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 Audio articles:

• What You Need to Know About Using AirPods for Hearing Protection
• Audacity 3.7 Has Arrived: Here's What's New
• Everything You Need to Start Recording Music on Linux

Expectations:

• Write consistently and meet assigned deadlines
• You will pitch, claim, and be assigned topics
• Stay up to date on the latest Audio Tech news and updates
• Input work into our in-house system and format images according to our guidelines

What we're looking for:

• Relevant experience in writing and editing
• Expert knowledge of one or more technology platforms, product, or apps
• Expert knowledge of audio hardware and recording equipment, including headphones, earbuds, speakers, and microphones

Application Requirements:

• CV, Cover Letter, Screening Questions
  • 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)

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