How to Make Your First $10K on Kajabi – Quick Start Guide

Simple, Step-by-Step Game Plan for Coaches, Speakers, Trainers, Creators, and Digital Entrepreneurs

by Dave Gambrill

Hey friend—if you’re new to Kajabi and want to earn your first $10K (or just get unstuck), this is your roadmap. You can build this system in a weekend using nothing more than your knowledge, a laptop, and Kajabi’s built-in tools.

You can get an exclusive 30 Day Trial to Kajabi now via my special referral link at https://gambrill.com/30daykajabi 🔥

That way you can build as you learn from this guide (PDF version available and end of this description).

Here's the play:

🧠 Step 1: Know Who You’re Talking To

Get ultra-clear on your ideal customer. Hint: it’s often the previous version of you. What were you struggling with before you figured it out? Build for that person. Talk to them.

🎯 Step 2: Create a Quick Win

Make a simple lead magnet that solves one specific problem fast—a cheat sheet, checklist, or short guide. Keep it actionable and light (no 47-page PDFs, please). Deliver it as a PDF using Kajabi’s automations.

Pro Tip: Add a PS/PPS in your delivery email to spark organic referrals and grow your list faster.

🛬 Step 3: Build Your Opt-In Page in Kajabi

Use Kajabi’s landing page builder to create a clean, focused page with a headline, subheadline, and name/email form. That’s it. Don’t overthink the design—just get it live.

💰 Step 4: Turn the Thank-You Page Into a Mini Offer

After someone opts in, show a short thank-you video (2–3 mins) and offer a 45–60 minute mini-course for $27–$47. It should build on the freebie and give even more value. Record it with Zoom or Loom and upload it as a Kajabi course.

💵 Step 5: Attach an Offer + Checkout

Now create an offer in Kajabi tied to your mini-course. Set the price, customize the checkout, and link it to the thank-you page. You’re now making money while building trust—win-win.

📈 Step 6: Add a 1-Click Coaching Upsell

Offer a 90-day support package as an upsell after the mini-course purchase. Use Kajabi’s built-in coaching tool. Price it $500–$1,000+, and keep it simple—just 1–2 calls a month. You’re helping your people go further, faster.

📣 Step 7: Share Your Lead Magnet (Everywhere)

Start posting helpful content related to your niche. Share your lead magnet in your posts, stories, Reels, email footer—anywhere you’re showing up. No fancy ads required. Be generous, show up, and keep pointing to your freebie.

✅ Recap: The Simple 7-Step System

1. Define your ideal customer (the previous you)

2. Create a lead magnet that delivers a quick win

3. Build an opt-in page in Kajabi

4. Add a thank-you page with a $27–$47 mini-course

5. Attach the offer and enable checkout

You’ve got this.

Now go build your first $10K Kajabi system and unleash the awesome.
