Why most B2B content strategies fail in the first 90 days
Target PlatformYouTube (16:9, 8-12 minutes)
Pacing and ToneConversational, medium-paced. Not overly polished. Keep pauses where I'm thinking, but cut filler words and tangents.
Hook (First 10 Seconds)Start at 02:14 where I say: "Most content strategies don't fail because the ideas are bad. They fail because no one built the system to actually execute them." Cut everything before that.
Key Clips to Keep
- 05:30 to 06:45: Story about the Series B company that published twice, then stopped.
- 12:20 to 13:10: The three mistakes most teams make in the first quarter.
- 18:00 to 18:45: The "content calendar isn't a strategy" rant.
- 00:00 to 02:13: Intro ramble, not needed.
- 09:30 to 10:15: Off-topic tangent about email marketing.
- 16:00 to 17:00: Repetitive explanation, already covered earlier.
- At 05:30: Pull up a simple "Before/After" text overlay showing "12 posts planned" vs. "2 posts published."
- At 12:20: Add bullet points on screen for the three mistakes as I list them.
- At 18:00: Text overlay: "A content calendar ≠ a content strategy."
End at 19:30. Add end screen with: "Want help building a content system that doesn't fall apart? Link in description." Fade to black, no outro music.
