Marketing goals are a lot like cake. it's not until you get to the end that you really understand how to make it. To know your marketing goals, start by answering these questions:

What's your marketing goal? If you want to market yourself or your product, or if you want to reach a certain demographic, then your marketing goal is probably "make money." If you want to promote a charity, or if you're trying to save the world from COVID-19 pandemic, then your marketing goal is likely "raise awareness."

What do you want people to do after seeing something about your company or product? If you want people to click through and buy something from your website, then that means making sure that they don't feel like they've been sold something before they've even seen anything else on your site.

How much money do you need? If this is an ongoing business and/or charity, then it's important that whatever amount of money they raise goes directly back into the organization itself. If it's just one time event, then it doesn't matter as much but still have a plan for what happens next!
