TikTalk Radio: Business Strategy for TikTok Content Creators

Today we're chatting about the discussion around banning TikTok in the US. Several Republican governors have banned TikTok on government devices in their states and now a bill to ban TikTok nationwide is being reviewed. Since recording this episode, legislation to ban TikTok on all government employee devices has been passed by Congress and the Senate. 

Marco Rubio has now proposed a bill that would ban TikTok and Bytedance operating in the US until it is deemed "safe" by the Biden administration's ongoing security review of the app. 

Here's whats going on, my thoughts, and how you can set yourself up for success by diversifying your content distribution. Remember, we don't 'own' our following on any platform so there is always a need to prep for the worst case scenario of losing your audience overnight regardless of where you're posting!
