I am starting a free training series called the Course Creation Alchemy Formula. Learn how to plan, validate, create, market, and launch your course quickly to generate our gold for the people you serve.
A common question on Facebook Groups related to online courses and marketing is what is the best platform to use?
Also people want ideas about changing from various platforms or WordPress and a combination of plugins.
Platforms include MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, Podia, Kajabi, Teachable, ClickFunnels, and more.
There are always a few people like me suggesting Kartra as an all-in-one business platform.
Based on my experience and the general consensus of recommendations is that Kartra and Kajabi are both solid solutions for a wide range of applications including online courses and memberships, and that ClickFunnels is great if the main focus in sales landing pages.
All worthy platforms.
My choice is Kartra.
Sales Landing Pages
Automated Sales Campaign
Mail lists with Broadcasts and Automated Sequences
Membership Sites and Online Courses
Video Hosting
Affiliate Management
Booking Calendars
Websites
More, …
See the Kartra Site for a detailed description and videos.
Test Drive Offer
If you would like to test drive Kartra, here is my special offer.
We have a video chat to discuss your business and what you want to do with a platform like Kartra.
I will give you an honest assessment of how well Kartra is for what you want to do.
If you want to give Kartra a try, then sign up for the 14 Day Free Trial.
I will help you do the initial setup and get you started on the components for your first projects.
At the end of the 14 days, you can decide if you want to continue with Kartra.
You can also decide if you want to continue on your own or want to retain me to do some or all of the Kartra work. I offer a wide range of paid Kartra and Marketing Concierge Services.
I can also run your projects from my account rather than sign up for your own account, though for most businesses it is better to have your own account.
Contact me at gregdixon@gregdixonwriting.com to set up an appointment to discuss your business and Kartra.
I recently wrote a book called Launch Your Online Course in 14 Days with Kartra Roadmap and was giving it away as a carrot to sign up for the related membership course for a discounted $27 a month (from $97).
I just changed it to offer the Roadmap AND the Membership Course AND Bonus Memberships for $7 a month with a FOUNDERSPECIAL coupon. Am I nuts to offer this for $7?
Kartra is a fantastic all-in-one platform capable of providing almost everything you need to thrive as an online business.
Create stunning landing pages and content pages.
Implement simple or insanely complex sales funnels.
One of my favorite features is email sequences. Write a short or long series of emails that go out at intervals you set. Perfect for short courses delivered by email or as part of your sales strategy.
More compulsive!
Write emails and broadcast them when inspired. Many of the successful markers I follow, such as Dave Dee, Kim Walsh Phillips, and Ray Edwards, send out email every day.
Add in membership sites, video, help desks, payment gateways, affiliate programs, and a growing ability to create gorgeous websites, and you have a very powerful marketing toolbox.
Comparable platforms include InfusionSoft, Kajabi, and ClickFunnels. All great platforms that do similar things.
Many Moving Parts
With Kartra and all of the other platforms, there can be a lot of moving parts. You may have seen sales funnels graphed out that make your head spin.
And sometimes, it takes some time to figure out how to get the parts to work together.
One stumbling block is connecting a sales funnel with a product. You need to complete the two separately, then connect them.
I was a beta tester for Kartra and have had experience with most of the features and quirks.
Kartra Whisperer Services
There are many ways I can help you with your projects:
Coach you through the subtleties to do it yourself.
Work with you to implement Kartra components that you need.

On a fee basis, the whole package is worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Assuming I love your offerings and we think there is a market, I can help build it out for a monthly retainer and a percentage of revenues.
Here is one possibility:
Small monthly retainer for building out the Complete Membership Program.
20% of sales revenues to share in the success.
20% of sales revenues available for affiliates.
As you prosper, I prosper.
You would earn 60% to 80% of the revenues, depending on how many sales are through affiliates.
