GOAL SETTING
![Page 10: How to Recharge Your Inbound Marketing Content Strategy for 2017](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051705/589b478c1a28ab4a398b4fe9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What are your goals for your content marketing in 2017?
![Page 11: How to Recharge Your Inbound Marketing Content Strategy for 2017](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051705/589b478c1a28ab4a398b4fe9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Start with your customer goal and work backward to figure out how many leads you need to convert and how many visitors you need to attract to your site.
Not sure about your inbound close rate? You can start with just leads.
REVERSE ENGINEERING YOUR GOAL
![Page 12: How to Recharge Your Inbound Marketing Content Strategy for 2017](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051705/589b478c1a28ab4a398b4fe9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
EXAMPLE:
Customer goal: 5 new customers a month.
About 10% of your leads become customers.
Lead goal: 50 new leads per month.
About 1% of your site visitors become leads.
Visitor goal: 5,000 visitors per month.

CREATING CONTENT

Remember that your job as an inbound marketer is to create content that is useful for the different audiences coming to your site.
This can span from first-time visitors to customers.
![Page 15: How to Recharge Your Inbound Marketing Content Strategy for 2017](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051705/589b478c1a28ab4a398b4fe9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Create content that is relevant to your audience without always being about your company.
