Promoted posts are those paid by users wishing to get more visibility. This possibility was launch months after Steemit made its first payouts in July 4th 2016, only in September steemians had the option to promote their posts paying with STEEM Tokens, inaugurating a circular economy where you can earn and spend in the same place.

The "promoted" tab on Steemit lists posts depending on how many Steem Dollars (Steem Dollar (SBD)) have been paid to promote it. While there is a promoted list for the entire site, there are also lists for specific tags, for example Photography.

The posts with the most paid to promote it show up at the top, 2nd most is 2nd and so on.

To promote a post users could click the "Promote" button located at the bottom of the post. You can also transfer SBD to @null account from your Steem wallet (see Steem_Wallets) and paste the link to the memo field.

To figure out the cost to get into top positions either across all of Steemit or on the specific tag you want to focus on, simply go to an already promoted post and click the little down arrow next to the payout amount. You'll see a line that says "Promotion Cost." These are the amounts you have to surpass to get higher on the list than them.
