You have a business and you would like to involve the use of social media to promote it. Before you jump in you want to think about your business objectives and build a social media strategy that will allow you to stand out.

The content you create should always serve a clear purpose. Some of your objectives may be:
- to increase awareness
- drive traffic back to your website
- increase sign ups or purchases

Your content should always support your main business goals. It should be less about receiving likes or retweets and more about generating leads or traffic to your website.

Successful goals follow the SMART method: (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely)
