Summary
- I want you to remember that when you make a YouTube channel, you don't actually own it. Google does, and they can take it away if you make a mistake, like saying the wrong thing or using copyrighted content.
- It's smart to try and move your audience off YouTube and onto something like an email list. This gives you more control over your audience.
- Be careful, though. If you use external links to pull people off YouTube, the algorithm might punish your video by showing it to fewer people.
- The YouTube algorithm likes it when people stay on the platform for a long time, so videos that keep viewers on YouTube get more exposure.

How To Take Action
I would suggest focusing on building an email list for your audience. This is crucial because it gives you control over your audience, independent of YouTube's policies. You can start by offering something valuable, like a free resource or exclusive content, in exchange for their email sign-up.
A good way to implement this without harming your channel's visibility is by being smart about how you share the invitation to join your email list. You could mention it subtly in your videos without directly linking it in the description. Instead, guide your viewers to check out your website or a specific landing page at a later time, perhaps by providing a memorable URL.
Another strategy is to create content that keeps your audience engaged on YouTube. Brainstorm fun and interesting video ideas that encourage viewers to stay and watch other videos on your channel or YouTube itself. This will increase your visibility and favorability with the YouTube algorithm.
You may also consider collaborating with other creators to expand your reach without relying solely on external links. This can help grow your audience naturally while maintaining good standing with the algorithm.
By focusing on building a strong email list and creating engaging content, you'll add real value to your audience and create a more stable presence outside and within YouTube.
