1. Instagram (of course)

With 2 billion monthly active users (Statista), Instagram continues to be a powerhouse for creators. Its Reels feature is a natural fit for TikTok users looking to repurpose short-form videos while Stories and carousel posts offer diverse ways to engage audiences.

2. YouTube & YouTube Shorts

Boasting over 2.5 billion global users and 70 billion daily Shorts views (Statista, 2023), YouTube is a staple for long-form and short-form creators alike. Shorts lets TikTok users seamlessly transition their videos while tapping into YouTube’s broader audience.

4. LinkedIn

Far from its corporate roots, LinkedIn now enables 1 billion users to create and share content that builds thought leadership. Creators are using it to host live events, develop coaching programs, and engage with professional communities.

5. Pinterest

With 500 million monthly active users, Pinterest thrives as a hub for saving, learning, and shopping. Its Gen Z user base is rapidly growing, making it an excellent platform for creators to drive traffic and affiliate sales.

6. Snapchat

With 400 million monthly users, Snapchat is a Gen Z favorite. Its Stories and Spotlight features let creators experiment with short, engaging content while connecting with younger audiences.
