How ChannelCrawler Achieved 85.71% Positive Replies With Salesforge, Infraforge & Warmforge

ChannelCrawler isn’t your average outreach operation. It’s a powerful discovery engine for YouTube channels - indexing over 200 million channels and giving those who sell to creators, look for social selling signals and affiliate or influencer marketers access to deep performance metrics and verified contact data. Think of it as Apollo or ZoomInfo, but purpose-built for YouTube data.

As demand for influencer partnerships exploded, ChannelCrawler set out to establish its own - but with intention. Rather than flooding inboxes, they built a cold outreach strategy centered on quality infrastructure, personalization, and sender reputation.

“We’ve been running small campaigns because I want our email infrastructure to stay strong over a long period of time. But the warm-up process, spintax, and inbox management are all winners for us.

Why ChannelCrawler Chose The Forge

From day one, ChannelCrawler knew volume wasn’t the answer - precision was. They wanted a stack that would let them reach the right creators and potential partners with high deliverability, without risking domain health.

“We’re not blasting 10,000 emails. We’re building relationships at scale - and this setup lets us do that without compromising our infrastructure.”
