People often underestimate the complexity of operating an online business and the maintenance it requires. As we explain in our latest video guide, managing and growing your site with the help of a professional is critical for success. You are responsible for implementing many complex processes that, without experience, can greatly affect the performance of your online business, from traffic to revenue. Risk assessment, software updates, regularly updated content, monetisation sources, competition, and backlinks all play a role. Listen in for further tips and considerations.
This week on The Domain Magnate Show, we are joined by Barcelona-based entrepreneur Andrew Swiler to discuss acquiring a $2.5M private SaaS company.
