What this launch shows
Animesh Koratana posted this from an account with 9K followers and reached 293.3 times that many people. The usual multiple for 5K to 25K followers is 50.8.
This one did 5.8 times that. It ranks 53 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 4 times the median of 688K views.
Saves led. 5K people bookmarked it, 17.9 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.
The rest: 865 replies, 273 quotes, 734 reposts. One bookmark for every 1 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The post opens with “Introducing: PlayerZero”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 2:53 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.
The copy runs 34 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 Monday. Launches posted on a Monday have a median of 618K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
How to announce a funding round covers this: the round is the news and the post has to turn it into customers and hires. For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product.
Developer marketing strategy is the guide for it: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
