What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 278K followers. It was seen 4.9 times over. For over 100K followers the median reach is 2.4 times the following.

This launch beat that by 2 times. It ranks 310 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2 times the median of 688K views.

Every response ran below the directory's usual rate: 522 bookmarks, 117 replies, 60 quotes and 129 reposts against 2K likes. The post was seen more than it was acted on, which is common for a launch that reaches past the people who care about the category.

It starts “Step 3.7 Flash is now free for 30 days via Nous Portal”. It carries a 14-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 47 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 Saturday. Launches posted on a Saturday have a median of 524K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Virality without conversion covers this: reach that outruns response is the pattern this guide is about. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
