Promote a post is to request the Ecency team (with practically a 100% approval rate) to show your post as an advertisement (in your chosen duration, where a longer duration requires slightly more Points) on the Ecency frontend, rotated with all other posts that are also being promoted. 🤓On #Ecency, to
On the other hand, to Boost a post is to request the Ecency team (with roughly 30% approval rate) to vote (curate) your post or long comment. 🤓 Anyway, I don't notice that the amount of Points you use to request to Boost a post or comment affects the chance of approval; it's about how long and good your content is that makes the Ecency team determine if they will curate your content (or just refund your Points). 😏
Damn, I got even a refund of my points... Don't know why that would be? Perhaps because the post is already 9 days old? According to your other comment that it would be rejected when te curation period is over...?... Hmmm in that case I need to consider quickly when I make a post, if I want to boost it or not...
Requesting to Boost a post (or comment) whose Rewards have already paid out at the end of the 7th day guarantees a 0% approval rate. 😅
It is okay if you try to request Boosting immediately every time you make a (long) post, for the chance that one (or more) of those posts get approved for curation. 🤓 Don't worry about the Ecency Points, as they immediately get refunded whenever your Boosting request is rejected. 😏

Ah ok, so if the request is rejected when the curation period is still ongoing, we also get the points back. So there's no chance on "loosing" points here...?...
Yes, with the exception that the post or comment being requested for Boosting is categorically spam, scam, illegal, etc. 🤓 No refunds will be made in those cases. 👮♂️😅
!LUV
That's fair enough
Here's a !PIZZA to help you avoid worrying about not getting refunded the #Ecency Points! 😁
Getting back to the test about the promoting of the post... I've been looking again, and STILL I'm on 1,73 USD whcih I had already before. And indeed, the upvotes have been added but they are so small that I don't get together an extra cent... In this light we should reconsider if the promotion and spending 500 Ecency points to promote a post is worth it or not... I would say no... I need to start to find time to write articles again and boost them. One other thing. I saw somebody reblogging the promoted post though. What happens in this case if someone from his or her followers upvotes it? And for how long (again for 7 days after the reblog?)?

Let's see what happens.I like to test as well as you do, so I've been boosting the following post now https://ecency.com/hive-193552/@svanbo/actifit-svanbo-20220603t214949879z for 500 Ecency points. After that I'll promote the same post :-)
Requesting a Boost to a post or comment that is already 5 days or older gives roughly less than 10% chance of approval, because the content is relatively too old (about 25% remaining time before payout). 🤓 Moreover, requesting a Boost to content that is already past payout time will definitely be rejected, because the upvote of the #Ecency team will no longer count. 😅
!PIZZA
Oh that means I can only boost recent posts... But I can promote older ones, can't I? Starting off with a new 7 days period in this case? !LUV

You can still request older content (that haven't reach payout time yet) be Boosted by the #Ecency team, but the chance of approval gets smaller the longer you wait from posting (or commenting) time. 🤓
Thanks for the !LUV! 😀
So the best is to ask the boosting from the moment of the posting...
Yes. 😄 That's what I meant. 😏

In your experience, what brings most? (Cost/win)
In my experience, Boosting gives more HP/HBD rewards (in case the Boosting requests get approved), while Promoting gives more exposure and comments and is practically guaranteed to be approved (though less Rewards than Boosting). 🤔😏
!PIZZA
Anyway, now I've been promoting the post for 500 points, that would be for 7 days it says. The post has got now 1,73 USD. Let's hope for a good result :-)
If you want more engagement (and upvotes) from a post you want to Promote, you should try to make the post title as interesting as possible. 😏 By the way, you can request the same post to be both Boosted and Promoted. 🤓

I see already people upvoted the promoted post, but the counter is still at the same 1,73?.... It doesn't add up any more? Or it'll be added up all at the same time when the promotion period is over? !LOLZ

The only explanation for that is that the upvoters have very little Hive Power (or Voting Mana or chosen Voting Percentage), so regardless of the number of voters, the post rewards remain the same. 🤓
Thanks for the !LOLZ! 😁
OK, we'll see... I'll keep on monitoring...
You still can benefit from having a lot of tiny upvotes, which is to unlock #HiveBuzz achievements. 🤓 You can view your HiveBuzz profile at https://hivebuzz.me/@svanbo. 😏
Have a !PIZZA with some !LOLZ! 😁
That is with the x upvotes, comments, posts etc., am I correct?
I saw these rewards in my notifications. If this is what you mean, I can't do anything extra for it than what I'm doing now I guess? Just keep on posting, keep on commenting and keep on tipping tokens?... I'm not sure if you've seen it, but I'm betatesting for a guy who wants to post Strava-runs automatically on Hive. Great project, if you'd ask me! and lots of fun to be at the cradle of a new project. Not that I need to do a lot !lol (yeah yeah, soon I will be able to give 4 of these per day :-)
