Write for HogaToga

Contribute to HogaToga

HogaToga occasionally publishes guest contributions from writers with genuine expertise in technology. We are not a guest-post marketplace, and we do not publish content in exchange for links. What we do publish is work that genuinely helps our readers — accurate, specific, original, and written by a real person with something real to say.

If that sounds like you, read on.

Beats We Cover

HogaToga runs across eight verticals. Pitches that fit one of these areas have the best chance of moving forward:

Smartphones and Android — reviews, comparisons, OS deep-dives, app recommendations
Mobile Gaming — BGMI, Free Fire, COD Mobile, game reviews, tips and tier lists
Gadgets, Laptops, and Wearables — hands-on reviews, buyer guides, smart home setup
AI and Emerging Tech — practical AI tools, blockchain explainers, Web3, AR/VR
How-To and Productivity — step-by-step guides, software walkthroughs, efficiency tips
Apps — iOS and Android app reviews, app comparisons, what is new and worth downloading
Software — desktop software, SaaS tools, developer tools for non-developer audiences
Tech News and Analysis — informed takes on industry news, not just rewrites of press releases

What Makes a Good HogaToga Pitch

The best pitches are narrow and specific. “A guide to smartphones” is not a pitch. “How to check if an Android phone’s battery has been replaced before you buy it secondhand” is. Tell us what the piece is about, who it is for, and why you are the right person to write it.

We value:

Specificity. A focused piece that fully answers one question beats a broad overview of a topic.
Accuracy. Claims must be verifiable. If your draft cites statistics or makes technical claims, you need the sources.
Genuine usefulness. Would a real person reading this come away knowing how to do something, choose something, or understand something better? If yes, we are interested.
Originality. We do not publish rewrites of other articles, summaries of Wikipedia pages, or generic tech explainers that exist in a hundred forms already.

Our Standards

Human-Written Content

HogaToga does not publish AI-generated or AI-assisted content passed off as original writing. Every published piece carries a real byline and reflects the genuine effort and judgment of that person. We check. If a submission appears to be AI-fabricated, it will be rejected and the contributor will not be considered for future work.

The No-Scam Rule

We have a firm, no-exceptions policy against content that promotes scams or misleads readers for financial gain. This means we do not publish:

Pieces promoting “free coins,” crypto giveaways, or investment schemes
Affiliate-spam articles structured around maximising referral clicks rather than helping readers
Anything designed to impersonate legitimate companies or services

Any submission that violates this rule is rejected immediately. See our editorial policy and ethics policy for the full framework.

Real Byline Required

We publish under real names. Pen names are considered on a case-by-case basis if there is a legitimate reason, but anonymous content is not accepted.

Sourcing

Technical claims, statistics, and product specifications must be sourced. You do not need footnotes in the published piece, but the editor will ask for sources during review if anything looks unverified.

What We Do Not Accept

Paid link insertions — we do not add sponsored links to published articles or accept payment to include specific URLs
Sponsored posts disguised as editorial — if someone is paying you to get a piece placed, that is advertising, not a guest contribution
Rewritten or spun content copied from other publications
Press releases formatted as articles
Fully completed articles sent without a prior pitch — we review pitches first

Rights and Editing

HogaToga acquires first worldwide digital publication rights. After publication, the piece lives on HogaToga indefinitely. You retain the right to republish elsewhere after 90 days, with a canonical link back to the original HogaToga URL. Our editors may edit for clarity, length, house style, and accuracy. Significant changes will be shared with you before publication.

How to Pitch

Send a short pitch to editorial@hogatoga.com.co with the subject line “Contributor Pitch: [Topic]”. Your email should include: your name, a 2-3 sentence summary of the proposed piece, the target vertical, and a brief note on your relevant experience. Links to previous work are welcome. We do not need a completed draft at the pitch stage — just enough to evaluate whether the idea fits. We reply to every pitch that follows these guidelines, usually within a week.
