[PGolecruz]

My SMART goal is to start posting contents on instagram and tiktok to build awareness for my target personas. By next year, I aim to increase my followers to atleast 3,000. I aim to post atleast 2 times a week since I am working 9 to 5 job but still eager to build my business and skills in social media management

[NBryant5]

My SMART Goal starting this week is to begin consistently posting on my author TikTok account about 2x a week posting small updates for my book or just things that I would like to discuss with the BookTok community. I also would like to participate in trends in the BookTok community that might help me gain more viewers and amass a following prior to the release of my book.  I think that I will time each post to each chapter that I complete. I will be monitoring analytics for viewership and replying to comments, and just overall spreading awareness that I am, in fact, planning to be a published author.

[Kimberlyg]

My SMART Goal starting next month is to have a thriving TikTok account with consistent 3x a week posting schedule and educational aesthetic photos and video posts. I'll start by market research, making a tracker, compiling raw videos, include CTAs for more engagement and reply to relevant comments, monitoring analytics and change my strategy if needed.

My SMART goal is to increase my brand's awareness on social media, TikTok and IG. Reaching a minimum of 1k followers before the first half of 2026. 
To achieve this feat, I will create a content calendar that enables contents are consistently(weekly) uploaded on these platforms and also measure and analyze the contents to know which does better.

My SMART goal is to create a YouTube channel with at least 5,000 subscribers by the end of 2026.
To accomplish this, I am working to create more available time, recruiting people into my process, and marketing myself on social media or podcasts to increase exposure.

This year, my SMART goal is to increase my brand’s Instagram engagement by 20% by the end of the year. To achieve this, I am creating a content calendar with weekly posts, using analytics to track what content resonates most with my audience, and experimenting with interactive stories and reels to boost engagement.
