What this launch shows

Lacy posted this from an account with 631K followers and reached 2.4 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 2.4 times their following, so this is in the normal range.

It ranks 297 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2.2 times the median of 688K views.

Likes led, 5K at 31.1 per 10,000 views against a median of 26.8, with the heavier signals closer to usual: 277 bookmarks, 132 replies, 19 quotes. A like is a reaction.

The post was enjoyed more than it was kept. One bookmark for every 16.8 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.

The post opens with “My first product ever, introducing Tapcaps”. It carries a 1:22 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 7 words, shorter than 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 Sunday. Launches posted on a Sunday have a median of 526K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

X analytics explained covers this: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
