Social media is a goldmine for marketing your Kajabi course. With billions of active users, platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn offer excellent opportunities to connect with your target audience.

Create informative blog posts, videos, and podcasts related to your course’s topic to position yourself as an authority in your niche.

The Secret is to share your content across various platforms and encourage your audience to sign up for your course.

Collaboration is a powerful tool in the world of marketing. Look for strategic partnerships with influencers, other course creators, or relevant brands in your industry. By cross-promoting each other’s offerings, you can tap into each other’s audiences and expand your reach.

Optimizing SEO for Course Visibility:

To boost your course’s visibility in search engines, you need to optimize your website and course content for SEO. Identify relevant keywords and incorporate them into your website’s meta tags, headings, and content.

Additionally, create a blog section on your Kajabi website and publish SEO-friendly articles regularly to attract organic traffic.

Hosting Engaging Webinars and Live Events:

Webinars and live events are excellent opportunities to showcase the value of your Kajabi course and connect with your audience in real-time. Deliver valuable insights and actionable tips during these events, and offer exclusive discounts or bonuses for attendees who enroll in your course.

5 Amazing Stories To Aid Your Success Journey..

August 17, 2023 by Dan Lok

When you look at successful people online what do you see?

Do you see their cars, houses, clothes, and lifestyle and think…

“How did they even get started?”

“How hard did they have to work, or did they work smart instead?”

“What skills did they acquire to get to where they are?”

Well, if you had similar thoughts to those above, you’ll love this week’s newsletter…

Because today, you’ll discover how well-known influencers got their start in business and the skills they developed to achieve great success.

So, let’s get started.

How a Former Drug Addict Became a $600 Million Real Estate Tycoon

After losing his father and his older brother, a young Italian man from Lake Charles, Louisiana turned to drugs and alcohol at age 16.

Despite life’s many challenges being thrown at him he graduated high school and earned a university degree in accounting.

He got his start as a salesman in car dealerships, located throughout Texas and California.

It wouldn’t be until age 25 that he began to seek help and get his life together.

He attended rehab, where his counselor told him he’d “fail in the real world.”

This only pushed him to prove his counselor wrong.

He first saw success as a Consultant to car dealerships helping them with their sales and marketing, and he used this money to branch out into real estate.

Today, he’s the CEO of multiple companies, has a net worth of around $600 million, and is a world-renowned author, speaker, investor, coach, and sales trainer.

His name is Grant Cardone, and his first high income skill was closing.

How A Shy Student Built an 8 Figure Online Empire

After nearly flunking out of a United Kingdom college due to a gaming addiction, a young Malaysian man returned home unemployed, broke, and $42,200 in debt.

He managed to land a job paying $330 per month.

One day while showering he had a stark realization.

There was no way he’d be able to pay off his college debt on his salary.

He searched “How to make money online”, and began implementing some of what he’d learned.

After 7 months, he made his first $7 dollars online.

After receiving the Paypal notification he rushed into his mother’s room to tell her the great news.

“It’s only $7. You’ve been at this for 7 months already.”

She was right but he knew that if he could repeat this over and over again then this was just the beginning.

What happened over the next 7 years was nothing short of amazing.

He built an 8 figure empire that continues to grow.

Today he is an author, speaker, and on stage closer, but his first high income skill was digital marketing.

His name is Peng Joon, and in his words “Marketing is the skill that pays the bills.”

How a Belarusian Immigrant Became a Digital Marketing Mogul

After immigrating to the US from Belarus in 1978 a young boy lived in a studio apartment in Queens, New York with eight family members.

He started his first business (a lemonade franchise) at age 7 and sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of baseball cards during high school.

While working at his father’s liquor store he took over operations and launched it online in the mid 2000’s

He grew the liquor store from $4 million to $60 million a year.

He co-founded VaynerMedia with his brother in 2009, without raising startup capital.

In 9 years they grew their company to 800 employees, servicing large companies such as PepsiCo, General Electric, Johnson and Johnson, Chase, and many more.

He is of course Gary Vee, and today he is an serial entrepreneur, influencer, highly paid speaker, angel investor, 5x NYT bestselling author, and CEO.

He describes himself as a “purebred entrepreneur” and his first skill was sales.

How a Kid From the Ghetto Became Known as The Trillion Dollar Man

Growing up in the tough Varrios of East Los Angeles, Daniel was in and out of trouble.

His father believed in tough love, and never accepted any nonsense from his kids.

Dan spent many nights in jail for various alcoholic incidents, and his father once instructed his friends in the police force to beat Dan and teach him a lesson.

He got his start as a financial analyst on Wall Street and went on to become the president of Houston-based oil company, Western Resources Inc. A company which listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1984.

He grew Western Resources to $450 million at a time when oil prices had collapsed.

Throughout his career, he’s had many great achievements including being number #1 in real estate sales while still in graduate school.

He’s been a speaker and business coach for many years and lives in Guthrie Castle in Scotland.

He is none other than my second mentor, The 1 Trillion Dollar man, Mr. Dan Peña.

His first high income skill was closing.

How a Chinese Immigrant Who Couldn’t Speak English Become a World-class Speaker

I’ll spare you the suspense here because this next story is mine.

If you don’t know my full story, I immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong with my mother at 14.

I couldn’t speak a word of English.

I was shy, introverted, and unconfident.

I was bullied often.

I got into business out of necessity to provide for my mom when my father went bankrupt and could no longer send us money.

But, things weren’t all smooth sailing.

I failed at 13 businesses and amassed $150K of debt by the time I hit my late teens.

I had a chance meeting with my first mentor and successful entrepreneur Alan Jacques at one of his events.

He taught me my first high income skill, which was Copywriting.

Over the years I would add consulting, closing, digital marketing, and speaking to my toolbelt.

I’d make multiple six figures in my early twenties.

I’d speak all over North America to thousands of people.

I started multiple online businesses, some of which were extremely successful.

I retired twice at age 27 and 30 and got bored fast.

I started an education business in 2017 that hit 8 figures in under 10 months.

Today, I’m the Chairman of Dragon 100™, and the managing partner of the DragonX Capital venture capital firm.

I’m also a professional speaker and online influencer with tens of millions of followers.

My first high income skill as I mentioned was Copywriting…

And I write this newsletter to you today to show you that none of the people featured here were born into money.

None of us were born with a silver spoon in our mouths.

We all worked extremely hard to get to where we are, but we’ve all achieved something amazing and continue to impact millions with our message.

We all started with a skill, and then added more skills as we progressed on our journey.

And if we can do it, so can you.

But you have to start somewhere.

If you’re yet to develop your first high income skill, that’s a great place to start.

Is Closing The Skill For You?

August 17, 2023 by Dan Lok

In business, nothing happens until a sale is made…

This is why I believe sales is the #1 business skill.

So, in this week’s newsletter we’ll talk all about closing sales.

My goal with this newsletter is to help you decide whether closing is the skill for you to develop this year, so you can go on to impact businesses with your skills…

And in doing so, create a financially successful, location independent life you love.

So to kick this newsletter off, click here to watch this video on the Art of Closing Sales >>

When you watch it, you’ll discover the 3 things you could get from a sales interaction, and how to use a “No” to your advantage.

The 3 Levels of Closing

When you hear the word ‘closing’, what comes to mind?

Perhaps you think of someone selling over the phone.

Perhaps it’s someone selling to a small group of people.

Or perhaps they’re selling from the stage to a large crowd.

Whatever you think closing is right now…

I want you to watch this video so you get an idea of the 3 levels of closing and where you should get started >> …

And why even if you have aspirations to get to level 3, you shouldn’t skip any steps.

How To Close At The Beginning Of The Call

How you start your sales call is very important.

But you may be surprised to know that the closing process starts BEFORE you even get on the phone with your prospect.

Now some of the things you’ll discover in a moment may be out of your control as a closer…

Because the business owner will have to take care of them.

But imagine how invaluable you’ll be to a business you close for if you make some of these suggestions?

If you want to know how to “pre-sell” your prospects before you get on the phone, then click here to watch this powerful video >>

This video will also give you a good idea of what to look for in a potential client, so you know who you should do business with.

5 Powerful Questions To Ask Your Prospects

If you’ve been following my work for a while, you’ll know I think old school sales methods are out of date and no longer work.

With that said, there are still salespeople who use these methods, and all they do is talk AT the prospect.

They get through the entire presentation without knowing anything about their prospect.

What sets average salespeople apart from high ticket closers are questions.

So, here’s a VERY compelling video for you >>

As you watch, don’t underestimate the POWER of these simple questions.

How To Use Reverse Psychology and Catch Your Prospect Off Guard

When you speak with prospects, you’re not always going to get people who are 10 out of 10 and ready to take action on your offer.

Oftentimes, people know they have a problem that needs solving so they book in a call…

But they’re not too keen on giving you the info you need, let alone taking action to solve their problem.

Why?

Because the thought of things being different to what they’re used to scares them.

So in order to get your prospect’s needs from below a 5 to above a 5, you must use what I call reverse psychology.

Reverse psychology is a high level technique that catches your prospect off guard and almost forces them to tell you the truth.

Because if you didn’t know, PROSPECTS LIE all the time.

Click here to arm yourself with the skill of using reverse psychology >>

How To Master Your Vocal Tonality and Close More Sales

Whether you’re selling in person, over zoom, on the phone or on stage, your vocal tonality is KEY to your success.

But if you’re selling on the phone where they can’t see you, then your vocal tone is EVERYTHING.

So how to ensure you inject emotion into your closing calls and speak with the right tonality that makes your prospects want to buy?

Luckily, I’ve got you covered.

There are countless things you NEVER want to say in a closing call, but the bottom line is this…

Never sound like a typical salesperson.

If you do, you’ll lose the sale in the first few seconds.

For an example of what NOT to sound like, watch this short video >>

As far as vocal tone goes, there are many tones you could use at different times during your sales calls.

I can’t possibly address them all here, but if you want to know how to inject emotion with tonality into your sales calls, then you’ll love this video >>

What To Do When The Prospect Says No

As you may have seen in the first video of the newsletter, there are 3 things you can get out of a sales call.

A Yes
A No
A Lesson

Now, a “no” isn’t always a bad thing, especially if you’re speaking with a prospect you think would be a nightmare client.

But what if they are someone you’d like to work with?

Then you can do what I suggest in this video >>

If you implement this tactic, you’ll gain more business over time and make more money, and you’ll see why when you watch the video.

One Secret To Close More On The Phone

I’ve been closing on the phone for over a decade, and out of all the tricks and tactics I’ve learned in that time…

There is one secret that makes the biggest difference in your sales calls.

This trick switches your frame from the salesperson to the expert, and completely changes the game.

It’s easy to implement and if you want to know what it is, then click here >>

If I could give you just ONE secret that makes the BIGGEST difference to your sales calls, it would be the one in this video >>

In Closing…

There’s a lot that goes into the perfect closing call.

What I’ve given you here merely scratches the surface, but if you’d like to see me do a live sales roleplay then you’re in luck.

Click here for a roleplay I did with one of our audience members at a recent event of ours and get ready to take notes >>

I hope this newsletter has helped you decide whether you’d like to become a high ticket closer or not.

To your success,

Focus on the transformational benefits your course brings:

Address Pain Points: Clearly communicate how your course solves your audience’s pain points and challenges.
Showcase Results: Highlight success stories and testimonials from satisfied students to build trust and credibility.

Kajabi Checkout Pages: Optimizing for Conversions

August 16, 2023 by Dan Lok

Hello, fellow course creator! Welcome to our journey through Kajabi, where today, we’re diving into a crucial element of the course enrollment process – checkout pages.

These pages hold the key to turning interested visitors into eager students, and I’m here to guide you through the process of crafting highly effective checkout pages on Kajabi.

Step 1: Understanding the Importance of Checkout Pages

Checkout pages are the final frontier where potential students make the decision to invest in your course.

This pivotal moment can make or break your conversions. A poorly designed checkout page can lead to cart abandonment, while a well-optimized one can boost your sales significantly.

Step 2: Crafting High-Converting Checkout Pages

With Kajabi’s user-friendly interface, creating high-converting checkout pages is a breeze. Here’s how you can do it:

Simplified Checkout Process: Keep the checkout process simple and user-friendly. Avoid overwhelming visitors with unnecessary form fields and steps.
Clear Call-to-Action: Ensure your “Buy Now” or “Enroll Now” button stands out prominently on the page, urging visitors to take action.
Mobile Responsiveness: Optimize your checkout pages for mobile devices to cater to a wider audience.
Urgency and Scarcity: Create a sense of urgency and scarcity with limited-time offers or availability to encourage immediate action.
Trust Elements: Instill confidence in potential students by displaying trust elements such as secure payment icons, money-back guarantees, and testimonials.

Step 3: Reducing Cart Abandonment

Cart abandonment is a common hurdle in the online course industry, but it can be minimized with a few strategic tactics:

Transparent Pricing: Display clear and upfront pricing, including any additional fees, to avoid surprises during checkout.
Offer Payment Options: Provide multiple payment options to cater to different preferences and increase the chances of successful transactions.
Exit-Intent Popups: Implement exit-intent popups that offer discounts or additional incentives to win back potential abandoners.

Step 4: Analyzing Checkout Page Performance

As you optimize your checkout pages, keep a close eye on performance metrics:

Conversion Rates: Monitor conversion rates to gauge the effectiveness of your checkout pages and make data-driven improvements.
Abandonment Rate: Track cart abandonment rates and identify potential pain points in the checkout process.

Step 5: Continuous Optimization

Optimization is an ongoing process. Continuously test different elements on your checkout pages to find the winning combination that maximizes conversions.

Remember, the checkout page is the gateway to transforming prospects into paying students, so invest time and effort in creating a seamless and persuasive experience.
