Turn On YouTube Channel Insights and Get Discovered by More Brands Through Fabulate

For creators, visibility is everything.

You can produce incredible content, build a loyal audience, and consistently grow your channel, but if brands don't have enough information to evaluate your suitability, you could be missing out on partnership opportunities.

That's why YouTube's Channel Insights feature matters.

And now, thanks to Fabulate's integration with the YouTube Creator API, brands using Fabulate will soon be able to access Channel Insights data from creators who choose to opt in, making it easier than ever to connect the right creators with the right opportunities.

What Is YouTube Channel Insights?

Channel Insights is a YouTube feature that allows creators to share additional channel information with advertisers, brands, and approved third-party platforms. This includes channel statistics, audience breakdowns, and shopping performance insights that help brands make more informed partnership decisions.

Think of it as giving brands a clearer picture of who you are, who your audience is, and why your channel is a good fit for their campaign.

Importantly, sharing this information is completely optional and can be switched off at any time.

Why Should Creators Turn It On?

The creator economy is becoming increasingly competitive. Brands have more creators to choose from than ever before, and many are looking beyond subscriber counts and view numbers when making partnership decisions.

By enabling Channel Insights, you're providing brands with additional information that can help you stand out from the crowd.

According to YouTube, creators who share Channel Insights see significant benefits when it comes to discovery and brand opportunities.

Get Discovered More Often

Creators who enabled Channel Insights were surfaced more than 60% more frequently in creator search results used by brands and advertisers.

The reason is simple. Brands are naturally more confident engaging creators when they have access to transparent and detailed performance data.

Generate More Interest

YouTube reports that creators who shared Channel Insights achieved approximately twice the profile interaction rate compared to creators who did not.

More profile views and interactions can lead to more conversations, briefs, and partnership discussions.

Receive More Brand Enquiries

Creators who enabled Channel Insights received more than twice as many brand enquiries through creator discovery tools compared with those who chose not to share their data.

For creators looking to grow their commercial opportunities, that's a compelling reason to make the switch.

What Does This Mean for Fabulate Creators?

Fabulate is connected directly to the YouTube Creator API, meaning brands using the platform will be able to access Channel Insights from creators who have opted in to sharing their information.

This gives brands a richer understanding of your audience, channel performance, and suitability for campaigns, helping them make faster and more confident decisions.

For creators, that means:

• Greater visibility within creator searches
• More opportunities to be shortlisted for campaigns
• Increased confidence from brands evaluating your profile
• Stronger opportunities for YouTube Shopping collaborations
• Better alignment between your audience and brand objectives

In short, enabling Channel Insights helps your profile work harder for you.
