How to make money from YouTube
I have a YT channel on a weight-loss niche. The channel has 6 videos and they are all ranking in top 10 of their keywords. Inside the video and in the description, I direct viewers directly to an affiliate website (using a link shortener/redirect).
I know that directly linking to an affiliate website is risky and that my channel can get banned. This is why I am seeking your advice on what to do.
1. Should I create my own website, set up a landing page and then direct the visitors to the affiliate website?
2. Should I set up my own website with an opt-in page and then add those visitors to my list and then market from there?
Is there another great option that I can use.
Thank you for your answers!
