Rekindle
Run Another Cohort Round With Your Course — Without Rebuilding Anything
Your existing content can re-enroll, re-engage, and re-charge. Most course platforms stop at launch day.

The standard course platform playbook ends at checkout. You upload your lessons, build a sales page, send your launch emails, and watch enrollment roll in. Then month two arrives. Your completion rate is somewhere between 20% and 35%. Your email list has stopped asking questions. The students who bought in week one are either done or gone quiet, and the platform you're paying $99–$199/month for has no mechanism to bring them back.
This is where Teachable, Thinkific, and Kajabi all stop. They are launch tools. Their dashboards measure sales and lesson uploads. None of them have a cohort round scheduler, a drip sequence that fires by week number rather than calendar date, or a re-enrollment campaign that targets past buyers specifically. If you want to run a live round of your existing course, you are doing it manually: a ConvertKit broadcast, a Zoom kickoff, and a spreadsheet to track who's actually showing up.
Rekindle is built for the part that comes after launch. It turns your existing course into a recurring revenue event by giving you a cohort round builder, automated week-by-week drip sequences, and re-enrollment campaigns that reach your past buyers at the right moment. You keep your course where it is. Rekindle handles the cadence.
What Compounds in Months Two Through Six When There's No Re-Engagement System
By month three, the students who bought during your launch have split into three groups. About a third finished, or came close. Another third made it halfway and stalled. The last third opened lesson one, got busy, and haven't been back. None of these groups is hearing from you in any structured way, because your platform doesn't have a way to send different messages to students based on where they are in the material.
By month five, you've thought about running a second cohort round. You draft an email. You realize you have no enrollment page for a specific start date. You would need to duplicate your course, set different access dates, and manually tag everyone who signs up for round two versus your evergreen students. You don't do it. You put out another content piece instead and tell yourself you'll figure out the cohort logistics later.
By month six, your course is still there. Your knowledge is still good. The students who stalled at 40% still want to finish. They just have no reason to open the platform today, because nothing has changed since the last time they logged in. The course platform sent them a login reminder six weeks ago. That's the last automated touch they received.
Introducing Rekindle
Rekindle gives course creators the infrastructure to run live cohort rounds with their existing content. You set the start date, the seat cap, and the weekly drip schedule once. Rekindle generates the enrollment page, sends the welcome sequence, fires weekly prompts on the right day for each student, and exports your alumni list when the round closes. It plugs into the course platform you already use and the email tool you already have.
What You Get — Starting at $49/month
Cohort round builder — Set start date, end date, seat cap, and price for each live round. Gets you a standalone enrollment page with a countdown timer and cohort-specific welcome email, separate from your evergreen sales page.
Week-by-week drip sequences — Write your lesson prompts, reflection questions, and check-ins once. Rekindle sends them on the correct calendar day for every student in that round, based on their enrollment date.
Re-enrollment campaign templates — Four email sequences targeting past buyers: a "come back and finish" series for non-completers, a "new cohort starting" announcement, an alumni pricing offer, and a 90-day win-back for buyers who went completely quiet.
Completion milestone triggers — When a student hits 25%, 50%, or 100% of lessons, Rekindle sends a message automatically. You decide whether it's a congratulations, an upsell to a next product, or a testimonial request.
Live round dashboard — One screen with enrollment count, weekly completion rate, and a list of students who are behind the current week's pace. Updated daily.
Student activity feed — Per-student view showing last login, lessons completed, and whether they've opened the week's drip email. Lets you know who needs a personal note before you send one to everyone.
Cohort-gated discussion threads — Optional per-cohort discussion board, visible only to students in that round. Threads close automatically when the cohort ends, so there's nothing to moderate afterward.
Alumni list export — After each cohort closes, exports a segmented CSV of completers, non-completers, and drop-offs, formatted for ConvertKit, Mailchimp, or ActiveCampaign.
Why $49/Month
A single cohort round with 20 students at $200/seat brings in $4,000. Running that round on Kajabi alone means four to six hours of manual setup per round: duplicating the course, configuring access dates, tagging enrollees in your email tool, and writing the drip sequence from scratch each time. At any reasonable hourly rate, that's $400–600 in time before a single student enrolls. Rekindle Solo is $49/month. The Studio plan, at $99/month, adds cohort-gated discussion threads, unlimited rounds, and the student activity feed. Both plans include a 14-day free trial. If you run one additional cohort round per quarter that you otherwise wouldn't have, the tool pays for itself in the first hour of enrollment.
Who This Is For
You've already launched a course and have at least 50 past buyers in your list.
You've thought about running a live cohort round but haven't because the logistics felt like a second job.
Your course completion rate is below 50% and you'd rather fix that than build a new product.
You're paying for Kajabi, Teachable, or Thinkific and want to get more revenue from content you've already built.
You want re-enrollment to happen automatically, not because you remembered to send a broadcast.
The Second-Round Guarantee
If your first cohort round through Rekindle doesn't re-enroll at least five past buyers or generate new paid enrollments, we'll work with you directly to fix the sequence until it does, or refund your first two months. Email us the round results and we respond within one business day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Rekindle work with existing course platforms for re-engaging course students?
Rekindle connects to your course platform via a webhook or Zapier integration to track student lesson progress. Your course content stays where it is. Rekindle handles the cohort schedule, drip emails, and enrollment page. Students log in to your existing platform exactly as before.
Rekindle vs. Kajabi or Teachable for running a second cohort: what's the difference?
Kajabi and Teachable are built to host and sell a course. Neither has a cohort round scheduler, per-week drip sequences keyed to a student's enrollment date, or re-enrollment campaigns targeting past non-completers. You can approximate this in Kajabi with sequences and tags, but it requires manual configuration for every round. Rekindle runs the cohort cadence as a separate layer on top of whatever platform you already use.
How long does it take to set up a cohort round in Rekindle?
Most creators set up their first cohort round in under two hours: connect your course platform, import your past buyer list, choose a start date, and write or paste your weekly drip messages. The enrollment page generates automatically. If you use the re-enrollment templates, they're ready to send with light editing.
I run an evergreen course. Does a cohort model make sense for me?
Cohort rounds and evergreen enrollment aren't mutually exclusive. Many creators keep their evergreen funnel running and add one or two scheduled live rounds per year for buyers who want the accountability structure. Rekindle supports both simultaneously. If you've never run a live round, the first one typically brings in past buyers who stalled and want a structured reason to come back.
What it is: A cohort round and re-engagement system for creators who already have a course and want it to earn again.
What you get: Cohort round builder, week-by-week drip sequences, re-enrollment email templates, completion milestone triggers, live round dashboard, student activity feed, cohort-gated discussion threads, alumni export.
Price: Solo $49/month (2 active rounds). Studio $99/month (unlimited rounds + discussion threads + activity feed). 14-day free trial.
Catch: Rekindle tracks engagement and runs sequences, but it doesn't replace your course platform. Your lessons stay on Teachable, Kajabi, or wherever they live.
Guarantee: If your first cohort round doesn't re-enroll at least five past buyers or generate new paid enrollments, we'll fix the sequence with you or refund your first two months.
