What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 9.7M followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. Accounts of that size usually reach 2.4 times their following.
This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 422 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.1 times the median of 688K views.
Reposts led, 971 at 12.8 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.5.
A repost is an endorsement without a comment, and a launch with an unusual repost rate was being passed along on purpose. Bookmarks: 2K. Replies: 573.
The post opens with “Today marks a new chapter for Windows, as we bring unmetered intelligence to every desk and every home,…”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.
It carries an image and no video. 92% of launches in the directory carry a video, so this is the rarer choice, and the few image launches that travelled did it on the strength of the image.
The copy runs 48 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.
