A Goal Mapping Guide for Creators
🎯 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:
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:
🔍 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:
[Platform 1]
[Platform 2]
[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
