Kartra lets you build engaging membership sites that contain products your audience will love. But where to start?
Take some inspiration from these successful creators and apply it to your own design.
Key Takeaways:
- Kartra membership sites can include courses, live coaching, downloads, and more
- Sell memberships for a one-time fee, subscription plan, or payment plan
- Many creators have a free option/product to help draw in business
1. BrainSpeak
Brainspeak offers audio products designed to enhance the brain’s mental clarity and thought processes. There are over 50 different packages that individuals can buy at varying price points.
Each package contains audio tracks designed for specific purposes. The creators have achieved this by creating a course for each package and then uploading the audio files as the content.
Once purchased, users can log into their purchased package and listen to the tracks whenever they want.
Each package is available for a set price—there are no payment plan options. However, I believe it’s a good idea to offer payment plans where possible because it makes more expensive products more accessible by allowing customers to spread the cost over time.
Each Brainspeak package comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is essential for building trust and confidence in potential buyers.
2. Kelly Canull
Kelly Canull is a transformative soul life coach and offers several products on her website.
Her flagship product is an ongoing membership that provides monthly live coaching and a private community. Customers can also purchase additional coaching sessions, soul readings, and remote healings.
Right now, Kartra does not have a community feature. If you’re looking for a platform that does—I recommend Kajabi. However, this creator has opted to use Facebook for hers.
The membership is offered as a monthly or annual subscription, and annual subscribers get two free months.
3. Grass Fed Salsa
Grass Fed Salsa is a diet and nutrition site that offers numerous courses and memberships.
Interestingly, it also has an academy that teaches people how to build a profitable wellness course in 45 days.
Customers can either pay $1,497 upfront or make six installments of $274.
I noticed the pricing on another page was displayed as cheaper than the actual price. When you update pricing, update all your web pages so customers don’t feel misled.
Smaller courses are offered only for a one-time fee. All have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
4. FreedomSoft
FreedomSoft provides software for customer relationship management (CRM) specifically for the real estate market.
This is an interesting example because its courses are only available to subscribers of its software. Once they have signed up for a subscription plan, customers get login details for the membership sites.
One membership site is for a Kickstart program, and the other is a Certified Partner program.
5. Photigy
Photigy is a site that specializes in product photography. It offers a range of individual courses that teach photography skills for specific product types.
However, it also offers a subscription-based VIP membership that provides access to all courses, plus additional perks.
This is offered as a monthly or annual subscription, a four-month plan, and—most interestingly—a one-off lifetime payment of $950.
Providing multiple payment options is always a great idea because it allows customers to pick the option that best suits their budget.
6. Project Go
Designed for GoPro enthusiasts, ProjectGoPro is a site dedicated to helping people improve their filming techniques.
A few different memberships are available, such as a starter course for beginners and the Kit course for intermediates.
The Kit course is currently offered at a 70% discount, which is a great way to entice customers to buy.
The site displays customer reviews to provide social proof and build consumer confidence.
7. GuGu Gurus
GuGuGurus (try saying that fast—I bet you can’t) helps moms become content creators to earn an income.
The site looks professional, but the navigation is confusing. It was hard to find what courses were offered. When you build your site, make sure visitors can easily find your products.
Free community access is also available, but it is unclear which platform is used to facilitate this.
8. Chinese Sword Academy
Chinese Sword Academy teaches individuals Chinese sword fighting via video tutorials and live online workshops.
For $7 per month, you can access a beginner membership site, as well as study paths for specific sword types.
A tiered membership is also available. Customers can choose the tier according to how many weapons they want to learn.
Customers can also try out the content risk-free and see if it’s right for them by signing up for the seven-day free trial.
9. Wealth Builders Mastermind
Another real-estate-focused site, Wealth Builders helps realtors reach their full potential.
A membership program is available, but entry is by application only. Interested individuals must complete a form and wait for a response.
The membership site is considered a high-ticket (expensive) offer. Once accepted, members must pay either $11,988 per year or $1,099 per month.
10. PIHMA
PIHMA is an academic institute for acupuncture and herbal medicine. It features accredited courses as well as live and on-site workshops and events.
For the events, the site has used Kartra’s booking and scheduling feature.
Customers can use the calendar to pick the event they are interested in, complete the form, and secure their booking. Kartra will also send out automated email reminders as the event draws near.
Several accredited courses can also be purchased. These are either live or self-paced and provide “continuing education units.” These are required for industry professionals to maintain their knowledge and skills.
11. 7Triggers
7Triggers offers training on how to use psychology to close a deal successfully.
It provides a generous free course with numerous modules and training so individuals can get a basic knowledge of the skill.
Offering a free product is an effective way to draw in interested parties who you can then upsell to.
The main offer is a comprehensive membership site that includes coaching, support, and training content. This is offered for a one-time cost of $1,997.
12. Fabienne Louis
Fabienne Louis is a life coach offering books, courses, and live coaching. Her main website has been created using WordPress, but she uses Kartra to create landing pages for her offers.
The main offer is an Energy Reset download product. Members get downloadable audio tracks, workbooks, and daily trackers.
This is a low-ticket offer costing only $17. There are also free workshops and ebooks available.
13. Arianel Laberge
This French-Canadian creator is a spiritual advisor offering online training and in-person events.
The online content is available by subscription (monthly or annual) and includes live Zoom calls, downloadable content, and a private Facebook community.
The creator also hosts in-person events. However, she has chosen Eventbrite for signups rather than Kartra’s booking feature.
14. Louise Henry
Passive Profit Accelerator teaches individuals how to launch and sell courses using automation and AI.
The creator’s flagship course is a high-ticket offering that costs $2,497 or via a payment plan (six monthly payments of $449).
Offering bonus content like this creator’s is a strategic way to provide customers additional value and make them feel like they’re getting a great deal.
The site includes a large social proof section containing feedback from social media posts.
Adding genuine feedback from social media posts increases a site’s credibility since they are authentic and verifiable.
15. Dana Skoglund
Dana Skoglund is a life coach who offers six-month coaching programs on a cohort basis. The program is not available on demand, so interested individuals have to join a waitlist.
She also offers potential customers a free 30-minute discovery call to determine whether the program is right for them.
The creator has chosen not to use Kartra for the call booking page. Instead, she has integrated her Kartra site with Calendly.
I like the use of the dropdown FAQ section. It allows you to provide more information without cluttering the page.
Kartra has prebuilt page sections like these that you can easily add to your membership site design.
