Hey, I’m Brad Smith — founder of AutomationLinks and YouTube growth strategist. In today’s video, I’ll walk you through how to create powerful YouTube playlists that boost retention, increase watch time, and help you get more subscribers and leads.

Just like a Netflix series, the best content isn’t one-off — it’s a playlist. I’ll also show you how to generate your playlist topics using AI.
