About The Louisiana Hobby Guy
The Louisiana Hobby Guy is a YouTube channel run by Rich, a semi-retired software professional from a small town outside New Orleans, Louisiana. The channel publishes long-form reviews, software tutorials and weekly livestreams focused on laser engraving, CNC work, 3D printing and woodworking. Its videos are shot on camera with mid-level production and typically run from eight to twenty-five minutes.
The audience appears to be hobbyists and small-business makers in the United States. These figures are estimates, since the channel does not publish audience data, and the audience skews male and toward older adults. Viewers tend to come back for practical guidance on machines and software such as LightBurn.
Brands seeking maker-focused exposure should consider this channel. Sponsored integrations are estimated at $60 to $120 per video, which equals a CPM of about $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views. Paid ads usually run at $10 to $30 CPM, so this rate is at the higher end of that range but reflects a highly targeted audience.
