How-To Geek is looking for writers

How-To Geek is looking for writers with a strong interest in cryptocurrency, the metaverse, electric vehicles, and other future tech topics. We’re looking for explainers, editorials, how-tos, and more to help our audience understand these bleeding-edge technologies.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

How-To Geek became a trusted brand for helping people understand technology, and branched out from PC coverage to smartphones, smarthomes, and more.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

The ideal candidate has solid experience writing and a lot of knowledge about all of these tech topics. If you meet some of the requirements—for example, if you have a lot of knowledge in all these topics areas but no professional writing experience yet, or if you’re a crypto expert without EV knowledge—please apply anyway.

We are not looking for a writer to just write news articles. You may occasionally write something news-related, perhaps an editorial or explainer about a news story, but we generally want content that’s “evergreen,” not standard news articles.

• You must be a geek at heart, always looking to learn more about technology and make your gadgets work better.
• You must be able to explain complex topics in a way that is clear and easy to understand, even to non-experts.
• You must be creative and have the ability to generate article ideas, take suggestions, and make topics interesting and exciting.
• You must be at least 18 years old and have your own computer.
• You must have solid English writing skills. It’s a shame we even have to mention that one.
• You should have some basic screenshot and image editing chops. HTML skills are a plus.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN SUBMISSION

• We want an idea of your background and your previous writing experience.
• Include a writing sample. If you have previous writing to showcase, particularly relevant future tech-related pieces that you’re proud of, include a link to it in your email.
• If you have a personal blog, a forum account, or a commenter account from anywhere, feel free to include that as well.

COMPENSATION

• $100+ per article depending on experience.
