Ep. 075 - One of the best ways to build recurring income for your web design business is by having a website maintenance plan. Building and running that plan however, is easier said than done.
For this episode, I've brought in my colleague and repeat guest, Stephanie Hudson, who has a lot of experience with running website maintenance plans month to month as the co-founder of FocusWP.co, a whitelabel maintenance service.
In this interview, we talk about the ins and outs of website maintenance from the tools we use, to our update strategies and best practices, backups, security, optimization, reporting and much more.
If you want to learn how to build your own website maintenance plan or take it to the next level, I'd love to help guide you in my Website Maintenance Plan Course. If you prefer to not do the maintenance yourself, be sure to utilize Steph and FocusWP.co to handle that for you!
P.S. Be sure to drop my name when you reach out to them!
