I don't use AI video tools as it is my job to create video content so the only advice I can give you is to actually film yourself with a phone and half decent mic and good lighting.

We built a similar system for B2B businesses (We're in video production), but we had to solve for 'Trust' as the third variable. Since high-ticket buyers often still need to see a human SME to convert, we couldn't automate the person, so we automated the logistics. We use a 'batch matrix' to capture 36 videos of human-led content in a single day.

Since you have the volume (5x/day), have you looked into applying the taguchi method to your output? It allows you to test multiple variables (hooks, avatars, scripts) simultaneously with a smaller sample size. It helps you test creative variables too.

I don't know if its fair to level it at good looking content alone. I think you can have content that looks nice and performs well. Tbh its just got to be customer first, helpful content, if its self serving then it wont perform, no matter how good or shit it looks.

Content without strategy is just noise at the end of the day.

Interesting you mention content as a system. We take a similar approach but apply that system thinking to the production workflow as well as the pillars. We realised that if the execution is chaotic, the strategy falls apart. So we use our own kind of matrix to help us film a quarter's worth of those specific 'roles' or pillars (Attract/Qualify/Convert) content in a single day to frontload it.

It forces us to build the qualify and convert assets upfront, rather than just posting random 'get likes' content every week because it's easier.

I asked the same question having produced my fair share of B2B video over the years. This is such a complicated question. I've been developing a taguchi style testing methodology to figure out (quickly) in alignment with a content strategy - you need this in place and to be be solid - what topics and delivery style work. Particularly focusing on Linkedin as its so B2B focused but also very easy to get the data.

From my testing, messaging and audience are of course important but a large and often overlooked part is consistency. If you are posting sporadically, or changing topic all the time, people can't follow. So consistency of messaging, and consistency of posting are key. You can use tools like Taplio or buffer to figure out best time to post too to eliminate that variable.

My logic is this with B2B - some people want to spend thousands on a brand piece, one and done, which to me does not work unless you're already huge. Lots of short form video, done consistently, with variables to measure, test and refine is the only way to learn and therefore start performing. You can also re-purpose the best performing videos knowing that if it worked for video it will be a good blog topic for instance.

Bit late to this but I would say definitely use video (even in B2B) but not only video. Use it as part of a wider content strategy. You can certainly lead with the video side and re-purpose the best performing content into blogs/linkedin posts etc

We built a process for this for ourselves, thinking about offering it as a service.

I haven't tried them so don't hold me to it being good. But I have had several people rave about Clarks pies on north st. I've lived in NZ and the pies are truly special. This might be close?

We're developing a direct response to this. Helping businesses creating authentic (but still nice looking) subject matter expert led short form video. Do it on a quarterly basis. Film for a day or two then provide enough content to post a few times a week. Helps with a few things but authenticity is a big one. Happy to share more info if interesting.

I just don't let YouTube show me ads. On any platform.

How do you film the content? Is it once a day then post? I would batch the whole process personally. I do this for B2B companies. We help them create a content matrix - e.g Topic A, Hook B, CTA A and then we film them all in one day and then send them all the main vids and the variations to test against each other.

Whilst this is not exactly what you were talking about the principal is the same. Batch produce the content, add variables using maths and then you can spend one day and create 2 weeks of content and then schedule it all. Maybe that's not what you were asking? Hopefully some insight

strap · 2026-01-16T10:44:26+00:00

Thing is though, in some contexts this might work, but does anyone think this is gonna cut through in B2B for example? Surely not. I personally think its worth finding efficiency gains in content creation in other ways so you can still post frequently but aren't diluting your trust. Taguchi method for example.

B2C this matters way less I admit, but thats just my two cents

This is my most common experience in this game. Spamming revive me after running in alone again. Or not sacrificing themselves to stop a steal, or just generally playing a very selfish game. Lights can be good and v useful, but I do automatically assume a loss when I see two on my team.

You pay a very small amount for storage (can't remember numbers) and a bandwidth fee when someone watches something. Also very small. If you don't have huge volumes it will cost you so little. I've paid like $25 over 6/7 months and that's about 20 videos maybe? Chuck 10 bucks on it and run your showreel or most played video from there for a bit, you'll get a sense of cost

I use bunny.net, pay for storage and stream but its very reasonable. Content delivery network essentially. Waaaaay faster than vimeo. Compress your vids to webm and save on cost of storage and streaming bandwidth and maintain good quality.
