Steemit just announced a new [promote feature!]( https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitblog/introducing-promoted-content). In this post I will show you how to use it and I will also advise on less costly alternatives.

At the Bottom of your post click the Promote Button.

If you want to make it to the top spot of the promoted page you have to do additional steps first before you enter the amount of Steem Dollars for your promotion.

In the first step identify the top promoted post. Note down the author and title.

In the next step go to the wallet of @null

Then locate the transfer from the author and post that made the top spot on the promote page.
Not down the amount of Steem Dollar for this transfer. In order to make it with your post to the top spot you need to enter an amount of 78 Steem Dollar.
