What this launch shows

Alfred Wahlforss posted this from an account with 12K followers and reached 129.4 times that many people. The usual multiple for 5K to 25K followers is 50.8.

This one did 2.5 times that. It ranks 122 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2.3 times the median of 688K views.

Every response ran below the directory's usual rate: 1K bookmarks, 187 replies, 72 quotes and 85 reposts against 1K likes. The post was seen more than it was acted on, which is common for a launch that reaches past the people who care about the category.

The post opens with “Today, Listen crossed $100M in funding”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 58-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.

The copy runs 38 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people.

It went out on a Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Virality without conversion covers this: reach that outruns response is the pattern this guide is about. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
