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.

 

Here are some examples of Smart Home articles:

 

Responsibilities

  • Write a minimum of 8 feature articles per month , with no upper limit
  • 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
 

Applicants must be highly motivated and possess the following requirements

  • Relevant experience in writing and editing
  • SEO knowledge and experience using SEO tools (preferred)
  • 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


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