How-To Geek - Apple Products Freelance Writer

This position will operate on a remote, freelance basis.

HowToGeek.com is looking for Apple Product Specialists to write feature articles for the website. That said, you can write across any section of the site in which you have first-hand expertise!

About Us

How-To Geek is an online technology publication with tens of millions of readers each month. Our readers love How-To Geek because of its unique voice. We’re not a website for geeks—we are the geeks. 

We’re the people you turn to when your computer isn’t working right, you need to do something technical, or you want to understand the latest gadgets—and which are the best ones to buy. We explain it all in simple, approachable terms. How-To Geek is for everyone.

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 Apple Product Specialist writers have knowledge in iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS devices, apps, software, and updates. They have excellent English language writing skills as well as the ability to break down complex topics.

Please have a look at some topics we've written:

• Standby Will Turn Your iPhone Into a Smart Display
• Your iPhone Will Let You Swap Numbers With AirDrop
• Contact Posters Are Coming to Your iPhone
• Your iPhone Is Getting a Journal App From Apple

Expectations:

• Write 8 features 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 in-house system and format images according to our guidelines

What we're looking for:

• Relevant experience in writing and editing
• Expert knowledge on all things iOS including a variety of Apple products (such as Apple Watch, AppleTV, HomePod, Mac…etc)
• Knowledge of other tech (a plus)

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.
