Introduction
If you’ve ever made a good post on Ecency but felt like nobody saw it, you’re not alone. Ecency gives us powerful tools called Boost and Promote — but many new users waste points or use them at the wrong time. In this guide, I’ll share 5 secrets I’ve learned about using Boost/Promote wisely so you get more eyes, more engagement, and more rewards on your posts.
- Boost at the Right Time
The first 2–6 hours after publishing are the most important.
If you boost too late, your post may already be buried in feeds.
Best trick: Publish → wait 30 mins → boost once to kickstart visibility.
- Use Promote for Long-Term Exposure
Boost = short-term visibility (shows in “Boosted” feed).
Promote = long-term spotlight (shows on main Explore / Discovery pages).
If your post is evergreen (like tutorials, guides, art), use Promote to keep it visible longer.
- Don’t Waste Points on Weak Posts
Many new users boost every single post — even short ones.
Instead, save boosts for high-quality posts: guides, creative content, or personal stories.
One strong boosted post > ten weak boosted posts.
- Combine Boost + Social Sharing
Boost gets you noticed inside Ecency, but don’t stop there.
Share your boosted link on Twitter, Telegram, Discord → more external views = more chance of votes.
Think of Boost as fuel, and social sharing as the match that lights it.
- Engage Back After Boost
After boosting, don’t just sit back.
Reply to comments quickly, upvote others, and interact — this keeps your post active in feeds.
Curators love seeing posts with active discussions, not silent ones.
Bonus Tip: Track What Works
Keep a note of:
Which posts you boosted.
When you boosted them.
How many visibility/rewards you got.
Over time, you’ll find your personal sweet spot for boosting.
Conclusion
Boost and Promote are amazing tools — but like any tool, they only work if you use them strategically. Instead of wasting points, focus on quality posts, boost them at the right time, and mix in external sharing + engagement.
