We've interviewed thousands of successful founders at Starter Story and asked what advice they would give to entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a webinar hosting business:

#1: Szymon Grabowski, founder of ClickMeeting:

We chatted with with Szymon, founder of ClickMeeting ($897K/month). In our interview, Szymon says:

Acquiring new customers will not help if you do not offer a stable platform. Of course, you can expand the functionality, and add new tools, but from the customer's perspective, the most important thing is reliability.

Additionally:

If a project doesn't work out, in most cases, giving up on it and learning the right lessons will be far better than persisting with unsuccessful initiatives.

Further:

It's a good idea to look at your business through the lens of your goals, and, at the same time, not get attached to your activities. You need to develop the ability to cut yourself off from projects that don't deliver the expected results.

#2: Melissa Kwan, founder of eWebinar :

We chatted with with Melissa, founder of eWebinar ($50K/month). In our interview, Melissa says:

Get good at selling. You don’t have to be the greatest salesman in the world, but as a founder, you should know how sales work so you can at least get the business from 0 to 1. Nobody else can do that for you.

Additionally:

If you understand what makes you happy in your everyday life and find a business that fits that criteria, you can always acquire the skills to make that business successful.

Further:

The only thing you can do as a software provider is to make sure that your product experience is the best your customers can have, better than the competition. The rest is up to them.
