Why youtubers are worth prospecting
Brands sponsor creators every day, and creators hire editors and designers. The business email on a channel is how both conversations start.
Where to find youtubers
YouTubers 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 |
|---|---|
| tech review | YouTube |
| personal finance | YouTube |
| cooking | YouTube |
| travel vlog | YouTube |
| gaming | YouTube |
Who to contact
At most YouTube channels, the decision-maker is the creator or their manager. 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 youtubers buy
- Sponsorships and brand deals
- Editing and thumbnail design
- Merch
- Channel management
If you sell any of these, a targeted list of youtubers is the fastest way to fill your pipeline.
Filters that surface the best leads
- 10K–500K subscribers (reachable but established)
- Uploaded in the last 30 days
- Email found
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 youtubers
- Open the YouTube scraper and add keywords such as "tech review", "personal finance", "cooking" (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–500K subscribers (reachable but established); uploaded in the last 30 days; email found.
- 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
Hi {FirstName}, loved your recent {Topic} video — we're a brand looking for creators in your niche for a paid integration. Open to details?
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
Mid-size creators reply more than the biggest channels, who route everything through agencies.
What it costs
Prospect Cheap charges one credit per lead, and a search that fails costs nothing. A list of 500 youtubers 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.
