I built a Chrome extension to find YouTube creator emails (because $300/mo tools felt absurd)
Hey IH 👋
I'm Kunal — solo, bootstrapped, and I run a small tech YouTube channel (~30k subs).
I was trying to cold-email YouTube creators to promote another product of mine, and just getting their emails was miserable: open a channel, click About, solve a captcha, copy, repeat. Every tool that could speed it up wanted $200–500/mo and metered me to 150–400 "unlocks" a month — for a job that's really just reading the email a creator already published.
So I built TubeMailer: a Chrome extension that pulls public business emails from YouTube channels at volume and exports them to CSV/Excel/JSON. Runs in your own browser (no API keys); starts for free.
Launched on the Chrome Store a few days ago — still very early. Would genuinely love feedback from anyone who's done creator or influencer outreach.
I like that you started with a workflow that already exists instead of inventing a new one.
The bigger opportunity isn't saving people from copy-pasting emails. It's removing enough friction that creator outreach becomes something people do consistently instead of occasionally.
Yeah, great point!
