What are your 2024 goals in content creation? Tell us for $5!

Posted by Boomer in Content Creators

It's common wisdom for all creatives: visualise your ultimate objective, break it down into smaller steps, and commit to completing them on a schedule. That same process can apply to content creation: it can help you orientate yourself on your journey, measure your progress, and give you a strategy for growth.

So let's get into it and work out your goals for 2024. What's your ultimate vision for yourself as a content creator? What's a realistic timeline, and if you assume good progress towards it in 2024, what does the next year look like? And the big question: how will you measure it?

Ask yourself these questions and post at least three goals for your submission. These goals will give you a better focus if, to borrow some project management jargon, they are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Perhaps you want to make Twitch partner in six months, gain 100 followers in three, or post at least ten pieces of a new form of content before the year is out - whatever makes sense for you.

We'll give you $5 just for posting your goals - they're not just a pledge to yourself, but inspiration for others. Make them as good (and as SMART) as you can, and watch for a follow-up bounty next week to turn them into actionable New Year's resolutions. Let's get after it!

Task: Post at least three SMART goals for your content creator work in 2024

Ok I am going to be totally transparent in the hope that these help someone else who is a small creator , as under each of these goals will be the tasks that I will do regularly to drive me towards these goals, so think about breaking them down into smaller bite sized goals! 3 of my current Smart goals are as follows -

I want to grow the number of views the Gamerz WRLD channel gains each month to 600k to double our ad revenue to £800 per month by releasing minimum 1 evergreen long form Xbox related videos per week. I will reach 600k by 30 Dec 2024

I want to grow the number of views the Pure PSX channel gains each month to 300k to reach ad revenue of £400 per month by releasing minimum 1 evergreen long form PlayStation related video. I will reach 300k by 13 June 2023.

I want to Launch the NEW Channel by year end (date tbc dependant on external factor, ideally summer) then if channel launches before Q4 calendar year target is to to hit a total of 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours watchtimeso I can monetise the channel. I will reach 1000 subs total and 4000 hours watchtime by the end of the year by releasing 3 Long form videos per week and 1 short form - minimum.

Okay so my goals for 2024 are:

1000 subs on YouTube: Hate goals like this as it is something out of your control but it a easy way of seeing progress. Going from 49 subscribers to 1000 is a big jump but stranger things have happened (I think). Hopefully my plans for this year will help over the year.
Average 20 views on Twitch: I think for this goal it is less about streaming and more the work around it. Promoting on other platforms (YouTube/Tik Tok/Threads) working on emotes and overlays. Also find my niche have streams not just playing games. Incorporate my love of photography maybe even tournament.
Get freelance work: My hope is as I make more stuff I can get more confidant and have a body of work to show I can do good video editing.
Get a Job in the games industry: Yeah a bit farfetch'd but screw it aim high. Would love to work as a video editor. Maybe even live and work in London (ha ha ha). Aiming high.
Consistency: Properly the hardest (wait no four is) goal with a move coming up this year and soon but yeah hope to have one Youtube video two Twitch streams and Alan Partridge in a pear tree. (Sorry) Oh and lastly.
Podcast: A monthly podcast Going threw the animated Disney movies from Snow White to Present. I would like a weekly gaming one as well but the monthly one for a start.

These are my goals for 2024.

I screwed up the number thing. How is that even possible.

I have set several goals for myself, one of which is to get accustomed to a goal-oriented system.

Implement and follow the OKR philosophy (Objectives and Key Results) to keep myself focused on what truly matters. There is a step-by-step plan, which hopefully will reach completion by March 2024.
Migrate my website to the WordPress framework in Q1 2024. This is a big challenge, as I need to learn new technology, create a design, rethink the pages' structure, and lastly, migrate more than 150,000 existing pages with the hope of not losing anything.
By Q2 2024, regain back 1 million monthly unique readers, which I lost after the latest 'Google update' to SEO policies. The success of goal #2 plays a major role in achieving this.

I have been thinking about this and the biggest goal for me for 2024 with my content creation is to branch out to other platforms and start investing time into creating offline long form content. I really want to branching out to YouTube and start creating videos, editing and scripting. I really feel that these skills are things that I can learn now and use in my future, but it would be amazing to have there on the side alongside the live streaming.

I think when it comes to creating content, being able to show a variety of different forms of content go along way. Plus on a more personal side, I do want to get back into video editing and sometimes I just want to sit at a camera and just talk about a certain topic

End of this year has been a bit hectic so I couldn't keep consistent with my content schedule, so first goal for next year is to set a schedule which will fit my new job I'm starting in January and to start using a content management tool to schedule social media posts so I have more time to edit videos and have the content still going if I'm away on holiday or busy with work.

Set up multi-streaming to Youtube and maybe to Kick as well to reach a wider audience and be more consistent on posting some form of short content after each of my streams to promote the content I'm doing.

Want to find time for a variety stream session (if not weekly then at least every 2 weeks or one all day long session a month) and would use this time to do more sponsored content via StreamElements.

Would like to become Twitch Affiliate by the time FFXIV Dawntrail comes out in the summer.

Planning to have a weekly video series leading up to FFXIV Dawntrail launch, I want to draft the plan for that after the Fan Fest in January when we might get a precise release date announcement (if not then I'll just have to do my best guess)

We took a break from organising FFXIV raid teaching sessions on my Discord as interest was not that high for old content and we decided to take this time to recharge and focus a bit on boring RL must sort out things, but want to revive the Discord after FFXIV Dawntrail launch when we might get a new 48 man content to do (chances are low but I refuse to give up hope, Yoshi-P will listen one day XD)
