How to properly set up a turntable

I am new to vinyl. Just got a Woodsong Garrard 301. Installed the Myajima Shalabi. Set the tracking weight and am listening with great pleasure. I know there is more to the set up procedure. I actually have a SmartTractor and know there are YouTubes but feel ignorant and insecure. What do I need to do. When all properly set up will I notice a change?
