Click-Through Rate — Top Performing Video

This figure is the thumbnail click-through rate for one top-performing video. It describes how often that video’s thumbnail was clicked when shown; it does not measure product-link clicks, purchases or sponsorship results.

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.

My Audience

Location
Primarily UK and US — high value markets for tech and maker brands
Interests
CAD software, PCB design, 3D printing, CNC, Arduino, electronics, DIY builds
Intent
Search-driven viewers looking for practical answers to specific maker problems
Trust Level
Engaged with practical, problem-solving content. Product-link clicks and purchases are not established by thumbnail CTR.
Profile
Makers, hobbyists, engineers and small workshop owners aged 25–55
