Uses
- Influencer marketing — build a shortlist of creators in your industry.
- Collaborations — find similar-sized channels for collabs and shout-outs.
- Competitor research — discover who else is publishing about your topic.
- Niche validation — few channels with modest subscriber counts can mean an opportunity.
Searching effectively
- Use specific keywords ("budget travel Sri Lanka" rather than "travel").
- Try your audience's language and local terms.
- Search for formats too ("podcast", "vlog", "tutorial").
Vetting channels
Subscriber counts can be misleading. Check average views per video and recent upload frequency with YouTube Channel Statistics, and look at a few recent videos' engagement with YouTube Video Statistics before reaching out.
Frequently asked questions
How do I search for YouTube channels only?
Enter a keyword here. The tool returns channels, not videos, with their subscribers and links.
How do I find creators for sponsorships?
Search by niche keyword, then check each channel's average views and recent uploads before contacting them.
Why do some results show the handle instead of video count?
YouTube's public search results show different details for different channels; the YouTube API provides exact counts when configured.
