With the US TikTok ban expected to go into effect on January 19th, many creators are understandably questioning whether TikTok is really getting banned and are concerned about their next steps. Although this change can be challenging to accept, this is also an opportunity to rethink strategies and diversify platforms as a creator. Below are some suggestions for managing content creation and navigating this and future platform changes.

Jump Ahead:
Save and Repurpose Your TikTok Content
Don’t let your hard work go to waste! Back up all your TikTok videos to your device, cloud storage, external hard drive, etc. Repurposing this content on other platforms is an easy way to maintain momentum without starting from scratch if you haven’t done so already. Many short-form videos can fit seamlessly into:
- YouTube Shorts
- Instagram Reels
- Pinterest Video Pins
Lean Into Multistreaming
TikTok has quickly become a favorite platform for those who wish to create mobile-first live stream content. The potential ban highlights the importance of diversifying one's presence across multiple platforms.
Multistreaming allows you to share your live streams on several platforms simultaneously, ensuring your content reaches a broader audience. With multistreaming, we recommend exploring options like:
- YouTube Live: An ideal platform for building a consistent live-streaming and short-form video presence—tackling two content formats at once on a long-form first platform
- Instagram Live: Perfect for connecting with your followers in real-time on another mobile-first platform.
FYI, Remember to use the code CREATORSFROMTT to unlock a 2-week free trial of Streamlabs Ultra to help you with your transition from TikTok to exploring other platform possibilities.
Start repurposing your content, multistreaming to new platforms, and using tools like Streamlabs to take your content strategy to the next level.
