Thank you for asking! Remember, when it comes to goals they need to follow the "smart" rule of thumb.
1. S - Specific. A goal must be specific. "I will sponsor 10 affiliates this month by advertising my blog on twitter, facebook, yelp, and other social networking sites." Along with the declaration be sure to have a definite plan of action that will get you their. In order to be effective at social marketing strategies you need to post consistently on network sites around a central theme. At least 4 posts per week but usually about 3 per day is needed to build recruiting momentum.
2. M - Measurable. Measure your progress to see if you are on target to hit your goal. This is where tracking is big. If you are off target then you must adapt your marketing strategy so that you can hit the target in a timely fashion.
3. A - Achievable. What's achievable for some may not be achievable for others. But given the same scenarios you can achieve what has been achieved in the lest much more with a solid strategy you can out perform your wildest expectations. Aim High. Dream Big! You know where your skill level is. If you are not good at recruiting, then don't expect to recruit 30 PSAs this month when you have not recruited 10 PSAs in the last 90 days!
4. R - Realistic. Accordingly, let's be honest about our expectations. If you have never gotten a commission from SFI, I can tell you that your first one will probably be small. Mine was $6.33 in 2010 after 3 years of seeing $0.00!
5. T - Timely. Without a deadline, a goal is just wishful thinking. Moreover, without a plan to get to your goal, you set yourself up for failure before you ever begin. The main thing to do is to give yourself plenty of time to learn the tricks of the trade. Then, expect the best out of your marketing strategy and track your results over time to get maximum results.
Hence, a good goal for 2013 is to grow your PSAs, ECAs, PRMs, CSAs, and product line by 10%. Shoot for 10% growth in everything you do. If you get less, ask yourself why, tweak and retweak - then; try it again until you have grown your business by 10%. It may not come when you think but if you shoot for this, it is DEFINITELY a "smart" thing to do! :) Wilg!
