    Absolutely! I’ve been focusing more on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts lately. Can’t risk putting all my eggs in one basket, especially with TikTok’s uncertain future

    Same here. I’ve started cross-posting my TikTok content to YouTube Shorts. It’s a bit of extra work, but better safe than sorry. Plus, it helps reach a different audience.

    Don’t forget about Snapchat Spotlight! It’s been gaining traction, and the payout for top-performing content can be pretty sweet.

    I’ve been exploring emerging platforms like REDnote. It’s similar to TikTok and has been gaining users since the ban talks started. Diversifying is key right now

    It’s definitely a learning curve. Each platform has its own vibe. For instance, Instagram audiences expect more polished content compared to TikTok’s raw, unfiltered style.

    True. Engagement patterns also vary. On YouTube, longer content works better, so I’m adapting my TikTok snippets into more detailed videos.

    And let’s not forget monetization differences. Some platforms offer better revenue-sharing models, which is a big factor in where to invest time and content

    Absolutely. It’s about balancing where your audience is and where you can sustainably create content without burning out.
