Phil Starkovich Co-Founder & First CEO · TubeBuddy Managed Andrew directly

"Leading video production and community, Andrew Kan helped transform TubeBuddy from a simple YouTube browser extension into a thriving community of passionate creators and a thought-leader in the digital video space. He consistently exceeded expectations and always put the team and our customers first. Andrew Kan's ability to relate to users and provide nuanced product feedback ultimately led to a product loved by millions of YouTubers around the world."

Jim Starkovich, TubeBuddy Co-Founder
Jim Starkovich Co-Founder · TubeBuddy Managed Andrew directly

"As TubeBuddy's first full time hire, Andrew Kan had a huge impact on its success. He is a self starter who can run a team with very little guidance. His ability to understand the goals, set the priorities, and run a team is a huge benefit both to startups and larger organizations. Not only did he successfully run multiple teams for TubeBuddy, but he also became the face of TubeBuddy and created the bulk of its video content. He is truly a jack of all trades and valuable member of the team."

  1. Map your channel's current state

    Submit your YouTube channel link, current goals, and where you're stuck through a short intake form. Andrew Kan reads it before your session so the live call starts in strategy mode, not catch-up mode.

    • Private intake form (channel + goals + sticking points)
    • Pre-call brief delivered to Andrew Kan

  2. Andrew Kan diagnoses what's blocking growth

    Andrew analyzes your YouTube Studio analytics, your channel packaging, and your recent uploads to identify what's actually holding the channel back. It's the same diagnostic work that helped Joanne Watt at StreamYard reach 100,000+ subscribers on YouTube. For Channel Audit clients, this becomes a written deep dive between the kickoff and delivery calls.

    • YouTube Studio analytics review (CTR, retention, traffic)
    • Channel packaging audit (titles, thumbnails, naming)
    • Recent uploads breakdown (5–10 most recent)
    60–120 minutes · Andrew, async or live
  3. Live working session on Zoom

    A 90-minute working session with Andrew Kan on Zoom. Real-time strategy, prioritized recommendations, and the actual edits you need to make next, tailored to your channel data and goals. The session is recorded so nothing gets missed.

    • 90-minute Zoom session with Andrew Kan
    • Full session recording delivered to you or your team
    • Prioritized recommendations doc (Channel Audit + Monthly Advisory)

  4. Execute the plan and watch your YouTube metrics shift

    You execute the recommendations with the session recording as your reference. As new uploads land, you see CTR, retention, and traffic move inside YouTube Studio. That's the signal Andrew Kan refines the next round of strategy against. Monthly Advisory clients run this loop continuously, with Andrew reviewing fresh data every month.

    • Permanent access to the session recording
    • 30-day follow-up window for clarifying questions
    • Option to book a follow-up session once new data lands

YouTube Consulting FAQ

YouTube consulting questions answered by Andrew Kan.

Real answers about pricing, refunds, what to expect, and how every YouTube consulting engagement with Andrew Kan actually works.

How much does YouTube consulting with Andrew Kan cost?

Andrew Kan's YouTube consulting starts at $199.99 for a 90-minute Strategy Session. The Channel Audit and 90-day Roadmap is $999.99. Monthly Advisory starts at $2,499.99 per month with a 3-month minimum, and scales up from there based on scope. The Growth Check-In bundle gives you 3 Strategy Sessions for $499.99 instead of $599.97, a $100 savings.

Why does Monthly Advisory say "starting at" $2,499.99 per month?

$2,499.99 per month is the entry price for Monthly Advisory. That covers up to 4 Zoom calls a month with Andrew Kan, monthly YouTube analytics reviews, on-demand thumbnail and title feedback between calls, and a full Channel Audit included to start.

Pricing scales up from there based on scope: more sessions per month, more team members on every call, multiple YouTube channels under review, faster turnaround on feedback, or work outside the standard scope like internal team training. Custom scopes are quoted after a short discovery call so Andrew Kan and your team agree on exactly what's needed before anyone signs anything.

What is the difference between Strategy Session, Channel Audit, and Monthly Advisory?

The Strategy Session is one 90-minute Zoom call with Andrew Kan for clear direction on your YouTube channel. The Channel Audit + Roadmap is a full diagnosis with two 90-minute calls (kickoff and delivery), an async deep dive between them, a written audit report, and a 90-day roadmap document. Monthly Advisory is an ongoing retainer with up to 4 Zoom calls per month and a full Channel Audit included to start.

Is YouTube consulting worth it for creators and brands?

Yes, for both. Andrew Kan has worked with individual creators and brands at every scale. He grew TubeBuddy's YouTube channel from 6,000 to 530,000+ subscribers and helped earn 12 YouTube Play Buttons. During his time at TubeBuddy he also contributed to YouTube strategy work for Fox Sports, BBC, Paramount, and Family Feud. Most YouTube consultants pick a lane. Andrew has done both.

Does Andrew Kan offer YouTube consulting for businesses and brands?

Yes. Andrew Kan works directly with brands, agencies, and in-house marketing teams on their YouTube strategy. He was YouTube & Video Manager for Salesforce Global Recruitment Marketing, and during his time at TubeBuddy contributed to YouTube strategy work for Fox Sports, BBC, Paramount, and Family Feud. The Channel Audit and Monthly Advisory services are built specifically for brands and teams who need a senior YouTube strategist without hiring one full-time.

Do I work directly with Andrew Kan or is this delegated?

You work directly with Andrew Kan on every call. Every YouTube consulting engagement is 1-on-1 with Andrew. Not a junior coach, not an account manager, not a team member. Andrew personally reviews your YouTube channel, runs every session, and writes every report.

What is your consulting refund and rescheduling policy?

You can request a full refund within 30 calendar days of purchase as long as the work hasn't started, meaning your Strategy Session hasn't happened, your Channel Audit calls haven't begun, or your Monthly Advisory hasn't had its first scheduled call. Once Andrew Kan has started the work, including any session you booked but didn't attend, all sales are final. Refunds are full or none.

Need to reschedule? Send a heads up through our contact form and we'll find a new time. Life happens. The only thing we ask is that you don't no-show, since that time was held just for you.

All payments are processed through Stripe. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days. Reach out before opening a chargeback so we can sort it out directly.

How is YouTube consulting different from joining The KDCC membership?

The KDCC is group coaching for creators at any level. YouTube consulting is private 1-on-1 work with Andrew Kan on your specific channel. The Kan Do Creators Community has live group calls, member-only Discord channels, and the KANDO Method framework starting free. Every consulting client also gets 1 month of KDCC Authority included.

What happens after I book a YouTube consulting session?

After payment, you receive an email with a calendar link to book your Zoom session with Andrew Kan. For the Channel Audit, Andrew schedules a 90-minute kickoff call, completes the async deep dive, then schedules the 90-minute delivery call to walk through the written report and 90-day roadmap. For Monthly Advisory, you start with a full Channel Audit.

Will I get a recording of my YouTube consulting call?

Yes. Every Zoom session with Andrew Kan is recorded and the full recording is delivered to you after the call. For the Channel Audit, you also receive a written report with prioritized actions plus the recorded delivery call so your team can reference everything later.

Are YouTube consulting sessions required to be recorded?

Yes. Recording is required for all YouTube consulting engagements with Andrew Kan. Every Zoom call is recorded so both you and Andrew have an accurate reference of what was discussed and agreed on. This is non-negotiable and protects both parties. If you're not comfortable being recorded, YouTube consulting isn't the right fit and you shouldn't book a session.

What should I have ready before my first session with Andrew Kan?

You need your YouTube channel URL, access to YouTube Studio analytics, and 2 to 3 specific questions or videos you want feedback on. You must be at a desktop or laptop computer for your call. You'll share your screen and walk through your YouTube channel with Andrew Kan live so he can review your data with you. No prep document required.

Can my whole team join the YouTube consulting calls?

Yes. Your whole team is welcome on every Zoom call with Andrew Kan, whether you're a creator bringing your editor and thumbnail designer or a brand bringing your content team and marketing leads. This matters most for the Channel Audit delivery call and Monthly Advisory sessions where everyone hears the strategy directly from Andrew.
