If TikTok were banned, what would the impact be on your social media following?
What if YouTube decided they didn’t like what they heard in your most recent video and killed your channel?
These are scenarios that are not out of the realm of possibility and could pose a real threat to your livelihood as a creator.
FIVE helps you get and maintain access in case something like this happens.
It’s often a topic that is overlooked by creators, but having control matters. And on the Internet, for creators, control is contact information. Most creators don’t have this, yet it’s something they desperately need.
In today’s world, no one knows what can and can’t be said or how certain platforms will react to your content. I don’t think it’s by mistake that creators who have gotten one or two strikes on social media are thriving on FIVE.
Joey Papa is one of the first creators we onboarded with FIVE. He’s one of my favorite experts on the platform — and he was in a tough spot, as his channel had just been demonetized by YouTube.
He talks about sensitive topics — depression and mental illness — to 30,000 subscribers on his channel. He discusses the use of kratom and alternative treatments to help people who are struggling. He cares about people and has used social media to help thousands - however Youtube doesn't see it that way.
Update: Sadly, Joey's channel was deleted last week and this is what it looks like when you visit his page which once was subscribed to by more than 30,000 fans and supporters.
YouTube doesn’t want him talking about kratom.
That’s where FIVE came in. We’re serving as the bridge between Joey, the content he wants to make, and the community that benefits from his work. Our goal is to help Joey bring those 30,000 subscribers over to FIVE.
All creators should get as much control over their content and as much control over their community as possible. And what we’re seeing is that creator experts' most engaged fans on social platforms are following them to FIVE.
Do you have a plan for what happens to your following if TikTok gets banned, your YouTube channel gets shut down, or you get locked out of your Facebook account?
FIVE can be that bridge to help you gain control so your livelihood isn’t at stake if any of these events ever happen.
