I've now seen that there's a Promote button on each post, about the Share. You can use this to donate some Steem Dollars to boost the post. Looks like people are using this already

Also, comments show Boost Payments. I assume that's a bug as you cannot promote a comment

Yesterday, when I clicked on the "Promote" button on a post it showed this explanation

"Spend your Steem Dollars to advertise this post in the promoted content section. This doesn't pay the author directly, instead the funds are "burned". When funds are burned, they become a dividend to share holders"

Today when I click the button I see the following

""Spend your Steem Dollars to advertise this post in the promoted content section."

They got rid of the part about steem dollars being "burned" and going to shareholders. So I'm not so sure that no one gets the money. Yesterday it seems that shareholders were getting the money. It would be good if this was clarified.

I expect they are still working on this. They need to be very clear about where the dollars go
