How the TikTok ban impacts the creator economy

On Sunday, January 19, 2025, TikTok temporarily ceased to operate in the United States, leaving millions of creators unable to access a crucial platform for growth, creativity, and connection.

Whether TikTok will remain operational long-term in the U.S. remains unclear. However, the disruption also offers an opportunity to diversify, innovate, and strengthen creator businesses beyond a single platform.

Pull in your Instagram images

We see no reason why your beautiful, curated Instagram pics should only be seen on that one platform. Which is why you can directly pull your Instagram Feed into a Broadcast or Sequence email, or onto a Form or Landing Page. See step-by-step instructions on how to make this happen.

How you can use your Instagram images:

  • Pull your latest image into your emails. Include your most recent pic in every Broadcast in order to drive more followers to your Instagram.
  • Save time. Skip the work of downloading and uploading your images. If you already have the perfect shot on Instagram, you can pull it directly into your Broadcast, Sequence, Form, or Landing Page.
  • Share your entire dynamic Instagram Feed. Add your entire Feed to a Landing Page or a Form, and your audience will always be up to date on your work.
