🎯 From Assessment to Action: A 3×3×3 Goal Mapping Guide for Creators

You’ve taken the time to understand where you are. Now let’s define where you’re going—with a plan that’s clear, grounded, and designed for real results.


🧠 Step 1: Start with Clarity, Not Chaos

Ask yourself:

  • What do I want to achieve in the next 90 days?

  • What’s actually possible based on my platform strength, audience behavior, and available time?

  • Which outcomes will move me closer to real income, not just vanity metrics?

❌ Not this:
"Grow my brand."
✅ Instead:
"Gain 2,500 new Instagram followers and convert 5% to email subscribers."


📦 Step 2: Use the 3×3×3 Framework

This method helps you focus on what matters, without spreading yourself thin.

The Formula:

3 Platforms × 3 Metrics × 3 Months

🔹 Choose Your 3 Platforms

Pick platforms where:

  • Your audience actually engages

  • You can be consistent

  • You already see traction or untapped potential

Examples:

  • Instagram

  • YouTube

  • Email list
    (or TikTok, LinkedIn, Podcast, etc.)


🔹 Define 3 Meaningful Metrics per Platform

Avoid vanity metrics like “views” unless they tie to deeper engagement.

Sample Metrics by Platform:

Custom HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT

Use your assessment to choose metrics that matter to monetization.


🔹 Set 3-Month Targets

Give yourself a 90-day window. It’s long enough to show results, short enough to stay focused.

Good Example:

  • Grow email list from 500 to 1,500 subscribers

  • Sell $2,000 worth of digital templates

  • Hit 10% link click rate on Instagram Stories


🛠 Step 3: Align Monetization With Your Model

Based on your earlier assessment, choose one primary monetization strategy to focus on this quarter:

Custom HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT

🔍 Step 4: Reality Check & Adjust

For each goal, sanity check it with:

  • Your current baseline

  • Your time/skill bandwidth

  • Audience demographics (buying power, platform behavior)

  • Historical performance data

If something feels too big or vague, scale it down. Progress > perfection.


✏️ Step 5: Write Your 3×3×3 Goal Map

Use this template to make it real:


🧭 My 3-Month Goal Map

Platforms:

  1. [Platform 1]

  2. [Platform 2]

  3. [Platform 3]

Metrics & Targets:

Platform 1

  • Metric 1: Grow from X to Y

  • Metric 2: Improve from A% to B%

  • Metric 3: Convert Z leads to $

Platform 2

  • (Same structure)

Platform 3

  • (Same structure)

Primary Monetization Focus:
[Service / Digital Product / Membership / Affiliate]

Revenue Goal:
$[Goal] in the next 90 days through [Chosen Method]


🚀 Step 6: Build Your Weekly Game Plan

Now break your 3-month targets into:

  • Weekly goals (ex: post 3 Reels, write 2 emails, create 1 product)

  • Habits (ex: check analytics every Friday, engage with 20 followers/day)

  • Review checkpoints every 2 weeks
