Click-Through Rate — Top Performing Video

The niche average is 3–5%. A 12.29% CTR means when my audience sees my content, they click. That trust transfers directly to brand recommendations.

Who I Am

I'm Steve — a maker, builder and problem solver based in the UK. IQ Workshop exists because I got fed up being told replacement parts don't exist, that something isn't serviceable, or that you need to buy a whole new unit.

I make content for people who want to build their own solutions — from CAD design and custom PCBs to 3D printing and CNC machining. My audience are makers, hobbyists and engineers who trust honest, practical content over polished promotion.

I attend and livestream major UK maker events — covering the floor for exclusive content, vendor conversations and creator interviews. I know this community, and they know me.
