What this launch shows
From an account with 259K followers, this reached 5.5 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, over 100K followers, reach a median of 2.4 times their following, so this travelled about 2.3 times further than usual for its size.
It ranks 302 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2.1 times the median of 688K views.
Quote posts led, 323 of them at 2.3 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: 654. Reposts: 247. One bookmark for every 5.9 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
The first line is “We’re cleared for takeoff”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 38-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 15 words, shorter than 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.
