Repeatable System to Find Course Sellers with Poor YouTube Presence
✅ STEP 1: Target Platforms Where They Sell Courses
You don’t need to find them on YouTube. Find them where they SELL — then trace them
back to YouTube.
Search these platforms (all have public creator pages):
Stan Store: site:[Link] "coach" or "course" – Use Google to scrape creator pages
[Link]: Browse: Business, Health, Coaching, Self-Help – All creators have social links
[Link]: Search: "course", "coach", "program" – Use Gumroad or Google:
site:[Link] coaching course
Teachable Discover: [Link] – Not great SEO, but some gems
Thinkific Marketplace: Search via Google: site:[Link] course
Podia: Search via Google: site:[Link] "course"
Ko-fi: site:[Link] "coaching" – Some offer it casually
Shopify Stores: inurl:[Link] "coaching program" (for DFY course pages)
✅ STEP 2: Use Directories Built for Creators Selling Courses
These directories already categorize info product sellers:
Whop Explore: [Link]
Stan Store Explore: [Link]
Gumroad Discover (archived but searchable via Google)
Lemon Squeezy Marketplace: [Link]
[Link]: [Link]
✅ STEP 3: Track Common Tech Stacks Used by Course Sellers
Identify sellers by scanning for tools they use. Check their YouTube bios or video
descriptions for:
Stan Store: [Link]/firstname
Whop: [Link]/u/username or [Link]/stores/
Kajabi: [Link]
Teachable: [Link]/p/course-name
Gumroad: [Link]/username or [Link]/course-name
ConvertKit: Often in landing page links
ClickFunnels: Links with "pages" or "funnels"
✅ STEP 4: Chrome Extension + Scraper Combo (Semi-Automated)
Build a tool or workflow to:
1. Search the YouTube keywords
2. Scrape each result’s channel description, bio links, and email
3. Flag course-selling platform links
4. Save channel name + link + email into Google Sheet
Tools to use:
- Apify
- YouTube Data API + Google Sheets API
- ScrapingBee / Puppeteer
- Zapier/Make + Custom Scripts
🔁 Summary: The Flywheel System
Input → Tool/Strategy
Course-sellers on marketplaces: Search on Whop, Stan, Gumroad
Reverse-search their YouTube: Lookup creator name/channel
Filter for bad YouTubers: <5k subs, poor views, poor thumbnails
Validate course pitch: Look for CTA links
Outreach-ready leads: Now you have YouTube + Email + Pain Point (bad content)
