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.

 

Please have a look at the type of topics we've written:

 

Expectations:

  • Write consistently and meet assigned deadlines
  • 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 Windows news, 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 in the English language
  • Expert knowledge of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and other tools
  • Knowledge of other tech (a plus)
 

Application Requirements

  • CV
  • Cover Letter
    • 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)
  • Screening Questions
  • Links to previously published work
 

We provide our contributors with 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.
