How to get more watch time without long videos?

I’m running a niche channel where long videos don’t fit. Any creative tricks to increase total watch time without uploading 10-minute videos?

this from a niche 8 second animation video. Uploaded last year. Tip? Find more viral content to make just as viral content that lasts less than 10 seconds. lol

Focus on extremely high retention for every second of your short content. Every video needs to be packed. Then, build playlists or miniseries that naturally encourage viewers to go from one short video right into the next. Use strong end screens or quick calls to action to direct them to other relevant content on your channel. More quality uploads frequently can also stack up that total watch time fast if people are watching multiple.

Link short videos in playlists or series to boost binge-watching. Hook viewers fast and keep content tight. Multiple shorts add up to strong watch time.
