Contributor Guidelines
Digitech Bytes welcomes experienced writers, editors, and subject-matter experts who are passionate about consumer technology and committed to delivering helpful, trustworthy, and actionable content. If you’re excited about demystifying tech for everyday users—and you’re allergic to fluff—read on.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for contributors who:
- Understand consumer tech deeply (and aren’t afraid to test, tinker, or troubleshoot)
- Write with clarity, accuracy, and purpose—no filler, no keyword stuffing, no clickbait
- Respect the reader’s time by delivering real value from paragraph one
- Can explain both the “how” and the “why” behind tech behavior
- Are comfortable citing standards, vendor docs, and primary sources
If you’ve built your own NAS, configured your own mesh network, or debugged smart home conflicts at 2am—you’re our kind of contributor.
What We Publish
✅ Informational Articles
- How-to guides, walkthroughs, setup tutorials
- Tech explainers and definitions (e.g., “What is Wi-Fi 7 and how does it work?”)
- Troubleshooting tips (e.g., “Fire TV buffering? 9 real fixes”)
- Digital lifestyle guides (e.g., automation, productivity, privacy tools)
✅ Product Roundups (by internal assignment only)
- “Best-of” lists based on product categories available on Amazon USA
- Must be well-researched, honest, and formatted using our in-house template
- We do not publish single-product reviews, sponsored placements, or fluff
❌ We Do NOT Accept:
- AI‑generated content without human oversight
- Guest posts with backlinks
- Thin affiliate content disguised as advice
- Sponsored posts, press releases, or brand-pitched reviews
