Will TikTok Be Banned in the U.S.? Here’s What Creators Must Know (2025 Update)

TikTok is back in the headlines—but this time, it's not just clickbait. In this episode, I break down what the new federal law actually means, how it impacts creators and small business owners, and what you need to be doing today to future-proof your content strategy.

Spoiler: This isn’t a call to panic. It’s a call to prepare.

We’ll talk about:

• The real story behind the September 17th deadline
• How to repurpose your TikToks for other platforms
• Why audience migration is critical right now
• What I tell my clients and students to do (step-by-step)
