What this launch shows

Jonathan Wilke posted this from an account with 30K followers and reached 214.6 times that many people. The usual multiple for 25K to 100K followers is 20.9.

This one did 10.2 times that. It ranks 27 of 264 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 9.3 times the median of 688K views.

Quote posts led, 1K of them at 2 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: 2K. Reposts: 121. One bookmark for every 1.2 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

The post opens with “Aaaaaaand we're live”. It carries an image and no video. 92% of launches in the directory carry a video, so this is the rarer choice, and the few image launches that travelled did it on the strength of the image.

The copy runs 28 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.

Whether a launch needs a video covers this: 99% of the launches in the directory carry one, and the guide is about when the 1% is the right call. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
