Freelance Writing Content Markets
14 Tech Freelance Writing Markets
Websites and online magazines looking for new writers for tech-related topics
Finding the perfect technology-themed magazine or online journal can be difficult. I have located 14 different markets to pitch your ideas or send manuscripts for consideration. Some of the topics these websites cover include photography programs, programming languages, email services, and computer science.
OneZero
OneZero is a Medium publication — the call for submissions was from 2019, and I do not know if they are still looking or not. However, they are still currently publishing on this Medium Pub, so it is worth a pitch to see if they are still looking for freelance writers and if they still pay.
The publication is about the impact technology has on people and our future.
Payment: Unverified. A previous report was $1.00–1.25 a word.
Pxleyes
Pxleyes is looking for tutorials on using photoshop and other photography programs. You can also write tutorials on making photography better, tips and tricks, hacks, and more.
If you are experienced in photo editing software or photography in general, you should check out the categories they are looking for. This website really does cover everything on this topic. It has 30 different photography categories, including photography tutorials, traditional drawing tutorials, blender tutorials, Cinema 4D tutorials, Illustrator Tutorials, GIMP tutorials, and Photoshop tutorials.
Payment: Payment is up to $200.00 per tutorial.
Photoshop Tutorials
If you are highly skilled with photoshop and think you could write tutorials for others, you might want to pitch Photoshop Tutorials. They have an application page where you will need to include basic information, samples, and possible topics that you can write about.
Payment: On the application page, I did not find payment; however, on another page of their site, it was listed between $150.00–300.00. I have also found elsewhere that they may pay for shorter articles and tips, but they pay for those assignments is in the $25.00–50.00 range.
Plus2Net
Plus2Net is looking for articles and tutorials on different programming languages, such as HTML, PHP, SQL, ASP, and Javascript. They are looking for highly focused articles in particular areas, not general articles like how to get hired as a programmer or how to start using HTML.
