What Kinds of Products Can You Create and Sell with Kajabi?
Updated
Kajabi is an all-in-one platform for turning expertise into sellable products and recurring revenue. According to Kajabi’s own site, it supports online courses, coaching programs, communities, memberships, newsletters, and podcasts — with marketing tools included so you can build, sell, and grow a knowledge business in one place. It’s best suited to experts, creators, coaches, and solopreneurs who want to sell knowledge-based products rather than physical goods.
The Six Core Product Types
Kajabi’s homepage frames its value as replacing “six separate tools” with one platform. Those six product areas are:
| Product type | What it is | How it makes money |
|---|---|---|
| Courses | Structured online learning content | One-time or tiered sales of a scalable digital product |
| Coaching | Direct work with clients through structured programs | Premium pricing, with scheduling and payments built in |
| Communities | A dedicated space for members to connect | Retention-driven revenue, often bundled with other offers |
| Memberships | Ongoing access to content, connection, or support | Predictable recurring revenue |
| Newsletters | Email and web publishing for thought leadership | Building a paying audience and feeding other offers |
| Podcasts | Publish, host, and monetize audio | Audience growth that pulls listeners into your ecosystem |
Courses: Scalable Digital Products
Kajabi describes courses as a way to “turn your knowledge into a scalable product that sells without trading time for money.” This is the classic knowledge-business model: package what you know into a structured curriculum, sell it repeatedly, and avoid one-to-one delivery. If your goal is to escape trading hours for income, courses are the most direct fit.
Coaching: Premium, Structured Programs
Coaching on Kajabi is positioned for working “directly with clients at premium prices,” with structured programs, scheduling, and payments built in. This suits practitioners who sell transformation through direct engagement rather than self-paced content — and who want the admin (scheduling, payment collection) handled inside the same platform.
Communities and Memberships: Recurring Revenue
Kajabi separates these two but links them closely. Communities are framed around connection and retention — “a space people return to.” Memberships are framed around predictable income from ongoing access to content, connection, or support. In practice, these often work together: a membership gives people ongoing access, and the community is where that access feels valuable. If you want recurring rather than one-time revenue, this pair is the core of that model.
Newsletters and Podcasts: Audience Growth Engines
Newsletters are described as a tool for sharing thought leadership and building a paying audience through email and web publishing in one place. Podcasts are positioned for growing authority and reach while pulling listeners into your ecosystem — publish, host, and monetize without a third-party feed. These are less about direct product sales and more about feeding the courses, coaching, and memberships above.
Who This Fits — and Who It Doesn’t
A good fit if you:
- Sell knowledge, expertise, or transformation (teaching, coaching, advising)
- Want courses, coaching, community, and email under one roof instead of stitching together separate tools
- Are building toward recurring revenue through memberships or communities
- Want to grow an audience with newsletters or podcasts alongside your paid offers
Probably not a fit if you:
- Sell physical products or run an e-commerce store
- Only need a simple email tool or a standalone course host
- Want to sell services unrelated to knowledge or expertise
Kajabi’s own framing is explicit: it is “the operating system for human expertise.” The site cites $12B+ earned by experts, 100K+ businesses built, and 75M+ customers served, and features creators across content, coaching, and fitness niches — useful context for the scale of businesses the platform is designed around, though individual results will vary.
Practical Considerations Before You Choose
- Pricing: Kajabi links to a pricing page and promotes a limited-time offer of 50% off for six months. Check the pricing page directly for current plans and terms, since offers change.
- Consolidation vs. best-of-breed: The all-in-one pitch is convenience and fewer integrations. The trade-off is that specialist tools may go deeper in any single area. Decide whether simplicity or maximum depth matters more for your business.
- Start with one product: You don’t need all six types at once. A common path is a course or coaching offer first, then a membership or community for recurring revenue, with a newsletter supporting both.
If your business is built on what you know, Kajabi covers the main ways to package and sell it — courses, coaching, communities, memberships, newsletters, and podcasts — inside a single platform.
