Why course creators are worth prospecting
Course creators sell from their YouTube audience. They buy editing, launches and community tools — and they put business emails on their channels.
Where to find course creators
Course creators increasingly build their audience on YouTube, and most put a business email on their channel. Prospect Cheap searches YouTube by keyword, collects the channels and enriches them with emails, the owner's name, website and social links.
Search terms that work well:
| Search term | Source |
|---|---|
| online course | YouTube |
| how to make money online | YouTube |
| learn excel | YouTube |
| photography course | YouTube |
Who to contact
At most online course businesses, the decision-maker is the creator. Prospect Cheap looks for that person's name on the business website and public profiles and gives each owner match a confidence score, so you can write to a real person instead of "info@".
What course creators buy
- Course platforms and community tools
- Video editing and thumbnails
- Launch and ads services
- Sponsorships
If you sell any of these, a targeted list of course creators is the fastest way to fill your pipeline.
Filters that surface the best leads
- 10K+ subscribers
- Website found (they sell something)
- Uploaded in the last 30 days
Every list has quick filters and a full filter panel, so you can narrow thousands of results to the few hundred that fit your offer before you export anything.
How to build a list of course creators
- Open the YouTube scraper and add keywords such as "online course", "how to make money online", "learn excel" (bulk keywords work too).
- Optionally filter by country, upload date and video length to match the creators you want.
- Choose how many channels per keyword. One credit per channel found.
- Filter the list: 10K+ subscribers; website found (they sell something); uploaded in the last 30 days.
- Export to CSV, Instantly or GoHighLevel.
Each lead includes channel name and URL, subscribers, country, niche, number of videos, last upload date and video, business email, owner name, website, and Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and X links.
A first email that fits
{FirstName}, your {Topic} videos convert viewers into students — want help packaging them into a launch that sells more seats?
Keep it short, mention something specific to the business, and ask one easy question. Variables like {FirstName} come straight from the export columns.
Good to know
Skool community member lists are a second source of course buyers and creators.
What it costs
Prospect Cheap charges one credit per lead, and a search that fails costs nothing. A list of 500 course creators uses 500 credits. The Starter plan includes 10,000 credits a month for $29, and every new account gets 100 free credits to test with — no card needed.
