How This YouTube Influencer Search Tool Works
Find YouTube Creators by Sponsor Niche
Many influencer search tools start with a content keyword or subscriber count. This discovery tool starts with actual sponsorship data: it groups YouTube creators by the categories of brands they mention in sponsored videos. Choose the sponsor niche closest to your product to find creators with relevant brand-deal experience.
That signal is useful because a creator who already runs sponsorships in your category has shown that they accept brand deals and can integrate products like yours into their content. Instead of building a list of influencers from subscriber count alone, you start with a shortlist of proven partners and then evaluate each channel's fit.

A YouTube-First Creator Discovery Tool
Sponsorship.so is built for YouTube creator discovery. The free influencer search filters channels by sponsor niche and ranks them using observed sponsorship activity. It does not search TikTok or Instagram profiles, and it does not infer audience demographics or fake-follower scores that the available data cannot support.
Use the leaderboard to identify candidates, then review recent videos, average views per video, sponsorship frequency, engagement quality, and brand fit before starting an influencer marketing campaign. No search tool can replace that channel-level review.
From Influencer Discovery to Collaboration
- Search influencers: Select the niche your brand belongs to and scan the ranked list of YouTube creators with sponsorship history.
- Evaluate fit: Check which brands each creator has worked with, their audience size, recent view counts, and their engagement rate before adding them to your list.
- Shortlist targets: Estimate a realistic budget per creator with the influencer rate calculator so your shortlist matches your spend.
- Start a collaboration: Find a creator's business email with the YouTube Email Finder and send a personalized pitch that references their past sponsorships.
