I think this is great advice and I tend to agree with it. However, TechLead has recently given me pause. He spun up his YouTube channel and then quickly monetized it by dropping Paypal links into the video descriptions. He later made a video talking about doing this and how he thought it was a waste for people wanting to sell dresses, for example, to build a site with a cart and checkout, etc, instead of just selling right where their audience already was. At the size his channel is now, I think it's a bit crazy of him not to have a site, but he's had larger success as an entrepreneur than I have thus far...
