YouTube channel marketplace

You build a site where channel owners list a channel for sale with anonymous stats like subscribers, views and revenue. Buyers, such as individual investors and media companies, browse and make offers. You check the analytics through screen recordings, help set up escrow through a third-party service and take a fee when a sale closes. Extras include paid verification packs and featured listings. A later step is buying small educational channels yourself and running them as a media business.

Creators who are tired or want to move on have no safe way to sell a channel with an audience. Buyers worry about faked numbers, sellers who disappear after payment and messy handovers. Both sides need someone to check the numbers and hold the money until the handover is done.

• Deal-makers who enjoy negotiation and checking details
• Creators and editors with a network of channel owners
• Founders who can handle legal paperwork and scam risk

• A 10% to 15% fee on each completed sale
• Verification packs at ₹2,000 to ₹5,000
• Featured listings at ₹500 to ₹1,000
• Later, income from channels you own

1. 1Message channel owners directly and list ten channels by hand, keeping a sheet of each one's stats and the reason for selling.
2. 2Write one clear guide on how to value and sell a channel, and post it where small creators gather.
3. 3Find one buyer and one seller, use an established escrow service for the payment, and write down every step of the handover.

Scams are the main risk, from faked analytics to sellers who keep access after payment. Check what the platform's own terms say about transferring a channel and whether income programmes carry over. Do not hold buyers' money yourself, because that has payment and legal rules. Use an established escrow service and a lawyer-drafted contract. Listings will arrive slowly.
