Steemit just announced a new promote feature!. 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.
Enter the amount you wish. The minimum amount is 1 Steem Dollar SD ($).
Authenticate yourself and click on Sign.
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.
There are less costly alternatives to promote your post.

There are two options; you can either copy the address from the post itself and paste it into the comment section like this; https://steemit.com/life/@justusagenstum/7-ways-to-prevent-america-from-becoming-a-shithole-country or you can use Markdown styling to embed the link like this. If you prefer to use Markdown styling to embed the link into text, place the text you want the link to be a part of, inside brackets [like this], then follow the bracketed text with a link placed in parentheses like this...(https://steemit.com/life/@justusagenstum/7-ways-to-prevent-america-from-becoming-a-shithole-country). If you place the link in parentheses directly behind the bracketed text (no spaces), then it will appear as a linked piece of text like this.
For better clarity use this template; [text to be linked](website address of what you want to link in the text). If you're still having difficulty with this, let me know.

If you don't like the idea of your steem getting burnt, you can always directly powerup another steemer :) Spread the love

You get SBD through posting and commenting or you can transfer for example Bitcoins into Steem Dollars on Steemit or even buy Steem Dollars on the exchange Poloniex (www.poloniex.com).

I used the "null" promote option and sent 1 SBD, but it did nothing to help my post. It is possibly because I was using the service wrong, and didn't include my URL? steemit.com/socialmedia/@clovisstar/7mha0s5j

i was looking for a method to estimate the amount needed to promote in the top 10 or top 20 and so on, your way with looking up null's wallet is pretty much what i looked for :D
