# Boost an existing post

Promote an eligible published post through the supported advertising workflow.

Boosting uses an existing published post as paid promotion. Availability depends on the platform, post format, connection, and account permissions.

## Choose the post

1. Open **Ads** and select **Boost post**.
2. Choose an eligible post from the list.
3. Check its platform, identity, text, and image.
4. Select the ad account that should pay.

## Set the promotion

Choose the available goal, budget type, amount, and targeting. Review the currency and any other requirements shown for the selected network.

Submit the boost only when you're ready to spend that advertising budget. Check its resulting status in **Ads**.

## If the post is missing

Confirm that the post is published and belongs to the connected account. Check account permissions and sync status. Some formats and externally created promotions may not be available through the connection.

ChatGPT has no organic post boosting in Moosen. Use [Create ad](/ads/create) for eligible ChatGPT ad accounts.

Boosting is separate from **Repost** and **Recycle**, which manage repeated organic publishing.
