What would you do if TikTok disappeared tomorrow? In this episode of Rocky Mountain Marketing, I unpack the looming TikTok ban and its potential impact on creators, businesses, and the social media landscape. With a January 19th deadline for ByteDance to sell TikTok’s U.S. operations or face a ban, this isn’t just a news headline—it’s a wake-up call for everyone relying on the platform.

I share actionable strategies to prepare for a TikTok-less future, including diversifying your social media strategy, leveraging other platforms like Instagram and YouTube, and focusing on owned assets like email marketing. This episode is your guide to staying adaptable in an ever-changing digital world.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why TikTok is facing a potential ban: Data privacy, national security concerns, and how ByteDance is addressing them.
• How to diversify your social media strategy now: Start repurposing TikTok content for platforms like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
• Why building an email list is critical: Own your audience and reduce reliance on any single platform.
• The impact of TikTok’s powerful algorithm: Learn why its data collection has raised privacy red flags.
• How to stay ahead of platform changes: Adapt and evolve to ensure your content strategy remains effective, no matter the trends.
