Any suggestions for channels to target? We're too cash-strapped to try a shotgun approach with Google Adwords or similar. Our exposure at Maker Faires has been one way for us to get the word out to about 200k people a year, in person. The reception has been phenomenal, and we received Editor's Choice at this year's past Bay Area Maker Faire. Kids and adults (with a roughly even gender split) love to learn about how things work, but not much attention has come back to the website.
- mw67 12y agoCheck what type of audience Khan Academy's Reverse Engineering section has (https://www.khanacademy.org/science/discoveries-projects/Reverse-Eng https://www.khanacademy.org/science/discoveries-projects/Rev...). I believe you have the same audience. But I also believe that videos are much more effective to learn how things work than photos. Maybe you should explore that road. Good luck.
- tomkinstinch 12y agoI hadn't seen Khan Academy's Reverse Engineering section. It's awesome! Thank you! And we do support video uploads. They go straight to a user's YouTube account from our site, via OAuth, and are subsequently embedded. I'm far from a videographer though, so there aren't very many on the site currently. I've mostly been using them to illustrate particular steps more clearly (ex. https://www.takeitapart.com/guide/92 https://www.takeitapart.com/guide/92 ).
