Social Media Goals
The first step in creating a Social Media Plan, Social
Media Strategy, or Social Media Roadmap for your
business is to define your “goals”. Clear goals should
be the foundational first step.
Social Media Goals
Without a clear idea of what you want to accomplish
with Social Media, you are unlikely to achieve
anything at all because your efforts will be scattered
or aimless.
Take the time to plan your Social Media Goals so
that the time you spend in the future isn’t wasted.
Social Media Goals
It’s also important that your Goals for Social Media
relate to your overall goals for your business.
Rather than choosing Social Media Goals arbitrarily,
make sure these goals are aligned with your overall
marketing, sales, brand, and public relations
objectives.
Social Media Goals
Start by writing down at least five Social Media Goals
for your business. Make sure each goal is specific,
realistic and measurable.
And always remember, your Social Media Goals are
not set on stone. Make sure that you continually
evaluate your goals, and adjust them as you go.
Social Media Goals
