About Us

How-to Geek is one of the largest technology publications on the web today. We aim to equip all 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. Every article leaves the reader with something valuable to take away.

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 below at some topics we've written:

• The 10 Best Apple TV+ Shows You're Missing Out On
• The 5 Most Popular Netflix Original TV Shows
• What is YouTube Music's Supermix, and How Do You Use It?

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 entertainment and streaming news.
• 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
• Expert knowledge of a few 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:

• 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!
