Three or four goals become a plan with topics, formats and dates for twelve weeks. Every post visibly contributes to a goal, and at the end of the quarter you know what social media has achieved.

Is this for you?

  • You post regularly, but more by feel than to a plan.
  • There are goals for the quarter, such as more applications, enquiries or sign-ups, and social media is meant to contribute to them.
First step today

Write down your two or three most important goals for the next quarter and the fixed dates. Have focus topics and a weekly plan drafted from them with the template below, and first check whether each topic really fits a goal.

How to go about it

  1. Make goals measurable
  2. Gather the constraints
  3. Have topics and formats assigned
  4. Check the plan against calendar and capacity
  5. Agree it with management
  6. Adjust monthly
