The Problem

Tax content has a reputation for being dry, dense, and unwatchable. SimpleBooks wanted to launch a dedicated tax education channel targeting Sri Lankan small business owners — but had no system, no presenter, and no content framework to make complex tax topics accessible and shareable.

My Role

I owned everything. I was the researcher, scriptwriter, on-camera presenter, edit plan creator, SEO strategist, and publishing manager — all in one. This was a true zero-to-one build with no existing audience to leverage.

What I Did

  • Researched competitor tax channels (Tax Advisor, Lanka Tax) to identify content gaps and winning formats
  • Used LLMs and deep research to verify topic depth and audience relevance before committing to production
  • Wrote scripts that opened with strong hooks and ended with powerful CTAs — making complex tax law feel approachable and actionable
  • Recorded audio versions for tax team approval before video production — eliminating costly reshoots
  • Presented on camera for all videos as the channel's main host
  • Created detailed edit plans for each video specifying pacing, text highlights, and visual elements
  • Handled full YouTube publishing: SEO-optimised titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, and scheduling
  • Distributed short-form versions weekly across FB, IG, TikTok, and LinkedIn

The Results

  • Grew channel from 0 to 15,000+ targeted subscribers
  • Established the channel as a trusted tax education resource for Sri Lankan small business owners
  • Proved that "boring" professional content can be made magnetic with the right scripting and format strategy
  • Built a fully documented production workflow that ran consistently week after week

The Insight

The biggest mistake most professional service brands make is assuming their audience won't engage with complex topics. The truth is people will watch anything if it's relevant to their pain and presented clearly. By combining deep research with a strong hook framework, I turned Sri Lanka's most avoided content category into a growing community. This is exactly the approach I use for high-ticket coaches and consultants who think their industry is "too niche" to go viral.
