What happens when your online business on Kajabi expands into a new niche? You might think you’ll need to set up a new website with another blog, but you don’t have to. It is possible to add a secondary blog to your Kajabi website, and that has its own benefits.
In general, blogging brings a lot of advantages to an online business. It will improve your visibility on search engines, leading to high-quality organic traffic and more leads. But if you diversify into another niche, it can make your blog look messy and unfocused.
In this case, the best solution is to add a second blog and keep the two topics in their own separate blogs. With a second blog on your Kajabi site, you can continue to promote your products while also keeping your blog clean and focused.

Add a Second Blog With Kajabi
If you’re blogging with Kajabi, you can add an additional blog to your site the same way you created the first one. Go to the Website tab in your dashboard, and in Pages, select New Website Page.
However, if you’d like to try an alternative blogging tool that gives you far greater possibilities, there’s DropInBlog.
Blogging with DropInBlog
DropInBlog is a far superior blogging app to what Kajabi offers you, as it gives you more professional blogging features – both in quality and quantity – as well as arguably greater ease of use.
DropInBlog even allows you to optimize each post for SEO using the built-in SEO Analyzer. This is a unique tool that very few blogging platforms include without additional cost. Additionally, you can improve SEO by adding schema markup. Of course, you can also add categories and tags to posts, schedule posts, and manage multiple authors if needed.
When you integrate DropInBlog with your Kajabi site, the blog just slots into place and is managed entirely from the DropInBlog dashboard. Once you publish a post, it will automatically become visible on your site and with the same CSS and style you have across your Kajabi website – no time spent reformatting.
How to Add a Second Blog with DropInBlog
Adding a second blog to your Kajabi site with DropInBlog is super simple. You may choose to use DropInBlog for both of your blogs or just the additional one. If you want to use DropInblog for both, then you’ll first need to hide the Kajabi built-in blog.
Hide the Kajabi Blog
To do this, go into Websites in your Kajabi dashboard, then Pages, and click Customize on the Blog page. Under Blog Listings, you can deselect all four items and hit Save.
If you have any existing blog posts there, you’ll need to unpublish or delete them. If you choose to unpublish them, remember to repost the content again via DropInBlog once you’re set up.
Integrate DropInBlog
To Integrate DropInblog, you need to go back to the Blog Page and select Customize again. Make sure the page is completely blank, then choose Add Section. After that, select Custom Code.
Jump across to your DropInBlog account dashboard and go to Code & Layout. You’ll see two strings of code in Step 1 and Step 2. Copy both of these and paste them back into your Custom Code edit box. Now there’s only one thing left to complete the integration process.
Within Kajabi, find and copy the URL address of your blog page. In the DropInBlog dashboard, you’ll find the place to paste the URL link under Settings. Don’t forget to save the changes.

How to Keep the Kajabi Blog and Have DropInBlog Too
If you decide to stick with the built-in Kajabi blog and use DropInBlog for your secondary blog, you won’t be able to use “blog” in the URL address, as that’s the default for the Kajabi blog.
To get started, go to Website and Pages in your Kajabi dashboard. You will have to select Add New Website Page and then hit Customize. Delete any sections or blocks in the new page and continue with the same process of integrating DropInBlog that we’ve mentioned above.
