What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 4K followers. It was seen 373.5 times over. For under 5K followers the median reach is 161.4 times the following.

This launch beat that by 2.3 times. It ranks 59 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2.4 times the median of 688K views.

Saves led. 2K people bookmarked it, 10.2 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.

The rest: 264 replies, 99 quotes, 278 reposts. One bookmark for every 1.2 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

It starts “WTF is a SOTA Wife”. It carries a 1:12 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 51 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 Sunday. Launches posted on a Sunday have a median of 526K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

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 X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
