- 0:24important ones how will we know if they

- 0:29will answer all these questions so let's
- 0:31not wait any longer and let's get
- 0:33started why it is important to set goals
- 0:36in social networks setting goals in a
- 0:38social media strategy helps to determine
- 0:41where we start from where we are and
- 0:43where we want to go based on this a
- 0:45strategy will be designed that will help
- 0:47to go from one point to another to be
- 0:50able to see if it's working or not when
- 0:52there are no clear objectives and
- 0:54consequently there is no clear strategy
- 0:57people tend to publish just for the sake
- 0:59of it with no set dates and times and no
- 1:02content plan and this is something that
- 1:04does not usually give results and one of
- 1:06the key points to set objectives is to
- 1:08establish smart objectives this is an
- 1:11acronym that refers to the five
- 1:13objectives that marketing strategies
- 1:15should have let's see what they mean
- 1:17specific always ask yourself the
- 1:19question what do I want to achieve to
- 1:22define the objective as much as possible
- 1:24which should always be related to the
- 1:26type of business you have measurable
- 1:29every of objective must be measurable
- 1:31with a number or the results will not be
- 1:33interpretable it is also important to
- 1:36have tools that have measured previous
- 1:38results and measure the new ones since
- 1:41this way it will be possible to see if
- 1:43there is growth or not achievable you
- 1:46must Define an objective that is
- 1:48achievable in fact it is much better to
- 1:51set small goals than an overly ambitious
- 1:54one that can create frustration in the
- 1:56team if it is not achieved realistic the
- 2:00objective must be important for both the
- 2:02company and for the customers and time
- 2:05bound every objective must be achievable
- 2:08within a certain time frame in this way
- 2:10the actions taken during that period of
- 2:13time will be focused on achieving that
- 2:15goal but how do we bring smart
- 2:17objectives to social networks an example
- 2:20would be wanting to reach 10,000
- 2:22followers in 6 months this is a specific
- 2:25measurable achievable and realistic goal
- 2:28how should you define your goals for
- 2:29your social social media strategies
- 2:31regardless of the social network you are
- 2:33using defining a specific goal should
- 2:36start with a broader one first such as
- 2:38gaining presence on Instagram from here
- 2:41you can Define some much more concrete
- 2:44and specific ones that will help
- 2:46determine the type of actions to be
- 2:48carried out on social networks in
- 2:50addition one characteristic that these
- 2:53more specific objectives must have is
- 2:56that they must be measurable so for each
- 2:59objective Ive it is necessary to decide
- 3:02on the key metric evaluate the current
- 3:04situation and monitor it constantly for
- 3:07example if the aim is to increase
- 3:10interaction on Instagram which would be
- 3:12the general objective the number of
- 3:14likes comments shares and saves will be
- 3:17the derived objectives and the key
- 3:19metrics to be measured it will then be
- 3:22necessary to assess the number of likes
- 3:25comments shares and saves and to monitor
- 3:28whether it is growing or increasing this
- 3:30leads directly to aligning the objective
- 3:33with the audience since the followers
- 3:35will have to be analyzed to know their
- 3:37interests and thus create content that
- 3:39is useful attractive and appealing to
- 3:42them in order to achieve greater
- 3:44interaction if different social networks
- 3:46are being used specific objectives can
- 3:49be set for each platform for example if
- 3:51on Instagram the goal is to reach 10,000
- 3:54followers because it is something
- 3:55feasible and realistic within a certain
- 3:58period of time but it is not on Facebook
- 4:00you can reduce the number on Facebook by
- 4:02half establishing one figure or another
- 4:05depends not only on the number of
- 4:07followers from which you start but also
- 4:09the type of audience on each platform
- 4:12the type of Publications that can be
- 4:13made and the growth that each platform
- 4:17allows according to its algorithm and
- 4:19operation for example it is relatively
- 4:22easy to gain many followers at once on
- 4:25Tik Tok if a video goes viral but the
- 4:27same does not usually happen on in
- 4:29Instagram you should also keep in mind
- 4:31that different goals are usually
- 4:33determined but trying to address them
- 4:35all at once is a mistake ideally you
- 4:38should prioritize your goals and Tackle
- 4:40them one at a time here are some
- 4:42examples of social media marketing
- 4:44objectives for you to take note of there
- 4:46are a number of social media marketing
- 4:48goals that are very common among
- 4:50businesses one of them is to increase
- 4:52brand awareness this is a fairly broad
- 4:54goal as lasting impact on the target
- 4:57audience is achieved over time and
- 4:59through regular consistent content
- 5:01posting so it is less easy to see the
- 5:03results in an obvious and quick way
- 5:05another objective can be lead generation
- 5:07that is to expand your Brand's database
- 5:10with the contacts of people or companies
- 5:12potentially interested in your products
- 5:15and services each lead will be a new
- 5:17contact potentially interested in you
- 5:19and can be obtained through Publications
- 5:21that arouse interest in the brand or ads
- 5:24that encourage the user to register and
- 5:26give their email or other contact
- 5:28information you may also want to
- 5:30increase interaction with the content
- 5:33which can be achieved through posts that
- 5:34are interesting and useful to the user
- 5:37there are many ways to get the attention
- 5:40of your audience and many formats you
- 5:43can try an example would be polls
- 5:45quizzes or some kind of interactive game
- 5:48in Instagram stories even if they are
- 5:50fleeting content it can help you be more
- 5:53present in your followers day-to-day
- 5:55lives another example would be to
- 5:57increase user content generation which
- 6:00can be achieved by motivating the user
- 6:02to share content relatable to your brand
- 6:04this can be achieved by using a specific
- 6:07hashtag or by participating in a trend
- 6:09you launch on Tik Tok for example how to
- 6:12measure if you have achieved your social
- 6:13media goals measuring results can vary
- 6:16depending on the objectives you have set
- 6:18but there are certain points that are
- 6:20invariable one of them is that before

- 6:29example if the objective is to increase
- 6:31the number of followers the starting
- 6:33point and the number of followers to be
- 6:35reached must be taken into account in
- 6:38order to make an accurate measurement
- 6:40analysis tools can be used usually
- 6:43social networks have built-in analysis
- 6:45tools but there are also some external
- 6:47ones such as Google analytics that can
- 6:50be useful through such tools going back
- 6:52to the example of the number of
- 6:54followers it will be possible to know
- 6:56exactly the growth rate of the account
- 6:59including the the number of people who
- 7:00have stopped being followers in addition
- 7:02it is important to regularly monitor the
- 7:05metrics in order to be able to make
- 7:07adjustments to the strategy if necessary
- 7:09and precisely from this information it
- 7:11is convenient to create reports in order
- 7:14to have a much clearer view of the
- 7:16evolution and whenever necessary an
- 7:19adjustment of the objectives can be made
