The ideal candidate is familiar with a broad selection of Apple devices and operating systems, but especially iPhone and iPad. (Mac knowledge is important, too.)<\/p>\n<p>Of course, just knowing the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> isn\u2019t the only requirement here. You also have to be able to explain this stuff in a simple and effective way. We explain technology and make it easy to understand for a broad audience, whether that\u2019s showing people how to do something on their iPhone, explaining what accessories are best for an iPad, or showing off the latest features in the new macOS.<\/p>\n<p>We are\u00a0<strong>not<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>looking for a writer just to cover Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>. You may occasionally write something timely and newsy, but that\u2019s not the bulk of what we\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>This is a freelance position where you\u2019ll be assigned topics to write about, but we also encourage you to pitch your own topics that we haven\u2019t covered yet.<\/p>\n<p>Our standard pay rate is <strong>$100<\/strong> per article. Please see below for some examples of the type of articles you would be writing.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what we always look for in new writers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You must be a geek at heart, always looking to learn more about technology and make your gadgets work better.<\/li>\n<li>You must be able to explain complex topics in a way that is clear and easy to understand, even to non-experts.<\/li>\n<li>You must be creative and have the ability to generate article ideas, take suggestions, and make topics interesting and exciting.<\/li>\n<li>You must be at least 18 years old and have your own computer.<\/li>\n<li>You must have solid English writing skills. It\u2019s a shame we even have to mention that one.<\/li>\n<li>You should have some basic screenshot and image editing chops. HTML skills are a plus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To give you an idea of what we expect, here are a few examples of what we\u2019re looking for:<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Apply\"><\/span>How to Apply<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Send an email to\u00a0<strong>jobs@howtogeek.com<\/strong>\u00a0with the subject\u00a0<strong>Apple Writer<\/strong>,\u00a0and include the following in your email:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Explain why your geek skills are worth touting to millions of readers each month.<\/li>\n<li>Your name and location.<\/li>\n<li>Any previous experience you have with writing and\/or blogging, particularly related to Apple.<\/li>\n<li>Whether or not you are currently employed, and what you do if you are.<\/li>\n<li>A brief overview of any other topics you are familiar with, and what operating systems, computers, and devices you have access to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Most Importantly:<\/strong>\u00a0We want a writing sample.
