What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 1.1M followers. It was seen 1.5 times over. 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 281 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2.4 times the median of 688K views.

Reposts led, 26K at 159.2 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: 4K. Replies: 2K. One bookmark for every 11.7 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.

It starts “Introducing Headphone (1) Pro”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 37-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 41 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 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 giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
