Saves led. 3K people bookmarked it, 36.4 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: 30 replies, 12 quotes, 93 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.4 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The first line is “Today, we’re introducing Claude for influencer marketing”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 21-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory.
The copy runs 41 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 Monday. Launches posted on a Monday have a median of 618K 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 X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
