Description

I’ve got some fun things to share with you today, and then we’re diving into a topic I think is going to be really pressing soon: What happens if TikTok goes away?

Now, I don’t want this to sound like doom and gloom—it’s actually the perfect wake-up call to think about your bigger social media strategy. Even when platforms shift, there are things you can (and should) be doing to protect your growth, your community, and your creativity.

But before we get into that, let’s start with today’s Unsponsored Buy—a favorite new find that I think you’ll love.
