Reader-owned audience

A reader-owned audience is a direct relationship with readers through channels you control, like your email list, archive, and domain.

A reader-owned audience means the relationship lives on channels you control: subscribers you can email, an archive on your domain, and readers who arrive on purpose.

It's the opposite of an algorithmic audience. A million followers can vanish behind a feed change; a thousand subscribers are yours wherever you publish.
