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.

Our
Carriers Writers have experience writing about cellphones and cellular carriers.


Please have a look at the below articles to get an idea of the kind of content we often write:

  • The Pros and Cons of Buying Phones From Your Carrier
  • How to Protect Yourself From SIM-Swapping Attacks
  • Do VPNs Hide Data Usage from ISPs or Cellular Carriers?

Check out our Carriers section on the site for more examples

Responsibilities:


  • Write a minimum of
    8 feature articles per month, with no upper limit
  • 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
  • Input work into our inhouse system and format images according to our guidelines

Application Requirements

  • CV
  • Cover Letter
  • 23 articles you've written that demonstrate your writing abilities; tech articles a plus

Applicants must be highly motivated and possess the following requirements

  • Relevant experience in writing and editing in the English language
  • Ability to break down complex topics
  • Expert knowledge of Cellphones and Cellular carriers.


We will get back to you as soon as possible if we think you'd make a solid addition to the team.
