What this launch shows

From an account with 8K followers, this reached 34.5 times the account's own following. That is close to the median for 5K to 25K followers, which is 46.1 times.

It ranks 356 of 579 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 603K views, at rank 1474 of 2314.

Saves led. 1K people bookmarked it, 39.3 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: 189 replies, 91 quotes, 73 reposts.

The first line is “The biggest bottleneck at work is waiting on each other”. It carries a 30-second 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 48 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 567K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.

How to announce a funding round covers this: the round is the news and the post has to turn it into customers and hires.

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.
