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. For over 100K followers the usual multiple is 2.4, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.
It ranks 559 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1537 of 1981.
Saves led. 387 people bookmarked it, 32.5 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7.
A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does. The rest: 56 replies, 9 quotes, 53 reposts.
It starts “Congrats to @TryLance on their $5M seed”. It carries a 2:55 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 42 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.
Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
Why posts from large accounts under-reach is the guide for it: a post seen by fewer people than follow the account was held back by the ranking model.
