The benefits of working with YouTubers
If you’re still doubting working with influential video content creators, check out the benefits that the right YouTubers can bring you.
1. Increased brand awareness in a short time
Being present and mentioned in well-known Youtube channels among your target audience will significantly make your brand more trustworthy. Whether you’re a new or an established brand, such a collaboration will help you interact with your (potential) audience and make them aware of how cool you are.
2. Better rankings on Google
There is no marketer who doesn’t know the importance of standing high on Google search rankings. And YouTubers can help you get some links to help you with that.
If you collaborate with YouTube influencers, they will talk about your features and will review your products in their videos. Moreover, each YouTuber will provide a high-quality and relevant link that will drive traffic and improve your search rankings.
3. Build trust
Subscribers trust creators more than anything these days. They take recommendations from YouTubers to heart, even when they’re subtly sliding the message.
If a YouTuber genuinely likes your brand, their subscribers will be interested in the product mentioned in the video. That means that millions of people are becoming your potential customers because they trust the person in the video.
3 Step Process to Contact Youtubers
Even though you might think otherwise, contacting influencers is not that hard.
Let’s dive in on the top 3 methods to contact a YouTube creator.
1. How to Find a YouTubers Email
Probably the easiest way to find emails of a certain YouTuber is via their YouTube channel. Video content creators often provide contact info in the “About” section of the account.
In this field, the YouTuber will have probably listed their business email. You can click on the “View email address” button, and once you complete a quick verification the email will be made available. Once you get the email address, you can go ahead and think about what you want to say in your outreach message.
Though sometimes, there won’t be a business inquiry email available, so you’ll have to use a YouTube email finder tool or other solution.
🚀 Pro tip: Instead of searching new YouTubers and cold emailing, you can find YouTubers who are already your customers. Use the Enrichment feature on our dashboard, and upload your customer list.
We will match your list with our database of 14M+ YouTube creators and reveal all YouTubers that are already your customers.
This approach not only saves time, but also increases the chances of successful collaboration as your customers can bring more authenticity and enthusiasm to your campaigns.

2. How to Find Youtuber Emails at Scale [Alternative Method]
If you’re looking to scale your outreach efforts, then you might want to look into ways to obtain relevant YouTuber email lists. And there are tons of online tools that can help you do this. We’re talking about influencer platforms.
Most of these tools have databases with contact information about each creator. In these databases, you can typically search for relevant YouTubers based on niche and location. Unfortunately though only very few offer subscriber-based, or keyword-based targeting.
These tools are perfect if you want to find just a handful of relevant YouTube creators, but if you really want to crank it up a notch and find hundreds or thousands of relevant YouTubers then you’ll have to invest in a social media data service.
Influencers Club is exactly that. Our database of 14M+ YouTubers can be filtered from every angle – age, gender, location, niche, and even info on whether a certain creator makes money or not.
With all that plus 30+ more data points, we can give you a super-targeted list of YouTube creators including their emails.
After getting the list, you can choose the best YouTube channel owners and reach out. You can create the perfect pitch, include some keywords (relevant for both of you), and explain the purpose of the proposed collaboration.
Landing a professional email is the most likely way of getting a response from any YouTube influencer.
3. Contact them on social media platforms
You’ll land on their online site or social account with just a simple click. And since all of them have private messages features, you can visit the profiles, connect, and directly contact a YouTuber from there.
Besides, it’s not the most professional form to pitch influencers for a business proposal, there might be another problem. Some of the YouTubers have their contact messages locked on social media, and you won’t be able to get in touch.
Also, have in mind that you might wait longer for them to respond since their social media inboxes are full of comments and messages from fans.
How to reach out to YouTubers?
Now that you have picked the best way to contact a YouTuber, it’s time to prepare the pitch that will ensure you a response from your favorite YouTube video creator.
Most likely, you’ll have to contact several YouTubers to get to sign a contract with the best one. So, it’s convenient to have some ready templates that you’ll adjust to make them personal when contacting different influencers.
Check out these example templates you use to pitch any YouTuber without sounding like spam.
