Feeld boosts put your profile at the top of potential matches' feeds—but they're limited. Use them at the wrong time, and you've wasted a valuable resource.

Here's the data-backed strategy for maximizing your boosts.

How Feeld Boosts Work

What a Boost Does

When you activate a boost:

Your profile gets priority placement
You appear near the top of others' discovery feeds
Increased visibility for a limited time
More potential matches see your profile

Boost Duration

Feeld boosts typically last:

30 minutes of increased visibility
The boost window is when timing matters most
After it expires, you return to normal visibility

What You Get With Majestic

Majestic membership includes:

Limited boosts per month
Other visibility features
See who likes you

Since boosts are limited, strategy matters.

The Best Times to Boost

Sunday Evening: The Sweet Spot

Why Sunday evening works:

People planning their week
Winding down, phone in hand
Thinking about upcoming dates
High app engagement
Less competition from weekend activities

Optimal window: 7-10 PM local time on Sundays

Weekday Evenings

Tuesday through Thursday, 8-10 PM:

People home from work
Active on apps during "couch time"
Planning weekend dates
Less competition than weekends

Why mid-week:

Monday people are recovering from weekend
Friday people are going out
Mid-week is prime swiping time

Late Night (With Caveats)

10 PM - 12 AM can work:

Night owls are active
Less competition from other boosters
People in bed, scrolling
More relaxed, open mindset

Caveat: This timing may select for people awake late—consider if that's your target.

Avoid: Daytime on Workdays

9 AM - 5 PM Monday-Friday:

People at work
Less phone time
Not in dating mindset
Lower app engagement

Your boost is wasted on people who aren't looking.

Timing Based on Your Goals

Looking for Dates This Weekend

Boost Thursday or Friday evening:

People actively planning
Fresh matches have time to convert to dates
Weekend energy is building
Matches are thinking about plans

Looking for Ongoing Connection

Boost Sunday or mid-week:

More thoughtful swiping
People aren't in "weekend plans" mode
Better for meaningful connections
Matches more likely to invest in conversation

Traveling Soon

Boost 2-3 days before arrival:

Set your location to destination
Give time for matches and conversation
Arrive with conversations in progress
Higher likelihood of meeting during trip

Timing Based on Your Market

Urban Areas (High Volume)

More competition means:

Prime times are more competitive
Consider off-peak boosts (slightly earlier evening)
Quantity is less of an issue
Focus on quality timing for your target demographic

Suburban/Rural Areas (Lower Volume)

Fewer users means:

Timing matters less (smaller pool)
Spread boosts across different times
Test what works in your specific area
Consider nearby city timing if close enough

Age Demographics

Younger users (20s-early 30s):

More active later at night
Weekend nights can work well
Higher late-night engagement

Older users (35+):

Earlier evening often better
Sunday evenings particularly strong
Less late-night activity

Seasonal Timing

January: New Year Energy

Post-holiday boost season:

People making dating resolutions
Fresh starts mentality
Higher app activity overall
Good time to use boosts

Summer: Variable

Summer considerations:

People traveling (vacation mode)
Weekends may be outdoors
Evening indoor time higher
Location flexibility if you travel

Fall: Dating Season

September-November:

"Cuffing season" begins
People looking to couple up
Increased app activity
Prime boosting time

December: Mixed

Holiday period:

Early December: active
Mid-December: slows down
Post-Christmas: picks up
New Year's Eve: surprisingly active

Before You Boost: Preparation Checklist

Profile Ready?

Don't waste a boost on a subpar profile:

✓ Recent, high-quality photos
✓ Complete, engaging bio
✓ Desires accurately set
✓ All sections filled out

If your profile isn't optimized, fix that first.

Photos Updated?

Boost with your best:

Lead with your strongest photo
Remove any weak photos
Ensure variety (not all selfies)
Photos that invite conversation

Ready to Respond?

Be available during and after boost:

Have app notifications on
Be ready to message matches
Respond within hours, not days
Capitalize on fresh matches

Messaging Ready?

Have openers prepared:

Ideas for conversation starters
Questions to ask
Willingness to put in effort
Time to have actual conversations

What to Do During Your Boost

Active Swiping

While boosted:

Be on the app swiping
Mutual interest is more likely
You'll see people seeing you
Can match in real-time

Don't Just Wait

Passive boosting is less effective:

Active users get prioritized
Swiping signals interest
You can match immediately
Waiting wastes the window

Watch Your Match Feed

Notice:

How many likes you're getting
Quality of profiles matching
If your boost is working
Data for future timing decisions

After Your Boost

Immediate Follow-Up

Within 24 hours:

Message new matches promptly
Fresh matches are hot leads
Don't let them go cold
Quality messages, not just "hey"

Analyze Results

Track:

How many matches did you get?
What time did you boost?
How did it compare to previous boosts?
Any patterns in who matched?

Learn and Iterate

For next time:

Did the timing work?
Would earlier/later be better?
What day seemed best?
Adjust strategy accordingly

Boost Strategies

The Sunday Prime Time Strategy

Weekly ritual:

Save boost for Sunday evening
Profile optimized by Sunday afternoon
Boost at 7-8 PM
Active swiping during boost
Message matches immediately after

The Multi-Evening Strategy

If you have multiple boosts:

Spread across different days
Sunday + Wednesday, or
Thursday + Sunday
Compare results
Double down on what works

The Event-Based Strategy

Boost around events:

Local kink events or parties
ENM/poly meetups
When relevant people are on the app
Community activity increases visibility

Common Boost Mistakes

Boosting Without a Good Profile

The problem: More people seeing a bad profile = more rejections, not more matches. The fix: Optimize profile BEFORE boosting.

Boosting and Going Inactive

The problem: Getting matches but not messaging them wastes the boost investment. The fix: Be ready to engage when you boost.

Boosting at Random Times

The problem: Boosting at 2 PM on Tuesday reaches few active users. The fix: Strategic timing based on app usage patterns.

Boosting Too Often

The problem: Using boosts when regular activity would suffice depletes your limited supply. The fix: Save boosts for when you need them (new area, after profile update, dry spell).

FAQ

Can I see when my boost is active? Yes, Feeld typically shows a timer or indicator during your active boost period.

What if I boost and get no matches? Check your profile quality first. Also consider: your area may have low user volume, or you may need to adjust your desires/preferences.

Should I boost in a new city before arriving? Yes, but give yourself 2-3 days lead time for conversations to develop before you arrive.

Is Majestic worth it just for boosts? Depends on your market. In high-volume areas, boosts can be very effective. In low-volume areas, other features might be more valuable.
