What this launch shows

Link posted this from an account with 290K followers and reached 12 times that many people. The usual multiple for over 100K followers is 2.4.

This one did 4.9 times that. It ranks 159 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 5.1 times the median of 688K views.

Saves led. 5K people bookmarked it, 14.8 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: 289 replies, 572 quotes, 715 reposts. One bookmark for every 1.2 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

The post opens with “Today, we’re launching the @link wallet for agents”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 28-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 32 words, about the usual length for 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 Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K 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. Every launch we track in Fintech is on that vertical's directory page.
