How-To Geek is one of the largest technology publications on the web. We aim to equip readers—whether they’re newcomers to tech or seasoned veterans—with the tools they need to make the most of their technology. We simplify complex topics into guides that anyone can understand, whether they’re looking for a list of great apps, need help fixing an issue, or want a product recommendation. Our target audience is everyday consumers who are interested in tech; we write for the layperson, not industry insiders.

Responsibilities

• Write consistently and meet assigned deadlines.


• Receive assigned articles and have the ability to claim ideas; once comfortable with our content, you may pitch your own ideas.


• Stay up to date on the latest entertainment and streaming news.


• Work within a CMS, adhere to style guidelines, and find and format images.

What we\'re looking for

• Relevant experience in writing and editing.


• Expert knowledge of entertainment apps and devices with specific expertise in music and TV streaming services (including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc.).


• Extensive experience using several streaming platforms.

Application Requirements

• Cover Letter
  
  
  
  • In your cover letter, please address the following questions:
  
  
  • Why do you want to write for How-to Geek?
