About Us

How-To Geek is an online technology publication with tens of millions of readers each month. Our readers love How-To Geek because of its unique voice. We’re not a website for geeks—we are the geeks. 

We’re the people you turn to when your computer isn’t working right, you need to do something technical, or you want to understand the latest gadgets—and which are the best ones to buy. We explain it all in simple, approachable terms. How-To Geek is for everyone.

Our target audience are everyday consumers who are interested in tech; we write for the lay-people, not industry insiders. For example, our readers are the "Should You Upgrade to a Wi-Fi 7 Router?" crowd. Not the "Wi-Fi 7 Routers Will Usher In the IoT Market Penetration Shift" crowd.

Our Smart Home writers have knowledge on Smart Home devices, apps, software, and updates. They have excellent English language writing skills as well as the ability to break down complex topics.

 

Here are some examples of Smart Home articles:

 

Responsibilities

  • Write consistently and meet assigned deadlines
  • You will pitch, claim, and be assigned topics
  • Stay up to date on the latest tech news, products, and updates
  • Input work into our in-house system and format images according to our guidelines
 

What we're looking for:

  • Relevant experience in writing and editing
  • Knowledge across a variety of tech - especially smart home tech (updates to the latest versions + first-hand use of products, platforms, and apps are required)
  • Must own several Smart Home devices to be considered
  • Knowledge of other tech (a plus)


Application Requirements

CV, Cover Letter, Screening Questions

  • In your Cover Letter, please address the following questions:
    • Why do you want to write for How-To Geek?
    • What makes you the right fit for this role? (You can touch upon previous experience and your passion for technology)


We provide our contributors an engaging community of like-minded tech enthusiasts. We also offer an  output bonus if you surpass our monthly quota!

We will get back to you as soon as possible if we think you'd make a solid addition to the team.
