Believe it or not, the mailbag has begun to overflow with reader questions! I can hardly believe it myself, but I sure am grateful. Keep those questions coming people! Let's dip into the mailbag and see what this week holds for us.</p>

<td><em>Hi Social Share,<br />
<br />
I've been reading Twitter for a few years now and I'm finally ready to take the plunge! I think I'd really benefit from having some goals to aim for, but I don't know where to start. Can you suggest some reasonable Twitter goals? <br />
<br />

P.S. - I wish I could subscribe to this newsletter twice, it's so good!</td>

<p>You're too kind. Of course I can suggest some Twitter goals for you! At the bottom of this email you'll find a blue button, click on it for a short PDF that describes how to begin thinking about what kind of goals are right for you, and a handful of suggested goals. It's a smart play to go into Twitter with a game plan. Twitter is a busy place and it's easy to get lost in there if you approach it aimlessly (actually, it's still pretty easy to get lost in there with a plan, but at least you have chance). So, read on, set some goals, and reach for the next level. See you next week.</p>
<p>Before you take a peek at this week's batch of tweets, ask yourself "Do I have any questions for the mailbag?" </p>
