Now that you've got a website set up properly and have the proper tools to promote it, all that is left on your end is maintaining your website. Most website hosting platforms (Shopify, Squarespace, Wix) charge a monthly fee to use, which can be set up to be paid automatically.

  • Updating plugins is known speed up websites and generally offer improvements
  • Review data analytics about website traffic. Namely, figure out where it comes from and adjust your marketing efforts accordingly
