Firstly, the cyclamen must be allowed to die down naturally....something it will usually do a few months after flowering. Reduce the watering gradually when the leaves start going yellow and eventually dry the corm out.
Store in a cool, dry and dark area for the summer then, next August, take the corm out of its resting place, put in a pot that's around 1" wider than the corm and use any multi purpose potting compost.
The corm must be half in the soil and half out.
Slowly start to increase watering as growth starts and when you have a nice few leaves, start feeding with a liquid feed once a week (i use miracle grow).
Hopefully, you will have a nice cyclamen in flower for xmas next year and if you keep it cool, it will last for ages.
Repeat the above process every year.....good luck
