MethodHow We Work
Most questions about why a guide says what it says are answered here.
Before you write
Can I join the team?
Yes, if you can write and you actually know the subject. We look for people with real depth in one area: cleaning chemistry and materials, appliance repair, DIY and small builds, or household organisation. Trade experience is worth more to us than blogging experience.
Details and how to apply are on the Join Our Team page.
Can I submit a guest post?
Yes. We want pieces from people with provable experience in home improvement, maintenance or cleaning, and we are also happy to take shorter first-hand accounts of a repair or a renovation that taught you something.
The brief, the length and the standards are on the Write For Us page. Read it first: submissions that ignore it are not reviewed.
I found an error. How do I report it?
Use the form above, email [email protected], or comment on the guide itself. Tell us the page and what is wrong.
Anything with a safety consequence is looked at the day it arrives. Corrections are published on the guide itself, dated, saying what changed. We do not fix things quietly.
Can I ask you to review a specific product?
Please do. Tell us what you are trying to decide between and why, which is more useful to us than a product name on its own.
What we cannot do is take payment for it. We buy review products at retail price and we do not accept free samples or sponsored placements, so a request is a suggestion, never a booking.
Do you accept sponsored posts, link insertions or paid guest posts?
No, none of the three, and this is not a negotiating position. We do not sell links in existing articles, we do not accept paid placements, and we do not take payment to add a brand to a guide.
Emails offering to buy links are deleted without a reply.
How often do you publish?
Roughly weekly, and that varies. We would rather hold a guide for another week than publish one that has not cleared the checklist.
A good share of our effort goes into updating guides that are already published rather than adding new ones, which does not show up as a new post but is usually the more useful work.
Do you have a physical address?
There is no public office. HomeNerdy is run remotely, and the postal address for formal correspondence is in the site footer.
For anything that is not legal correspondence, the form above is far faster.
