WebinarJam Review and Tutorial: Create and Run a Webinar

This Webinarjam review and tutorial covers everything you need to know to run a webinar.

WebinarJam is worth considering if you want to run live training or sales webinars with registration pages, reminders, polls, offers, and follow-up in one workflow. In this review and tutorial, I walk through creating a webinar and using the presenter room so you can see what running an event actually involves.

My WebinarJam review: who it suits

The appeal for me is having the presentation and marketing steps together. You can build a registration page, send reminders, show an offer during the session, and follow up afterward. That is useful for product demos, workshops, coaching, and sales presentations.

The tradeoff is setup. You still need a clear presentation, working registration flow, and useful follow-up. If you just want an internal team call, a meeting tool may be enough. If you want a recorded presentation to run repeatedly, read my WebinarJam vs EverWebinar comparison.

1. Create the webinar

From the dashboard, add a webinar and choose express or full configuration. In the video, I start with express configuration to get the basics in place, then return to full configuration for more control. You do not need to perfect every setting before you can explore the room.

Give the webinar an internal name you can recognize in your dashboard, then add the public title and description your audience will see. Add your presenters and choose the language. Keep the public title focused on what someone will learn.

2. Choose the right schedule

A single webinar can have more than one available time for the same presentation. A series works differently: attendees register for multiple sessions, such as a short course. Recurring sessions suit ongoing training or coaching. Choose the format that matches the promise on your registration page.

Check the time zone carefully, including what attendees see after registration. Before advertising a date, confirm that your plan supports the session length and number of presenters you need.

3. Build the registration page

Choose a registration template and customize the title, description, image, and form fields. Ask only for information you will use. In the full setup shown in my video, you can compare registration page variations with an A/B test.

If you use Kartra for landing pages and email, you can connect the two platforms rather than maintaining a disconnected list. My Kartra integration guide covers that workflow. Start with the built-in registration page if you want the simplest first test.

4. Set confirmation emails and reminders

The registration confirmation should tell people when the webinar starts and how to join. Use the platform’s dynamic links so each attendee receives the correct access information. Check any password requirements too.

Add reminders before the event and a follow-up afterward. A replay link or a clear next step is more useful than a generic thank-you. If you connect an email platform, decide which system sends each message so people do not receive duplicate reminders.

5. Prepare polls, offers, and handouts

In the tutorial, I demonstrate chat, polls, offers, file sharing, slides, and video injection. You can create a poll during a live session, but preparing your main polls and offer links ahead of time makes the event easier to manage alone.

Use each interaction for a reason. A poll can reveal the audience’s biggest problem. A handout can help them apply what you taught. An offer should connect directly to the presentation, with a working destination link.

6. Run a test before going live

Use the test option shown in the video to create a temporary test version. Register as an attendee, open the confirmation email, and join from a separate device or browser. Check your microphone, camera, screen sharing, slides, and offer link.

Entering the presenter room is not the same as broadcasting. Complete your checks backstage before starting the live session. If you inject a recorded clip, practice switching back to your presentation afterward.

7. Present and manage the room

Once you go live, work through your presentation and use chat or polls to check understanding. For a larger event, having another person handle questions lets you focus on teaching. Check your plan for the presenter and moderation features you need.

The video also shows the panic button, designed to recover a room if a technical problem occurs. I had not needed to use it when recording the tutorial, so I would not describe that segment as a real-world recovery test. It also does not replace checking your equipment and connection beforehand.

8. Review attendance and follow up

Afterward, review registrations, attendance, engagement, and any sales data available in your setup. The tutorial uses a demonstration account, so the empty reports are a tour of the controls, not evidence of a conversion result.

Look for the next improvement: did people register but fail to attend, leave early, or stay through the offer? Send a useful replay or next step, then improve the specific part of the process that needs attention.

WebinarJam pricing, trial, and discount

Current plans start at $49 monthly or $468 annually on Starter. Higher tiers increase audience capacity, host count, and session length. Basic, Professional, and Enterprise currently advertise EverWebinar included; confirm that inclusion with your selected plan.

WebinarJam publicly advertises a $1, 14-day trial. Older videos or partner URLs may mention a 30-day promotion, so use the trial and renewal terms shown at checkout. The 30-day money-back guarantee is a separate policy, not an extra trial period.

See the current WebinarJam offer and apply SOLO40 for 40% off your first payment across billing options. Review the renewal amount before completing your purchase.

Would I recommend WebinarJam?

Yes, if you want to run live webinars with a clear registration-to-follow-up process and will use the marketing features. Build one complete test event before committing to a larger plan. That tells you far more than clicking through a feature list.
