Freelance Smart Home Writer

Digital Trends is seeking several freelance writers with a passion for consumer tech and gadgetry. This can be either a part- or full-time gig, however, we'd like it to become a consistent, long-term working relationship if we're satisfied with your work. Right now, we're looking for a competent writer who's willing to contribute to our Smart Home section. Each week, you'll write or update articles relating to breaking news, features, Op-Eds, and the occasional review. If chosen, you will write a range of article types. The ability to research, source, and find the best advice or products for every situation is a must, as is the ability to vet existing copy when revising an existing piece. The ideal candidate already has experience writing and fact checking online, consistent time each day to write at least one or two guides (several hours), and the desire to dive right into creating publishable content with minimal training. The ability to turn around airtight copy quickly and reliably while using excellent editorial judgment is crucial, as is a background covering the burgeoning smart home industry. The right candidate is familiar with key players in the space (Amazon, Philips, etc.), as well as third-party offerings and various virtual assistants. As part of your job, you will also find and secure relevant images, video, and other media to draw readers into your posts and retain them. Your sources will include media from manufacturers, official press releases, stock photography, and more.
