The Ground Is Moving: Kajabi, Contra, and Building in Real Time

In this one-take episode of The Content Beach, Raya unpacks the recent changes in Kajabi—from new pricing tiers coming in January 2026 to the retirement of the Kajabi Experts directory and migration to Contra. If you’re a course creator, coach, or consultant who relies on Kajabi for delivery or lead flow, this episode helps you respond calmly and strategically, without losing momentum.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Kajabi pricing: New tiers are scheduled to take effect in January 2026—plan upgrades, migrations, and client conversations ahead of time.
• Experts directory → Contra: Kajabi has shifted the Experts marketplace to Contra, changing where and how service providers connect with clients.
• Avoid single-platform dependence: If your leads live on one platform, you’re exposed to sudden changes. Diversify gently (website SEO, LinkedIn, referral systems).
• Mindset & operations: Stability comes from simple, repeatable marketing actions and a clear system for outreach, not from chasing every platform tweak.

QUOTE-WORTHY

“When you anchor your lead generation into one platform and that platform disappears, what’s left for you?”

“There’s a paradise on the other side of change — but you need the stamina to walk through the terrain first.”

WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR
Course creators, coaches, consultants, and small teams using Kajabi who want steady systems, not chaos — especially if you’re navigating pricing changes and marketplace shifts.
