A fiction author’s real YouTube channel breakdown — audiobooks, playlists, Shorts, and hidden tricks.
Can fiction authors actually publish audiobooks on YouTube and have it work?
In this episode, I sit down with author Mark Leslie Lefebvre and we do something unusual: we open his YouTube channel and walk through it together.
We look at:
? Full audiobooks on YouTube
? Audio-only podcast uploads
? Shorts that lead to longer videos
? Playlists that organize a chaotic channel
?? Chapter timestamps for audiobooks
? YouTube promotions and analytics
Along the way we discover a bunch of simple YouTube tricks most creators don’t know about — including how to link Shorts to full videos and how to automatically generate chapter timestamps for long audiobook uploads.
But here’s the thing…
This episode is very visual because we’re literally walking through Mark’s channel and making changes live.
So if you want to see the full breakdown, the thumbnails, the clips, and the audiobook examples, you’ll definitely want to watch the video version.
