If you've come across a creator who you support and want to increase the viewership and interaction on their post - Boosting is for you! When you're a fan of the content you're seeing, you can help out a creator by helping that post appear higher up in the algorithm for people who want to see that video (based off of their algorithm settings). 

 

What is Boosting?

Boosting gives a post extra visibility for a set amount of time. It tells the algorithm, “Hey, this post deserves a little more time in algorithmic orbit.”

During a boost, the post stays active in its organic feeds and won’t fade into obscurity prematurely. Think of it like pinning your favorite creator’s video to the top of the attention pile, but without being pushy about it.

 

Boost Duration and Cost

You choose how long you want a post to stay in the algorithm’s “hot zone” by selecting one of three tiers. Each tier has a set price that increases with the duration of the Boost. Amounts are in USD.

Quick Launch - 6 Hours, $1.99 

Quick Launch is our basic Booster tier. It includes 6 hours of extra visibility on a post, enough to get extra interaction and love on your favorite creator's great content.

Lunar Orbit - 12 Hours, $3.49 

Lunar Orbit is our middle Booster tier. It includes 12 hours of extra visibility on a post, allowing many people to see the post throughout the day (and even night!).

Deep Space -18 Hours, $4.99

Deep Space is the highest Booster tier. It includes 18 hours of extra visibility on a post so that it can be seen by a very wide range of users on Neptune. Almost a whole day of Boost!

 

What Boosting Doesn’t Do

We want to keep it real with you, Boosting is not a "magic fame machine" - if your boosted content offers a value to the intended audience, it's more likely it will be interacted with. Other social media apps may offer visibility which include guaranteed likes, there is plenty of uncertainty of the source of those likes. We want to assure you that Neptune's users (who are human, no bots here!) are interacting when they vibe with the content they see. We can't force humans to like content, we've tried!

 If your content is reaching your niche and the fans love what they see and hear, you'll get likes and comments.

So just to recap: 

• Boosting does not guarantee likes, comments, or virality
• It will not force a boosted post onto people who are not the intended audience
• It’s not a shortcut to fame for the creator you boost, but rather a tool to give a video you love a longer window to be discovered.
• We don’t play fake numbers here, so the content still has to resonate. A boost will just help to make sure it doesn’t get buried before it has a chance.

 

Why Should I Boost?

Just to name a few reasons a user might boost a post:

• You want to support a creator.
• You believe in the content or the topic.
• You want to support Neptune by paying for a Boost.

 

How Do I Boost a Post?

It’s super simple:

1. View a creator’s video, either in-feed or directly from their profile

2. Tap the “Boost” button beneath the post

3. Choose a duration: 6, 12, or 18 hours

4. Confirm the purchase via Apple Checkout.

5. Watch the post continue to shine in the algorithm!

TL;DR:

Boosting helps you support your favorite creators by ensuring their post stays in the spotlight longer. You pick the duration, pay once, and keep full control. No hype. Just honest visibility.

Let the work shine! We’ll provide the flashlight.
