Frustrated with Too Many Tools on Kajabi? Here’s How to Simplify Your Strategy
Jul 10, 2025
If you feel overwhelmed by all the tools inside Kajabi, you’re not alone.
Landing pages, pipelines, email automations, offers, products, checkouts, podcasts, communities—it’s a lot.
But here’s the truth: You don’t need to use everything to succeed.
In fact, trying to use every Kajabi feature from day one often leads to confusion, burnout, and a stalled business.
So if you're frustrated with too many tools, this blog is your permission slip to simplify your strategy—and start seeing results faster.

Step 1: Focus on the Essentials
Kajabi is designed to grow with you. That means you can—and should—start small.
Here’s what you actually need to launch a profitable offer:
✅ A clear offer
✅ One sales page
✅ One checkout
✅ A basic thank you page
✅ A welcome email
✅ Your product (course, coaching program, or digital resource)
That’s it. No funnels. No tags. No tech overwhelm.
Once this is running smoothly, you can layer in the rest.
Step 2: Map Your Customer Journey (On Paper First)
Before touching anything in Kajabi, get crystal clear on the customer path.
Ask yourself:
-
How will they find me?
-
What free value will I offer?
-
What problem do I solve with my paid offer?
-
What do I want them to do next?
Sketch the steps out on paper or a whiteboard. Once you can see the journey, it’s easier to build it simply inside Kajabi—without wasting hours clicking around.
Step 3: Ditch the Fancy Funnels (For Now)
Kajabi’s Pipelines are powerful—but unless you’re already converting with a basic setup, they can be more distraction than help.
Instead, build a simple email sequence:
-
Lead magnet → Thank you page
-
Welcome email → Value-packed follow-ups
-
Soft pitch → Clear call to action
When you master this, you’ll already be ahead of 80% of creators.
Step 4: Use Templates to Save Time
You don’t need to design from scratch.
Kajabi has built-in templates for sales pages, thank-you pages, email campaigns, and more. Start with those and tweak to suit your brand.
Bonus tip: Save your own templates inside Kajabi for reuse across products.
Step 5: Stop Comparing Your Backend to Someone Else’s Frontend
It’s easy to feel behind when you see polished brands using every Kajabi feature. But what you’re seeing is their finished result—not the years it took to get there.
Your business doesn’t need complexity. It needs clarity.
Focus on creating results for your customers with the simplest tech setup possible.
Step 6: Audit and Trim the Fat
If you’ve already built too much in Kajabi and feel lost, do a system clean-up:
-
Archive unused products
-
Delete duplicate email lists
-
Consolidate landing pages
-
Simplify your offers
-
Pause automations you’re not using
Less clutter = more clarity.
