Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 4K 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.
Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one. This launch sits in the Developer Tool and Frontier Lab directories.
