Complete updated guide to get started on utopian.io

A complete tutorial for getting started,understanding and contributing in minutes or less.

I’m creating a series of Creative-Commons-licensed long-form posts that use clear, simple language to help new people understand how to make the most of utopian-io, so they’ll sign up, participate, be able to speak to others intelligently about it and, ultimately, stick around. Please share your feedback.

Be rewarded by a platform that value originality, passion and ideas.

When you post on social media, such as facebook, instagram, and twitter, you are not rewarded or paid. But when you join social media like Steemit, reddith, etc, your paid but most time your content receives less rewards than it should because the site does not take time to go through each post or due to the amount of content posted per time, your vote maybe hidden. But that is about to change because with utopian.io it is different.

Utopian.io is a open source platform, a site that is connected with Steemit blockchain and recently have been linked with reddith. But unlike Steemit it has content category and rules governing each category. Each contribution is strictly scrutinize by a set of moderator to make sure it devoid of plagiarism and that the contribution is rewarded according as it should be for it originality, ideas and passion.

Also, the moderators make sure that each contribution follow the rules of each categories before allowing it to be shown on the utopian.io feed.

Utopian.io is not a platform where you post invaluable content and expect to be rewarded for it. It is not a fly-by-night ponzi scheme. It is build on quality content.

There are opportunities for developers, graphic designers, copywriters, analyst and a lot more.

Do you want to work with intelligent people, who are building something meaningful for the future? Then utopian.io is for you.
