Guide

Patreon takes a cut and keeps your fanbase behind a paywall. Kajabi gives you full ownership — of your audience, your content, and your income — with zero platform fees so you’re earning revenue, not asking for tips.

Founder of Logos Calligraphy and Design

"...people are longing for genuine connections"

"Offering an online community is a big part of the course experience for my students. The online community allows us to come alongside each other during the duration of the course. Students can ask questions, post their homework pages, receive encouragement, and engage with their classmates from around the world! Business is about connecting with people. I believe people are longing for genuine connections and having a private community has been a huge blessing to me and my students."

"...we can provide a more engaging learning experience for our students..."

"Having a great community that’s built into our Kajabi membership platform is a game changer for our business. With Kajabi Communities, we can provide a more engaging learning experience for our students and make it easier for them to connect with each. Plus, (and most importantly) our members can get their learning, support AND community all on the one platform. From a business perspective, Communities allows us to simplify announcements, notifications and challenges to our students, so it’s a win-win."
