I am going to show you in this post how to profit by contributing to Open Source projects and earn Steem Power.
The post I am writing right now is a contribution for an Open Source project that you know quite well... Steemit. Steemit is Open Source, that means its codebase is public, accessible by everyone, editable by everyone. As a proof here is the code behind Steemit: https://github.com/steemit/condenser.
I am writing this contribution using Utopian.io. Utopian.io is the only platform rewarding Open Source contributions with Steem Power. The contribution I am writing right now is falling under the "Visibility" Category in Utopian.io, since I am trying to push the Steemit Open Source project by bringing more contributors to it.
Utopian.io will reward me for creating this contribution with the votes of the community members plus the vote of the Utopian Bot that is powered by 530K Steem Power.
You can also profit from contributing to Steemit using Utopian and I am going to show you how. Keep reading.
Contributions under the Visibility category in Utopian must provide proof of the visibility effort, this is why I am giving you all these details.
The more details I give, the better is my contribution, the most chances I have to get voted by the Utopian Bot that is powered by 530K Steem Power. Read about the Utopian Bot.

Analyses realised for an Open Source project have to written directly on the Utopian post or there must be links, charts, etc. to very what has been done. The contribution must also explain in great details why the analyses have been conducted and how.
These contributions serve as a way to bring more visibility to an Open Source project. They must include links to social network posts, adv and similar, plus the results of the visibility effort.
