YouTube Strategy for B2B Founders: What You Get in the First 30 Days
A strategy is not a PDF. It's the plan that tells you what to film, for whom, and how a video turns into a booked call. Here is exactly what we build.

What is a YouTube strategy for a B2B business?
Most “YouTube strategies” are lists of tips: post consistently, use keywords, make a good thumbnail. A real strategy answers harder questions. Who exactly buys from you? What do they ask before they pay? Which videos answer those questions? How do viewers find them, and how does a viewer become a call?
For a high-ticket business, video is a sales asset. You don't need a million views. You need about a hundred decision-makers who watch your long-form thinking, trust your method, and come to the call ready to talk. The strategy is the plan that gets you there.
What do you get in the first 30 days?
| Deliverable | What it is |
|---|---|
| Market and competitor research | Who is already doing YouTube in your niche, what works for them and where the gaps are |
| Buyer and objection map | The questions and doubts your buyers have before paying, each one becomes a video |
| 30-day content plan | A table of videos with the goal and format of each: reach, warm-up and conversion |
| Anchor scripts | Key points and questions for the first shoot, written from your stories |
| Packaging rules | How titles, thumbnails and descriptions should work for your audience |
| A path to the call | Where each video sends the viewer: a call, a free document or the next video |
| Tracking | How you will know which video brought which lead |

What do our strategies look like in practice?
I publish strategies openly, so you can judge the thinking before you talk to me:
- The strategy I'd build if Jasmin Alic were my client. She has almost 400,000 LinkedIn followers and a small, unfocused YouTube channel. Competitor research, five content pillars, a launch plan.
- How I'd use YouTube to sell Brian Mark's $10K offer to a new audience. 700,000 Instagram followers, and a YouTube channel that looks like random thoughts.
How much does a YouTube strategy cost?
Prices vary with depth and who does the work. Typical ranges from public 2026 guides (approximate):
| Option | Typical price |
|---|---|
| A one-hour call with a consultant | about $100–1,000 |
| One-off channel audit | about $300–3,000 |
| Full strategy engagement | about 3,000–10,000 euros |
| Ongoing advisory retainer | about 1,000–3,000 euros a month |
| Fractional YouTube marketer | about $75–200 an hour |
At our agency, the strategy is part of every project, so you don't pay for a document that sits in a folder. The format is agreed on a call, and you get a 7-day money back guarantee.

How is a B2B strategy different from a creator strategy?
A creator strategy chases views: trends, hooks and viral formats. A B2B strategy follows a long sales cycle. It answers the questions a buyer asks when a decision costs a lot, and the best videos often have modest views. One of our clients has a video with 222 views that future franchise partners need to decide. Views are not the point. The right viewer is.
Can I buy only the strategy?
We can discuss that on a call. But I'll be honest: a strategy alone does not solve the whole problem. Most founders get stuck at filming, editing and publishing, so a good plan never reaches the audience. It works best when the same team that writes the strategy also produces the videos, and that is how we work.
FAQ
What is a YouTube strategy for a B2B business?
It is a plan that defines who your buyers are, what questions they ask before paying, which videos answer them, how those videos get found, and how a viewer becomes a call. It covers research, content plan, scripts, packaging and the path to your calendar.
What do I get in the first 30 days?
A market and competitor analysis, a buyer and objection map, a 30-day content plan with video formats, anchor scripts for the first shoot, packaging rules for titles and thumbnails, and a path from video to booked call with tracking.
How much does a YouTube strategy cost?
Market prices in 2026: a one-off channel audit costs about $300 to $3,000, a full strategy engagement about 3,000 to 10,000 euros, and an ongoing advisory retainer about 1,000 to 3,000 euros a month. At Evgeny Maximov's agency the strategy is part of every project, and the format is agreed on a call.
Is a strategy enough, or do I need production too?
A strategy without production stays a document. Most founders get stuck at filming, editing and publishing, so the plan never reaches the audience. It works best when the same team writes the strategy and produces the videos.
How is a YouTube strategy for B2B different from a creator strategy?
A creator strategy chases views and trends. A B2B strategy answers the questions a buyer has during a long sales cycle, and measures calls and clients. In high-ticket sales you need the right few hundred viewers, not millions.
Can you show examples of your strategies?
Yes. Evgeny Maximov published a strategy he would build if Jasmin Alic, a creator with almost 400k LinkedIn followers, were his client, and one for Brian Mark, an Instagram creator with 700k followers. Both are available as articles.
What does the content plan look like?
A table of videos with the goal and format of each, split into reach, warm-up and conversion content, plus a column of questions for the speaker that becomes the anchor script. A sample plan for high-ticket B2B is available free.
How long does it take to see results from a strategy?
Expect months, not weeks. Search starts working after a library of videos builds up, and measuring by views makes founders quit right before it works. The numbers to track are calls and clients.
Do I need to be on camera?
Usually yes, because personal trust sells high-ticket services. But the strategy can also use your team, facility tours and client interviews when you don't want to carry every video.
Can I just buy the strategy without production?
We can discuss it on a call. But a strategy alone does not solve the whole problem, and it works much better when the same team also produces the videos.
