How do I promote my profile, listing, or product?

You promote yourself on Automate America with a Boost or a Paid Ad. A Boost increases the visibility of something you already have — your profile, a contract, a job, a product, or a service — by surfacing it more often and more prominently in the feed; a Boost is priced by the week, and the price for the length you pick is shown before you pay. A Paid Ad lets you run promotional content in the feed; ads are priced by the week, are self-serve to create, and are reviewed and approved by an admin before they run. Every ad carries a clear "Sponsored" or "Promoted" badge so it is always transparent to viewers that the content is paid. Boosting is the simplest way to stand out: a professional can boost their profile to get found faster, a company can boost a contract or job to attract more applicants, and a seller can boost a product or service to reach more buyers. To get started, create or open the thing you want to promote and choose the boost option, or build an ad and submit it for approval. Promotion is optional — the platform works fully without it — but it is the lever to pull when you want more eyes on a specific listing quickly.
