My goal is to master digital marketing in six months... So I’ve started to create a long-term vision and break it down into short-term goals, so I can stay on track with what I want to achieve.
Currently, I am working towards completing my content marketing course on HubSpot so that I can actively implement the knowledge and skills into my brand through consistently and proper planning.
By September 2025, I will grow Sneaker Solutions MNL’s Instagram following from 1,400 to 2,500 and increase monthly sales by 20% by applying content marketing strategies learned from the HubSpot Content Marketing Certification—such as using educational carousels, customer testimonials, and optimized captions to drive engagement and trust.
With the knowledge I have learned in my undergrad and what I am currently learned in my first course of my masters degree in marketing I will have my football performance training officially started by next June. This summer I will be hosting different sessions as a trial run to find different areas I can be better but this will allow me to learn from any mistakes being made and correct them to bring in consistent clients.
I want to build a strong foundation in content marketing by gaining practical skills in content creation, strategy, and management to prepare for a full-time role in the marketing industry. By dedicating focused time each week to learning, practising, and networking, I’ll balance my studies with side projects and internships to gradually build my skills and resume. This goal aligns perfectly with my passion for digital storytelling, branding, and audience engagement—key components of content marketing.I plan to achieve this within the next four years.
My SMART goal for the year is to acquire skills in the content marketing field that I have been lacking in the past, to evolve with the changing trends and keep myself updated with the current happenings in the field.
(S)pecific - Successfully transiting over from a content writer to a content marketing specialist that specializes in SEO.
(M)easurable - This can be measured with by the next job position I land.
(A)chievable - While completing this course and gaining industry knowledge and experience I can achieve this goal.
(R)elevant - This goal aligns with my personal goal of building a career for myself in the marketing industry despite having a digital media and journalism educational background.
(T)imely - I aim to accomplish this goal in 5 years.
A smart goal i am working towards this year is to get clear on a business idea.
In order to do this, I do different courses to learn more about different aspects of business, join networking events to meet like- minded people and gain inspiration and observe any gaps i find in my surroundings and society, note down any ideas that come to mind and follow up with research on solutions that have already been created.
I am working on pursuing my career on SEO and Content marketing rather than to limit myself to only as a SEO writer. Have a strong inentions to move to Dubai and then after a while, settle in USA forever as an entrpreneur (or maybe as an employee).
I working towards establishing my own self in the industry, create a personal identity and space for my self and get recognized for the work i do, in my industry. I am actively establishing my presence in the industry, creating a strong personal identity, and carving out my own space. I am committed to earning recognition for the impactful work I do in my field.
This year, I aim to gradually improve my content creation process by applying what I learn from each lesson in the HubSpot course. For example, I’ve started exploring tools like Trello and Google Docs to organize ideas, track edits, and plan timelines more efficiently. My goal is to experiment with different content strategies and frameworks and slowly build confidence in creating structured, audience-focused content. I plan to review my progress every month and make small, practical improvements along the way.
A smart goal I am working towards this year is exploring more niches in the field of marketing in order to find what I enjoy most and am best at. I will measure this by keeping an Excel document with how I feel about each unique experience, whether it be taking new classes/courses, or starting temporary positions/volunteering/shadowing.
A SMART goal I am working towards this year is learning more about content writing and content marketing so understand where in the industry I really want to place myself. I can achieve this by being consistent in learning more through this course and more.
My SMART goal is to research and connect with other people in the business field who know more, to create rough drafts for my work, and to find the time it will take to complete each activity to expedite it.
A SMART goal I am working toward is to hone in on my scheduling skills and analytics for accounts I am working on. This will help me understand how to engage my followers and non-followers on accounts specific to their consumer persona.
