What this launch shows

Lamina Labs posted this from an account with 1K followers and reached 1.2 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 161.4 times their following.

This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 624 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1972 of 1981.

The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after. Bookmarks came in at 2, reposts at 0.

The post opens with “Today, we're introducing ChatGPT for Explainer Videos”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 45-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 40 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.

Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 1K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.

X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Creative AI is on that vertical's directory page.
