Start with “Keywords” to get the obvious set: beauty, personal finance, travel, games. Then flip on the “Semantic” filter to expand beyond literal terms — synonyms, adjacent topics, and recurring themes across content and bios.

Here is how to search YouTube channels in our 357M+ YouTube influencers database
Find YouTube influencers based on category by keywords or semantic
Use locale to search YouTube channels in your country/city
Locale filtering lets you search YouTube channels in the exact geography you operate in. That matters when shipping, returns, taxes, and required disclaimers vary by market — and when you don’t want to buy reach from a YouTube channel audience outside your footprint.
Make your best creator a reference point
Your top creator isn’t rare; your inputs were. Search YouTube influencers with “Lookealikes” filter to pull creators with comparable formats, topics, and audience makeup, so your next test batch starts warm.
Select influencers based on their profile performance metrics
A channel can have huge subs and still deliver nothing. Filter your YouTube channel search by engagement rate to avoid dead reach, then narrow by channel size to match CPM/CPE expectations.

FAQs on YouTube channel finder
Is this tool completely free to use?
Yes. In addition you have a 7-days free trial for more detailed research. But it is limited in the number of searches.
How to find new YouTube channels?
If you want to exclude channels you already collaborated with from the search in IQFluence, choose them in the current results list and add them to blacklist. Then add that blacklist as a filter to your new YouTuber finder search.
How to search for YouTube channels in IQFluence?
Open the YouTube Channel Finder, type a topic (or a seed creator), then refine filters like country, language, subscriber range, and recent performance — that’s your channel search workflow in under a minute.
Can I search YouTube channels by category?
Yep. Think of it like a YouTube channel search engine for niches: you enter a category/topic, and you’ll get a tighter pool to vet instead of a giant “everything” list.
Can I find similar YouTube channels?
Yes — drop in a channel you already like and find YouTube channel lookalikes with comparable content patterns, so you scale what worked instead of restarting discovery from zero.
Can I export YouTube channel lists?
Yes — run your YouTube channel lookup, build your shortlist, and export it in CSV for your media plan, outreach tracking, or reporting.
Can I search for channels in a specific language or region?
Absolutely. Use the YouTube channel searcher filters for language + geography so you don’t pay for views in markets you can’t ship to, support, or legally advertise in.
How to find small YouTube channels?
Filter by low subscriber ranges and steady recent views (that “views per video” ratio is the tell), then find YouTubers with consistent uploads — that’s how you land a small YouTube channel that actually converts without “big name” pricing.
Do you have an email for all YouTube channels?
No — YouTube doesn’t provide a universal email database, and most creators don’t publish one publicly. IQFluence helps you find a YouTube channel and build a list you can outreach using the contact paths creators choose to share (business links, socials, or management info).
How to find good YouTube channels?
Start with engagement-rate sanity checks: many benchmark summaries put “good” YouTube ER in the mid single-digits (often ~3–7%, depending on niche + size), with smaller channels frequently trending higher than mega channels. Then validate with recency: last 10 videos’ average views, comment density, and whether performance is stable (not one viral spike carrying the whole channel).
