What We’re Looking For
We are looking for experienced writers with excellent writing skills, research ability, and a geek at heart.
The ideal candidate would be someone that can cover how-to tutorials, product reviews/comparisons, and explainers across various topics, including, but not limited to, things like iPhone, Android phones, Smart Home, Wearables, Gadgets, and other consumer tech-related topics.
These are some of the types of articles that we publish:
- How-to — Either helping people get started with new technology, or fixing any problems they may have with their gadgets.
- Opinion — Do you have a strong opinion on something in our industry and the research to back it up? These can make useful talking points.
- Best of Products/Services — Anything from gift guides to review roundups of popular products.
- In-depth Guides — Longer articles really digging into a subject. A reference piece that people will return to time and time again.
What We’re Not Looking For
- Story that’s been published elsewhere (including on your blog).
- Content marketing company working on behalf of clients.
- Link building opportunities.
Sponsored Posts
We do offer sponsored post options for companies who would like to increase their visibility while sponsoring great content. You should note that this is not a way to post an advert, but rather a way for you to put your brand to some great content for our readers.
Examples might be a company with a productivity tool sponsoring a series of articles about productivity; a finance app sponsoring an article about budgeting and money management. Please contact us through our advertising page if you would like to discuss this.
