Still Searching for Creators One by One? 10 Smarter Ways with Janney
01.Search in one sentence
Skip the filter menus. Type what you need into Janney's search box, like "fitness coaches in Texas with 10K–100K followers", then tweak the wording if the results aren't quite right.
02.Look at views, not just followers
Follower count tells you how big an account is, not how many people will see your product. Check a creator's average views and their recent posts before you add them to your list.
03.Make sure the audience is in your market
Check what language their audience speaks, and on TikTok, which countries their followers are in. Compare that with the markets you sell to.
04.See which brands they've worked with
Past sponsored posts show how a creator presents a product. Look at their brand collaborations in Janney and open the posts to see if the style fits yours.
05.Estimate the price before they quote
Walk into the first conversation with a number in mind. Use Janney's estimated value per post as a starting point, then ask the creator for a quote based on your actual deliverables.
06.Found a great creator? Find more like them
One good match is a head start, not the finish line. Click Similar on their profile to see lookalike creators, then check each one against the same brief.
07.Get emails in one click
Stop digging through bios for contact details. Select the creators you like and click "Add to list and extract email" to save them and pull their available emails in the same step.
08.Keep one list for the whole campaign
Keep your campaign progress in one place. In Your List, mark each creator as new, contacted or replied, and use tags to group them by campaign.
09.Search Instagram, TikTok and YouTube in one place
Switch platforms without starting over. Your search sentence stays in place when you switch between Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and results use the same table columns.
10.Go from search to an outreach-ready list
Put the steps together: search, check views and audience fit, review the estimated price, find lookalikes, and save the creators you want with their available emails. Use Your List to organize who you will contact next.
Frequently asked questions
How do I search for creators with one sentence?
Type the niche, location and follower range you need into Janney’s search box, for example “skincare creators in Los Angeles with 20K–100K followers”. Janney adds location and follower-range filter chips from your brief, and you can refine the wording anytime.
Which platforms does Janney cover?
Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. You can switch between them from the same search box.
Can I see where a creator's audience is?
Janney shows audience languages across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus follower countries on TikTok. For Instagram or YouTube audience locations, ask the creator for current insights before committing a budget.
Is the price estimate the creator's actual rate?
No. It's a budgeting reference. Their actual rate depends on your deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity and timing, so confirm the quote with the creator.
Will "Add to list and extract email" find an email for everyone?
Not always. Some creators don't have a contact email available. Each email found uses credits, so check a small batch first before running a big list.
