We’re always looking for people to contribute posts daily and help expand the site. We’ve added a handful of contributors in the last couple months, which you can see in our new How-tos.
This is a paid, freelancing position that requires professionalism, consistency, and reliability. We want to hear from people that are passionate about software/hardware hacking and growing Hack a Day. To apply, send the following to jobs@hackaday.com
- A short bio about yourself
- 3 example daily posts written in the style of Hack a Day
- 3 software or hardware how-tos you’d like to see. For examples of work we’ve done in the past, look here, here, here, and here.
- A couple sentences on how you would improve the site either through features or content
- Any additional reasons why you would make a good fit for Hack a Day
Do not send any attachments. Having your own blog you can show off is a definite plus.

Just out of curiosity how does hackaday make money?
ads
Hmm? I ain’t seen none of them..
The job requires professionalism? How is that possible when this site forces non-professionalism by changing all capital letters to lower case?
I like the site, but it’s anything but professional. It’s more of a hack job. :)
:o i would do it for free …….
Is this job offered as part-time also?
thanks
How much will this pay? I think that information is seriously required before anyone will consider this job.
@chris everyone gets paid per post and works on their own schedule.
@eliot: how much per post?
wow, very tactful folks. asking about salary on an public forum. try getting through the screening process first, then you can ask privately about pay.
@bancroft: it’s not salary. it’s a pay-per-post.
what if it was $1/post? would you apply? $10/post? $100/post? $1000/post?
i think it is a legitimate question and a range of price/post should be offered.

and on top of that, an email address is required to post a comment. the editors can easily contact me and reply.
chill noone will tell you price per post cuz they are lamers and that’s the way things are. I don’t think you can earn actual money here. people who participate here get used as condoms and thrown away.
“A couple sentences on how you would improve the site either through features or content”
Bring back the “Blog” as the main page, the current main page has been horrible ever since it came out and discouraged me from using this site, I always use the blog page if i ever come here, keep in mind i used to come here everyday, sometimes multiple times a day and refresh the blog waiting for new content.
Besides allowing subscription by email, add the web browser notification option.
its not 1990’s anymore website should be wider(on desktop) as we all use widescreen displays, but not by much the narrower format is nice, but IMHO its smidge too narrow.
Do not have links pointing to another website (hackaday.io, tindie etc.) in the main header menu, its misleading and drives traffic away from the original website, if you must have it then make both websites have same menu, so that a person can go back seamlessly or at least make it open _blank, in a new window
Not particularly website related but when posting any job offers specify a pay range, otherwise you get put on a list “Companies to avoid working for”, we do not live in a world where we work for companies, its companies are working for us, lets keep it that way okay?
