YouTube Marketing with Fexingo: Channel Growth, Video SEO, and Long-Form Audience Building
Lucas, a former journalist, and Luna, a practicing YouTuber, break down what actually drives channel growth by examining real creator case studies and platform data instead of chasing algorithm tricks. Each episode focuses on a single metric — audience retention, click-through rate, or watch time from browse features — and ties it to a concrete production decision such as how to build a video hook, why one thumbnail outperformed another, or when to move from short-form to long-form. They reference channels like MKBHD, Ali Abdaal, and Patrick Boyle for tactical lessons, while Lucas demands the underlying YouTube Analytics evidence and Luna tests each insight against her own numbers. The show is aimed at creators building a serious channel rather than a viral hobby, asking what really moves subscriber growth without an ad budget, how to rank for competitive keywords honestly, and what separates a channel stuck at 10,000 subscribers from one that reaches 100,000.
