## Resource

Episode 89 of YouTube Marketing with Fexingo breaks down how playlists are an underused lever for boosting total watch time and signaling relevance to YouTube's algorithm. Lucas and Luna discuss the strategy behind thematic grouping, sequential watching, and how a single well-structured playlist can increase a viewer's session from one video to four. They look at a case study of a tech reviewer who doubled his channel's average channel watch time by reorganizing his back catalog into targeted playlists. No clickbait — just a practical playbook for creators who want the algorithm to reward them for good curation. #YouTubeMarketing #VideoSEO #PlaylistStrategy #WatchTime #Algorithm #ContentCuration #YouTubeGrowth #ChannelGrowth #LongFormAudience #VideoMarketing #CreatorTips #SessionTime #Queuing #YouTubeSEO #ContentStrategy #AudienceRetention #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
