There are several reasons marketers will distribute their content. Some hope their content will drive traffic to their website, while others hope it’ll help generate new leads.

Setting a content distribution goal is the foundation to building a strategy that drives results. This is accomplished by understanding the purpose behind your distribution efforts, and making your goal SMART.

Remember, a SMART goal is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. To learn more about this, check out the Developing a Content Distribution Strategy lesson via HubSpot Academy.

Purpose: Generating new leads. 

 

SMART Goal: We want to generate 1k new qualified leads this quarter. To do this, we will partner with adjacent brands to feature our content on their owned channels, segment our email list and push personalized newsletters for each subset, as well as run paid ads on platforms our prospective buyers frequent.

During admissions season at my university (January-June), we would like to recruit approximately 2,500 new students by the end of June. In the first 3 months we recruited 1,000 new students by using targeted sponsored social media ads alone, and aim to achieve 1.5 times that amount by running both social media and google ads campaigns for the final 3 months, thus reaching our overall target. Historically our google ads get half the level of engagement we get on social media when using the same budget for each channel.

I would like to boost activation of customer accounts on my company's digital e-learning platform by 10% in 3 months. I aim to do this by developing 2 email marketing campaigns that communicate the value of  platform features and tools with segmented messaging by institutional role (teacher, admin, etc.)

An example of an effective content distribution goal:

 

Purpose: "Increase leads by creating blogs to further brand awareness and credibility."

SMART Goal: "To increase our incoming leads by 2% by creating 3 blogs per week for two months while optimizing our blogs using SEO and developing blog topics that align with customers in the awareness stage, thus bringing more brand awareness and credibility." 

This is just an example and may need further improvements. The main focus was to make this a S.M.A.R.T. goal that was detailed and aligned with a purpose.

An example of an effective content distribution goal I would like to set as a BBA student is to increase brand awareness and reach. By distributing my content across various platforms and channels, I aim to expand the visibility of my brand and attract a larger audience. This can be measured by tracking metrics such as social media engagement, website traffic, and the growth of my email subscriber list. I would have a fixxed goal of leads and engagement.

For GenoFAB, our top content distribution goal is to create a well-functioning and appealing website. The only aspect of the SMART goal I have for this is the time-bound aspect. We want to create this website in 2-3 weeks.
