Write Down a Goal
o In our goal of “growing friends and followers on our social media platforms” the level of specificity is not very high.
o Let’s update our goal statement to make it more specific…
“We want to grow our friends & followers on Facebook & Twitter.”

Is the Goal Specific?
o In our goal of “growing friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter.” we don’t have a measurable to validate whether the goal is complete.
o Let’s update our goal statement to make it more measureable…
“We want to grow our friends & followers on Facebook & Twitter from 1000 to 1,000,000.”
AN APPROVED COURSE OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA © 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Is the Goal Measurable?
o In our goal of “growing friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter from 1000 to 1,000,000,” the ability for us to get to one million friends & followers would be nearly impossible in the short term.
o Let’s update our goal statement to make it more attainable…
“We want to grow our friends & followers on Facebook & Twitter from 1000 to 10,000.”
AN APPROVED COURSE OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA © 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Is the Goal Attainable?
o In our goal of “growing friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter from 1000 to 10,000,” does this compliment our current business objectives if our current business objective is to get more sales leads?
o Let’s update our goal statement to make it more relevant…
“We want to grow our sales leads from friends & followers on Facebook & Twitter
from 100 to 1000.”
AN APPROVED COURSE OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA © 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

1000 by Dec. 31, 2013.”
