the end of that module, there's a little assessment or quiz to test their knowledge of whatever it is that you shared inside of that course. So there's a lot of ways to play the game, but these are the most important features that I would be considering if I was creating a drip course, or drip content style course, if that makes sense. Let me know down in the comments what you think about the drip style course inside of Kajabi. If you have any extra questions, if it makes sense, maybe I'll make another video if enough people are asking the same kind of question. But that's really all there is to it. Take what you learned here, give Kajabi a shot if you haven't tried it yet. Get the hands-on approach, try it for 30 days using my link, profityourknowledge.com/kajabi, and I will see you in the next one.
