Butcher's guide to buying and cooking cheaper cuts of beef

Audience

Home cooks and grocery shoppers, mainly in the US, who buy beef at Costco, Sam's Club and supermarkets and want to spend less without losing quality (inferred from titles and descriptions; the about text is empty and there are no audience statistics).

• Realistic avatar
• A photorealistic older man with a full white beard and receding grey hair, shown from the chest up in an apron over plaid, denim or sweater tops, or in a white butcher coat with black gloves. He looks at the camera and points at the meat; clothing and background change from thumbnail to thumbnail.

Format

About 20 minutes, one topic per video: the title promises a money-saving or 'stop buying X' claim, the butcher opens with the common mistake, gives his name and asks for a subscribe, then explains the cuts, stores or cooking method and closes on one rule.

Content pillars

• Cheap cuts that replace pricey steaks
• Store buying guides: Costco, Sam's Club, grocery chains
• Cuts and brands to avoid
• Steak, rib and brisket cooking methods
• Home butchery: curing bacon, seasoning, freezer stocking

Thumbnails

The white-bearded presenter looks into the camera beside the meat, pointing or raising a hand toward trays, a pile of cuts or a storefront, in a new outfit and setting each time. Large white or yellow block captions (NEVER BUY HERE), price tags, red arrows.

Why it works

• A 'Butcher' credential in the titles: 16 of 22 titles use it (9 say 'Veteran Butcher'), and so do all 10 of the most viewed videos
• One breakout: the Costco ribeye 'buy this instead' video has 11,605 views, about 48% of the channel's 24,306; the median video has about 350
• Thumbnails show a price or a store in 6 of 10 sampled ($100 vs $50, $4.99, $5/POUND, $120 vs $120; Walmart and Costco fronts)
• High output: 21 videos between Aug 5 and Aug 29, about 6 a week, each 16 to 22 minutes long
• A repeatable script: both transcripts open with a contrarian claim, then the persona's name and a subscribe ask, before the long explainer
