Post Body
Onboarding new users to Steem has always been a daunting task since account creation requires fees and some basic knowledge. https://steemit.com provides a free account creation feature but it takes a long time to get an account created via steemit, sometimes 4 or more weeks. @utopian-io also provides fee sign up for open source contributors with a GitHub account, but again there are some restrictions on GitHub accounts to be accepted for a free sign up. There are some other apps who enable instant paid account creation like https://anon.steem.network,https://www.steemcreate.com and https://account.steem.ninja.
