I watched the Kajabi videos with some legitimate interest because Andy makes excellent videos.
I was immediately thinking about using it to power my websites and possibly for clients too.
So when it launched a few days ago, I took the trial.
Once I logged in, I knew within a few minutes that this wouldn’t work for me (and therefore I couldn’t recommend it to you).
BTW… how many of the promotions you’ve seen in the last week cam from people who actually tried the software out first before recommending it?
Back to the story:
I canceled my account the next day.
Here’s why…
What I discovered was that the administration area running the show was unbelievably UNINTUITIVE!
I am a smart dude.
Anyone who has ever spoken to me or purchased one of my courses should know that.
I spent over an hour fiddling with everything and trying to set up one page to see what it would look like in the templates…
… and not only did it seem like it took 5 hours, I couldn’t figure it out at all.
I uploaded a video and it jacked up the size and formatting… and it’s not like I didn’t look for some settings to change the size, I did.
But this humble user couldn’t figure it out.
The bottom line, is this will probably take me longer to figure out, than Paypal’s API (which if you stack teh words on top of each other is higher than Atlanta’s Bank of America Building… that’s over 30 stories).
If you’re looking for USER-FRIENDLY I can not honestly recommend Kajabi.
Unless you have NEVER touched an html editor before I would steer clear of this.
There’s many resources available online that do almost everything and more.
And besides, who wants to leave WordPress, the world’s single most powerful publishing platform bar none… WordPress in gangsta period.
(and putting multiple systems together is not as big a deal as he makes it out to be)
He says Kajabi puts everything under one roof.
Then a few minutes later he says that you’ll be integrating into your favorite shopping cart and autoresponder service.
NOTE: he’s only integrated with 3 or 4 solutions and there’s no option to do a “generic” integration so if you don’t use Paypal only, Infusionsoft or 1ShoppingCart, then you’re pretty left high and dry.
And who’s he kidding, InfusionSoft is no one’s favorite… even their users wish there was a way out! (just ask them)
So in fact, Kajabi is also integrating multiple services together like he was saying is bad.
BOTTOM LINE:
I’m not saying Kajabi doesn’t work.
I’m not saying it completely sucks (I really like the drip content features)
I’m not saying you won’t like it.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t try it out.
I’m just saying this guy can’t give you his recommendation.

At the end of the day, the fancy videos sold me in, but the product pushed me out.
