Setting your social media goals can be difficult. Often times we focus only on making money through social media, but this leaves so much less on the table. In fact, when we only consider making money through social media, we forget about all other aspects of a sales process, specifically lead nurturing and education.
This video covers some of the common social media goals that you can choose for your focus and how to turn them into SMART goals. I also go into which tracking tools you can use for measuring your results and, my most important piece of advice with social media… to have fun!

Who else LOVES Google calendar???? This one I think may be my favorite for goal tracking.
Find time for your goals with Google Calendar
Whether it’s reading more books, learning a new language or working out regularly, achieving your goals can be really hard. One day it’s “I got called into a last-minute meeting.” The next day it’s “I have a friend in town.” And before you know it, your goals are delayed or forgotten. In fact, with all the things you need to do in a given week, it’s probably harder than ever to find the time—even when your goal really matters to you.
That’s why starting today, we’re introducing Goals in Google Calendar. Just add a personal goal—like “run 3 times a week”—and Calendar will help you find the time and stick with it.
Goals are easy to set up
To set a goal (like “Work out more”), simply answer a few questions (like “How often?” and “Best time?”), and you’re all set. From there Calendar will look at your schedule and find the best windows to pencil in time for that goal.
If you still LOVE to write down your weekly or monthly goals and be able to look at them on a daily basis, don’t worry, we have you covered as well. Below is a checklist you can write down your monthly and weekly goals and then input the action items you need to make to complete this goal.
