The trick I've used is that I freeze cubes of the first batch in an ice-cube tray. Then whenever I make more, I unfreeze a cube, so I'm always making a "second generation" batch. My first generation I make from packets you can find online for ~$1.

Could you please post a link to the starter you use? I would truly appreciate it.

I've used this stuff https://www.npselection.com/products/yogurt-starter-cultures...

and also their Bulgarian style. Also available on amazon I believe. Balkan stuff is very neutral, rich. Bulgarian has a bit more tartness to it.
