YouTube channels for sale
A channel can come with years of videos and an existing audience. Subscriber count alone does not tell you how many people still watch. Browse the listings by topic, then look at recent uploads before judging a seller's asking price.
Ask for current YouTube Studio figures, revenue history if earnings are claimed, and any copyright claims or strikes. Set out exactly which access and assets the seller will hand over before you pay into escrow.

Recent views tell a fuller story
Compare views across several recent videos instead of relying on a lifetime total or one viral hit. Audience location, traffic sources and returning viewers can matter as much as subscriber count if you plan to keep publishing.
Check monetization separately
If a listing says the channel earns ad revenue, ask to see recent earnings and its current monetization status. A linked AdSense account is a separate matter; do not assume it is included in the sale.
Agree on the handover
Find out how the seller will transfer control, what happens to the video library and brand assets, and which recovery details must change. Confirm access and the agreed deliverables before marking the deal received.
