I set up my own website pretty much right from the start when I created my YouTube channel. Technically it's a blog but I mostly use it to further discuss the content of my videos. It's not driving much traffic to my Youtube channel but given the fact that my YT journey only started a couple of months ago I think that's what is to be expected.
I'm not able to post the link to my website here, but if you want to see it you can go to my channel and you'll find it in the "About" section as well as as a small icon in the bottom right corner of my Youtube banner.
