FYI I think there is some kind of time decay involved too, my 7.77 got me to top place for about 24-48 hours, but after that it was no longer enough and I dropped back.
I think after this time you could have got to top place with less than my bid, how much is the question. The mechanics are a little opaque - I well may have been over bidding.
Anyways
Thanks for the comment, but the whole point is, anyone promoting, would need to spend about 8Leos or more to be on the spotlight
I just applied all the principles on this post, and my post is currently top on the promotion chart

But this promotion was not even profitable relative to the LEO spent to promote the post. Am I missing something?

I just promoted it few minutes ago, the whole concept is to stay on top of the promotion chart, and at the moment, I'm on top. I just hope it yields profits

Apologies I was meaning @tradewatchblog recent promotion spent that you blogged about. I sure hope you come out ahead with a profit though.
I too hope I acquire it back, thanks alot. But the goal is to educate and enlighten everyone on how to promote a post, and I just had to apply it to show it's real and working

My payout on that post should be about 23 LEO vs the 7 LEO spent, the post was already at 5 LEO before I promoted it, so the gain from promoting is 11 LEO at a glance but the post was curated by the Leo curators afterwards as well so that muddies things up a bit.
As such, it's not clear to me that promoting returns a financial gain, but it definitely does get more eyes on your post.
Interesting. I would assume the Leo curators would have upvoted the post even without promotion? Well at the very least it is certain you know you have more viewership. Thanks for the update.
No worries dude.
I'm not sure. Most of my posts have been curated, but this one wasn't so I tried promoting once it dropped off the latest feed.
My point is I'm not sure that is right - it's not exactly clear how the mechanism works - bid relative to other bidders is a factor, age of the post seems to be a factor too. I think you could have got to top position with a smaller bid.
