What the TikTok and YouTube News Really Means for You
Jul 10, 2025 3:05 pm
Hey ,
There’s been a lot of buzz the last few days—TikTok’s future in the U.S. is uncertain again, a new app is dropping in Sept, and now YouTube is cracking down on AI-generated content.
If you’re wondering what this means for your content strategy or whether joining my Search Insights TikTok Workshop still makes sense, let’s talk about it.
1. The TikTok News: Yes, It’s Uncertain. No, It’s Not a Dealbreaker.
There are talks that TikTok has been sold and rebranded in the U.S. But here’s what matters:
The strategy I’m teaching isn’t limited to TikTok.
In fact, this search-first approach is already working across platforms.
- On my face-forward YouTube account, I’ve gained 20k+ views in the last 28 days, repurposing these videos from my TT strategy
- On my faceless YouTube Shorts channel, I’ve seen a 40k+ views increase, and it's still climbing.
And yes, in the workshop, I'm going to show you the exact repurpose strategy I use to repurpose across these platforms and still maintain the quality each platform needs for your content to thrive and not feel duplicative.
That’s the beauty of learning how the search algorithm works: it’s transferable.
Whether TikTok stays or not, this skillset puts you ahead.
2. YouTube’s AI Crackdown: What You Need to Know
YouTube recently announced stricter rules for AI-generated content, specifically de-monetizing AI-generated videos. That’s making some folks nervous, but we're marked SAFE, LOL:
We’re not doing anything that would get flagged.
Yes, I'll show you how to use AI to assist with research, trends, and SEO, but our strategy isn't dependent on AI-generated videos, deepfakes, or auto-voiced clones here.
It’s still your voice, your story, your face (or faceless brand)—just amplified for search.
The Bottom Line:
This isn’t a moment to panic.
It’s a moment to get strategic.
If you’ve been relying on vibes and hoping for virality, this workshop will show you how to create searchable, sustainable content that grows your visibility, no matter what happens next.
