This step also sounds obvious, but how I said earlier… Not everybody really does it. Take your time and prepare yourself, it makes everything easier. But how do you split a goal? Where do I start?

First things first. Let’s take the first example with the 1.000 visitors a month within the next 4 month. What I would do is to split the goal into smaller goals for every month/week… What makes sense. In this example I will split it per moth.

• 1. month -> 250 visitors/month
• 2. month -> 500 visitors/month
• 3. month -> 750 visitors/month
• 4. month -> 1.000 visitors/month

Now I have something like a game plan. So now I can think about, how can I reach my first goal in the first moth? Well, I won’t reach the goal with only Search Engine Traffic, because that needs time. I will have to promote my posts massively on Social Media. That means I need Social Media profiles and I need to build a follower-base… You see here that if you think about how to achieve your goal you get a chain of tasks and you’ll now exactly where to begin. The first thing I would do in my example is to create Social Media profiles on relevant platforms like Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter… It depends what my topic is and so on, but you get the idea.

So now you should have the SMART-goal, some smaller goals and a list of tasks.
