## Resource

Episode 57 of YouTube Marketing with Fexingo dives into a specific and often overlooked strategy: using public playlists to boost watch time and subscriber growth. Lucas explains how a curated playlist can increase session time by 40% or more by keeping viewers in a continuous loop, citing a case from a mid-sized tech channel. Luna pushes back on the 'just create a playlist' advice, asking about pitfalls like algorithmic cannibalization. They discuss the optimal number of videos per playlist, the role of description keyword strategy, and when to use serial versus thematic playlists. The episode ends with a concrete tip: link your best-performing video to a playlist that starts with a weaker video to maximize total watch time. Listeners get a clear, actionable framework for playlist structure that goes beyond the obvious. #YouTubePlaylists #WatchTime #SubscriberGrowth #VideoSEO #YouTubeMarketing #ContentStrategy #YouTubeAlgorithm #SessionTime #PlaylistOptimization #RetentionStrategy #YouTubeTips #ChannelGrowth #Marketing #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #YouTubeStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
