How to Build a YouTube Audience With Long-Form Video
Description
Episode 4 of YouTube Marketing with Fexingo dives into the power of long-form content for audience building. Lucas and Luna unpack why videos over 20 minutes often outperform shorter clips, using real data from channels like MKBHD and a case study of a finance creator who grew from 5,000 to 150,000 subscribers by shifting to 30-minute deep dives. They break down YouTube's algorithm preference for watch time, the role of retention graphs, and practical tips for structuring longer videos without losing viewers. The episode also covers the trade-off between frequency and depth, and how to use chapters and pinned comments to boost engagement. Perfect for creators tired of chasing viral shorts who want a sustainable audience strategy.
