What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 1.6M followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. Accounts of that size usually reach 2.4 times their following.

This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 472 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1059 of 1981.

Quote posts led, 536 of them at 8.8 per 10,000 views against a median of 1.3.

People were adding their own take, which is how a launch gets argued about and carried into audiences the account does not have. Bookmarks: 1K. Reposts: 576.

The post opens with “Introducing the Creator Grant Program”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 7-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory.

The copy runs 27 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.

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.

Giving people something to reply to covers this: the conversation is what carried this one. For the next one, read why posts from large accounts under-reach: a post seen by fewer people than follow the account was held back by the ranking model.
