Make a list of as many YouTubers above 100K subscribers as you can.

Reach out with the following script:
Subject line: content question
Body: Hi {first name},
{Personalized line about 1 of their videos}
Can I edit your next one for free?
{Your name}
Most people would end outreach there.
But here's an even easier hack to get to more YouTubers:

Asking for case studies.
Request a testimonial from the creator after the video goes up.
YouTubers are a tighter community than you realize. Social proof in this niche is some of the best there is.
From there, you need to focus on two things:

YouTubers are a tighter community than you realize. Social proof in this niche is some of the best there is.
From there, you need to focus on two things:
1. Rinsing and repeating until you have 3-5 case studies
2. Converting the free trial creators to paying customers
$2,500-$5,000/month for 2-4 videos/week is reasonable.
You have the scripts and the playbook.
You just need to put in the effort.
