Welcome to the launch of my new website and my first blog post! My name is Nikita Barry of Nikita Barry Social and I’m incredibly excited to tell you about all the great content I have to offer and what you can expect from me in the coming weeks. I have so many ideas to share that I’m actually writing this blog post earlier than I planned because I just can’t keep them to myself. I can’t wait to share my expertise and insights with you! I want to start off by telling you a little bit about why I am starting this blog, what my goals are, and how this experience has been so far.

Why I’m Starting This Blog 

I currently work a 9-5 job in Healthcare Administration and while I love working in an industry that seeks to help people, I realized that I wanted to help people in a different way. Blogging always seemed to be a sphere for people just looking to talk about what they loved. And it is! But it’s also much more. Blogs have become some of the best and most trusted places to get information or learn new things. I’m a self-taught Social Media Strategist and Digital Marketer with a passion for helping busy women monetize their passion. I (along with many other experts) truly believe that social media marketing is an indispensable tool for anyone looking to start or grow their small business. Managing accounts, keeping up with best practices, and optimizing posts to reach your target audience can be a nightmare for someone who justs wants to do what they love. Lucky for you, this is what I love. The world of social media marketing can be extremely confusing, so I started this blog to help busy women simplify their lives with tips, advice, and easy to understand info about growing their business with social media.

My Goals for This Blog

Social Media Marketing will be the main focus of my blog, with tons of resources and up-to-date information on how to grow your business and amp up your online presence so you can make a living doing what you love. I’ll also be talking a lot about productivity and ways to more easily manage your time and business, because, I promise, work-life balance is definitely real! Wellness and lifestyle will also be huge themes since you and I both know that in order for your business to run smoothly, YOU have to be running smoothly too. My goal is to simplify the lives of busy women entrepreneurs; MY passion is helping you monetize YOUR passion. That being said, if there’s anything you’d like to read or learn more about, let me know. I’m here to give you exactly what you need.

My Experience So Far

After deciding that I wanted to start a blog, I was determined to getting it running as soon as possible. I did a ton of research and found so many great resources to help me get going. I created drafts and templates and calendars and double and triple checked everything. I filled my binder so full of reference pages, outlines, and ideas that I had to start taking two purses to work just to carry it all! I didn’t just want to create a blog, I wanted to create a brand. Y’all, branding is hard! Taking everything you want to do and trying to simplify it down into one cohesive image is incredibly difficult, especially when you want to do so much. But the biggest challenge I’ve had so far is reminding myself that all of this is a learning experience and if I wait for perfection before I make a move, I’ll never get anywhere.
