Default Seeding bald spots in grass

i have some bald spots in grass. What is the proper procedure to
re-seed them.

They appeared due to two causes, either one of another:

1. too much walking

2. Some areas are shady and somewhat arid due to a hill.

Any ideas on how I can get a good grass going. Should I rent a power
rake, any fertiliser to buy, etc?

Stop walking on it, to start with. You can seed it day after day but
if it is still being walked on it will not do any good. Of course
deflecting the walkers may just move a new bare spot elsewhere.

If you can't stop walking there, maybe you can't have grass in that
spot, that's what various types of pavers or paving is for.

Dig up the earth there and discard the top two or three inches. Replace
with good topsoil. You may have something else going on. Sometimes a
pet's urine will spoil an area for growth for quite a while, or someone
having spilled gasoline on an area can prevent it from growing anything
for a couple of geologic epochs.
