Help shape the future of tech storytelling.

Welcome to TechInform — a reboot of one of the coolest, nerdiest, most community-powered tech sites on the internet. We’re here to build something weird, insightful, and fun — and you’re invited to be part of it from the start.

Whether you’re a writer, video creator, developer, tech tinkerer, or just someone with a hot take on gadgets, AI, retro computing, gaming, or anything geek-adjacent — we want your voice on the site.

✍️ Who Can Contribute?

You! Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, we’re looking for people who are:

  • Passionate about tech and internet culture
  • Obsessed with niche corners of the web
  • Excited to build something from the ground up
  • Interested in writing, making videos, or sharing original research
  • Fans of creative freedom and community vibes

💡 Where We’re At Right Now

TechInform is currently being rebuilt from the ground up. We’re in our early relaunch phase — which means:

  • We’re 100% independent
  • We’re currently operating at a loss as we invest in infrastructure, tools, and rebuilding our audience
  • We’ve chosen to remain ad-free — no clutter, no creepy tracking, no clickbait
  • Our focus is entirely on a sustainable, community-supported membership model

We don’t know exactly when monetization will begin, but we’re playing the long game — and when we get there, you’ll benefit too.

💼 What Contributors Get (Now)

Even though we aren’t offering per-post payments yet, we’re making sure contributors are set up for success from day one:

  • Your own author page with a full bio, photo, links, and post archive
  • Analytics access so you can track how your content is performing
  • Editorial support to help shape and polish your work
  • OG Contributor Status – special recognition as part of the relaunch crew
  • First in line for paid work once revenue starts rolling in
  • Access to our Contributor Community (coming soon)

💵 Earn Now: Membership Referral Commission

Even before monetization officially begins, we’re offering a way for contributors to earn real money right now through our referral program.

🔗 Here’s how it works:

  • You’ll get a unique referral link after you’re onboarded.
  • For every person who signs up for a TechInform membership through your link and stays a member for at least 60 days, you’ll earn $5.00.
  • Payouts are processed monthly via ACH (direct deposit).

It’s a simple way to support the site and start building passive income as the community grows.

📈 The Future: Contributor Compensation (Coming Soon)

As TechInform begins generating revenue from memberships, sponsorships, or partnerships, we’ll transition into a performance-based payout model for content.

Here’s what we’re planning:

✍️ Written Content

  • $3 to $10 per 1,000 views
  • Final rate will be agreed upon in a contributor agreement
  • Articles with greater depth, research, or complexity will earn more

🎥 Video Content

  • $4 to $12 per 1,000 views
  • Rate depends on type of video, platform, and production effort
  • Original series and high-effort productions may qualify for bonus rates or sponsorship splits

All future compensation will be clear, trackable, and transparent. You’ll always have access to analytics and performance reports.

🔥 What We’re Looking For

  • Hot takes on current tech
  • Product reviews with personality
  • Deep dives into weird corners of tech history
  • Tech explainers for everyday people
  • Opinion pieces on tech ethics, AI, or future trends
  • Video essays, short docs, or retro gear showcases
  • Memes? Maybe.
  • Passion? Always.

🧠 Why This Matters

We’re not building another content farm or SEO machine. We’re creating a space for people who love this stuff. If you’re tired of pop-ups, AI-written listicles, and the soul-sucking side of modern tech media — you’re in the right place.
