What this launch shows

Ploid posted this from an account with 2K followers and reached 355.5 times that many people. The usual multiple for under 5K followers is 152.2. This one did 2.3 times that.

It ranks 224 of 743 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 603K views, at rank 1183 of 2314.

Saves led. 1K people bookmarked it, 24.1 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 12. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.

The rest: 212 replies, 75 quotes, 115 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.7 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

The post opens with “Introducing Ploid”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 1:10 video against a directory median of 66 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 537K views in the directory.

The copy runs 49 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 622K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.

Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 2K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.

For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
