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 createing a calendar sync tool:

#1: Andrew Rogoff, founder of Resource Guru:

We chatted with with Andrew, founder of Resource Guru ($177K/month). In our interview, Andrew says:

Starting out wasn’t easy. We had to figure out how to survive without our existing jobs and neither of us had any savings. I realized that, if I became a freelancer, I could earn more money in 7 months than I normally made in a year.

Additionally:

When you're starting out, you will meet negative people. People who tell you that your idea will never work. Listen carefully to their advice but, in the end, it is only you that should make the judgement call on whether your idea is a good one or not.

Further:

Do some research. Create a prototype or some designs and get opinions from your target market. Would they use it? Most importantly - would they pay for it and how much?

#2: Elad Shaham, founder of SyncThemCalendars:

We chatted with with Elad, founder of SyncThemCalendars ($1.5K/month). In our interview, Elad says:

At some point, I will probably switch my focus to marketing and growth to get more traffic. While I do believe STC is a niche service, too many potential users have never heard of it.

Additionally:

You need to be a problem solver - tackle one problem at a time, and don’t be fixated about the solution you came up with - it may not be the best one to implement.

#3: Elad Shaham, founder of SyncThemCalendars:

We chatted with with Elad, founder of SyncThemCalendars ($1.5K/month). In our interview, Elad says:

When talking to users, I think that taking a personal approach works better, so most of my automated marketing emails are personal and go out of my mailbox.
