How to Set smart goals (With 5 Examples)

2. Reaching a Blog Earnings Milestone
Even when using a platform such as WordPress, getting a blog to the point where it earns you money requires a lot of work. However, it’s also something you can turn into a SMART goal. Here’s how:

• 
  Specific: First off, you’ll want to set a number to aim for. This will be specific to you, although $100 for a new blog is a good start.
  
• 
  Measurable: Of course, it’s easy enough to measure your success here, since money is all numbers and there are various associated metrics you can track.
  
• 
  Attainable: As we said, it’s a reasonable target for a somewhat new blog to bring in at least $100 per month.
  
• 
  Relevant: This type of goal would definitely be relevant for many, including affiliate marketers, or someone looking to sell a product (such as the previous e-book example).
  
• 
  Time-Bound: Again, this will be based on your own setup, although we’d recommend a reasonable six-month window to complete the task.
  

This may seem like a lot of work. However, keep in mind this is likely going to be a never-ending goal, as once you’ve achieved this one, you’ll scale it to your next milestone. Also, the Return On Investment (ROI) can be significant if you continue to put the work in, and you’re au fait with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and content marketing strategies.
3. Increasing Your Email Subscribers
Here’s another example of a goal perfect for the SMART system. Email subscribers can be a huge asset to almost any type of website. The more subscribers you have, the greater number of conversions you can win. Here’s how you could break down this goal:

• 
  Specific: Your goal is to grow your email subscribers list to a specific number, such as 500 members.
  
• 
  Measurable: This goal is easy enough to measure. Simply keep an eye on your email marketing platform, and pop the champagne once your list hits 500 members.
