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.

Here are some examples of Smart Home articles:



  • Job Responsibilities

    • Write a minimum of 8 feature articles per month, with no upper limit
    • Generate and pitch new ideas/topics for articles
    • Stay up to date on the latest tech news, products and updates

    • Cover Letter
    • 2-3 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 Smart Home technology (you must own some Smart Home devices)


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

    If you are committed to generating articles with high audience engagement, apply now!

    We look forward to collaborating with positive and inspired candidates.
