Searching Channels and Niches

Intel's powerful search capabilities help you find exactly the right YouTube channels for your research. Whether you're looking for new creators in your niche, competitors to analyze, or inspiration for your content strategy, these search techniques will help you find what you need.

Basic Channel Search

To find channels in Intel:

1. Click the "Intel" tab in the main navigation
2. Use the search bar at the top of the page
3. Enter keywords related to your target niche (e.g., "fitness", "cooking", "true crime")
