Getting started with WebinarJam in 45 minutes

How to sign up for WebinarJam, pick the right tier for your attendee count, build a registration page, schedule your first live webinar, and run the end-to-end dry run before going live.

Before you start

  • An email address you control
  • A webcam and a quiet room for broadcast
  • A product, offer, or presentation you actually want to deliver
  • A working credit card (WebinarJam plans start at $49/mo on Starter)
1

Pick the right tier for your audience size

WebinarJam's pricing is gated by attendee count and webinar duration. Starter is $49/mo but capped at 100 attendees and 1 hour. Basic at $99/mo raises that to 500 attendees and 2 hours and — critically — includes EverWebinar at no extra cost. Most buyers pick Basic as soon as they realize the bundled EverWebinar is worth more than the upgrade itself. Don't pay for Starter if your webinar will run longer than an hour or if you plan to run evergreens later.

Sign up and complete account setup

Go to webinarjam.com, pick your tier, and complete signup. The dashboard is separated from the marketing site — after signup you're redirected to the app. Verify your email, set your timezone carefully (webinars are scheduled in the host's timezone), and upload a profile photo that will appear in the webinar room.

3

Create your first webinar configuration

From the dashboard, hit 'Create Webinar' and choose 'Live' (WebinarJam) rather than 'Automated' (EverWebinar). Fill in the title, description, and a short pitch — this copy gets reused on the registration page. Pick a single live schedule for your first run; you can convert to recurring later.

4

Customize the registration page

WebinarJam ships with several registration page templates. Pick a minimalist one for your first run — clean headline, description, date/time, name + email fields. Don't over-design. Skip the countdown banner and webinar thank-you upsell for the first event — you want to validate the technical flow first.

5

Configure the live room

This is where WebinarJam's marketing-first DNA shows up. You'll see controls for offer displays, polls, surveys, Q&A, and on-screen call-to-action buttons. For your first webinar, enable just one offer display (the product you're pitching) and one Q&A. Every additional widget is a thing that can break under pressure.

6

Connect notifications

Under the webinar's Notifications tab, configure the email sequence: registration confirmation, 24-hour reminder, 1-hour reminder, 'we're live' alert. These are built in — no third-party email tool needed. SMS is also available on higher tiers. Test the registration flow with your own email address to confirm delivery.

7

Run a full dry run

Schedule a dummy webinar for 15 minutes from now, register with a second email, and walk through the entire flow: receive the confirmation, click the webinar room link, let yourself in, test the microphone and camera, fire the offer display, run a poll, end the webinar. Fix every snag before you ever send a real registration link.

8

Go live

Send your registration URL to your list or ad audience. Join the live room 15 minutes early. Have your slides, offer display, and talking points queued up. WebinarJam records automatically — you'll be able to repurpose the replay into EverWebinar once you've validated the format.
