I need to find fitness YouTube channels with 10K–500K subscribers and reach out about UGC collaborations. I'm doing it all manually right now and it takes forever.

I can automate that entire workflow. Let me research fitness channels in that subscriber range and pull their contact info. I'll set up a Google Sheet to track everything.

Google Sheets — Outreach Tracker

Channel · Email · Status · Response date

Perfect. I want to send each creator a personalized email mentioning their most recent video and our collaboration rates.

Done. I've drafted personalized outreach emails for each creator — each one references their latest video title and your rate card. Here's a preview before I send them through Gmail.

Gmail — 47 outreach drafts ready

Personalized with channel name + recent video

Can you also track who opens the email and who replies?

Absolutely. Your tracking sheet will auto-update with response status — replied, opened, or no response after 5 days. I'll also flag anyone who says yes so you can prioritize follow-ups.

How to automate YouTube creator outreach with Adaptive

1

Define your niche and criteria

Tell Adaptive what kind of YouTube channels you're looking for in plain English — for example, "fitness creators with 10K to 500K subscribers who post workout videos." Adaptive searches YouTube and builds a list of matching channels.

2

Find creator emails automatically

Adaptive scans each channel's About page, linked socials, and public business contact info to find email addresses. All results are organized in a Google Sheet with channel name, subscriber count, email, and a link to their latest video.

3

Send personalized outreach via Gmail

Adaptive drafts a personalized email for each creator referencing their channel and recent content. You review the drafts, make any tweaks, and send them all through your Gmail — or let Adaptive send automatically.

Track responses in Google Sheets

Every reply, open, and follow-up is logged automatically in your tracking sheet. You see at a glance who's interested, who needs a follow-up, and who hasn't responded — so you never lose track of a deal.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about youtube channel outreach.

Adaptive automatically scans YouTube channel About pages, linked social profiles, and public business contact information to find creator email addresses. You describe the type of channels you want to reach — for example, "beauty creators with 50K to 200K subscribers" — and Adaptive builds a list with verified emails, subscriber counts, and links to recent videos. No manual searching required.

The most effective approach combines targeted research, personalized messaging, and organized tracking. Adaptive handles all three: it finds creators matching your criteria, drafts emails that reference each creator's specific content (so they don't feel mass-produced), and tracks every response in a Google Sheet. This lets you run outreach campaigns at scale while keeping the personal touch that gets replies.

Yes. Adaptive drafts each email individually, referencing the creator's channel name, their most recent video, and your specific collaboration offer. Because the emails are contextually personalized — not just "Hi {first_name}" mail merge — they read like genuine messages. You can also review and edit every draft before sending to make sure each one matches your brand voice.

Adaptive logs every outreach email in a Google Sheet with columns for channel name, email, subscriber count, date sent, response status, and notes. The sheet updates automatically when creators reply, so you always know who's interested, who needs a follow-up, and where each conversation stands. No manual updating required.

Most users set up their first campaign in under 15 minutes. You describe your target creators in plain English, Adaptive researches and builds the list, you review the personalized email drafts, and send. The entire workflow — from defining your niche to emails landing in creator inboxes — can happen in a single sitting.

Absolutely. Adaptive works for any creator outreach workflow — UGC campaigns, sponsored video deals, affiliate partnerships, product seeding, or brand ambassador programs. You describe your campaign goals and collaboration terms in the outreach template, and Adaptive personalizes the pitch for each creator. It's flexible enough to handle whatever outreach format your marketing team uses.
