Definitely worth doing. And if you have boosted stories, put them at the top for a while afterwards. People clicking on your profile are most likely to read that first or second pinned story, and you will get extra earnings especially if they have never read you before, and then follow you directly from that same story.

Full engagement and follow from a new reader on a boosted story can clock up between 5 and 10 bucks for a single read, crazily enough.
