# Communicate with your audience and collect emails

tips

Apr 4, 2025

One of the most challenging parts of being a creator is depending on an audience tied to a specific platform. This means you don't actually own your audience (the platform does), which makes it harder to
- bring your audience to a new platform,
- control who sees your content and updates due to platform-specific algorithms,
- manage your audience.

Enter **the email list**. Here's where you can collect the emails of visitors and create a permanent communication channel to your audience. On your [Beacons page](https://beacons.ai/), it looks something like this:

Turn it on by [logging in](https://beacons.ai/account) and going to the **Links** tab or the **Email List** section (under the top-right menu).

This is what it looks like for visitors of your page:

As soon as at least one visitor leaves their email with you, you can download the list of emails right from the Email List section of your account page.

AND it doesn't even take up that much space! Amazing, right? 😎
