No matter what platform you use to send marketing emails to your list (including Kajabi), you may have noticed it's getting harder to get past the spam filters of popular providers like Gmail. Their algorithm is getting tougher and tougher to get through.

In fact, Gmail has one of the best "junk mail banners" in the business AND they claim a huge portion of the marketshare; not a great combination to go against for the email marketer.

You can be doing everything "right" and sending from a trusted sender (like Kajabi) and still be bummed about your deliverability rates at times. I mean, your list can't learn to know/like/trust you and eventually buy from you if you can't even get through. Frustrating!

Kajabi uses the term Event to represent a time and date which you want to surround with emails and automations. Some examples would be launches, webinars, or in-person events. It also works for automated webinars that repeat, say, weekly, where you'll receive new registrations on a rolling basis.

One sign of a successful Kajabi account is when you have the same customer sign up for and/or purchase more than one of your offerings. Normally, when they go to sign up for a second or subsequent time, Kajabi will prompt them to log in if it recognizes their email in your system.

 However, sometimes people either start off that second purchase using another one of their email addresses OR when Kajabi prompts them to sign in, they can't remember their login info so they purposely use a different email (even though they could've used the "forgot your password?" option). Hey, we get it. We've all been there, lol. 

The issue it causes for you, the Kajabi user, is that you want ALL of one person's data to be in one place - name, email, payment and purchase info, etc. So you may have the question:...

When you decide you're ready to put your first online course out into the world, it's time for some research, right? You wonder what platforms are out there, how much they cost, what features they have, etc.
