Job Description

This position will operate on a remote, freelance basis.

 

HowToGeek.com is looking for t ech enthusiasts to write feature articles on a consistent basis for the site. We're looking for content with mainstream appeal for the US reader base.

Areas of intended coverage include Android, Mac, iPhone, Windows, Linux, Virtual Reality, Mobile Carriers, as well as Microsoft and Streaming Platforms . Writers will need to choose a primary area of coverage, but are able to write across any section they have expertise in!

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.

Expectations:
  • Write at least 8 feature articles per month
  • You will be assigned articles and have the ability to claim ideas, however, once you are comfortable with the content we publish on the site, we welcome you to pitch your own ideas
  • Stay up to date on the latest tech news, products and updates
  • Work within a CMS, adhere to style guidelines, as well as find and format images

What we're looking for:

  • Relevant experience in writing and editing
  • SEO knowledge and experience using SEO tools (preferred)
  • Knowledge across a variety of tech (updates to the latest versions + first-hand use of products, platforms, and apps are required)

Application Requirements:

  • CV, Cover Letter, Screening Questions
    In your Cover Letter, please address what makes you the right fit on the 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.
