Writers found more high-quality engagements on their articles, not just on medium, but also on their own wordpress blogs. Besides the obvious benefits, many of our trial users also earn DDINs (which allow them to create more tasks in the system for others to work on). With our continuous expansion on platform integrations and task types, it is not hard to imagine a totally new type of “work” is being invented at DDI.

To experience its effect on your own website or medium article, you can sign up at this *special* link to receive 10 DDINs, which you can create your first task right away. After 2 days, you can still sign up using the same link, but you will get a standard 5-DDIN user account.
