Early reading. We have captured 1 original post for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.

A typical post picks up 191 interactions against 171K followers, an engagement rate of 0.111%. Posts are seen about 19K times each, and 1.01% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 11.1% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.03 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 5.9x its own typical post. Only 1 original post have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 157,632 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 25,982 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 16:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video0% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link100% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length--3%-3% to -2%54K
  • 0% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 100% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 95 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    I shared the news I hit the New York Times Bestseller list with my 82 year old dad today, who growing up never told me “good job” or “well done”. It was always, “You got a 95% on your test? What happened to the other 5%?” I have PTSD whenever I see a yellow legal pad or one of those black US Government issued pens. Today, however, my dad told me that last week, before I found out I hit the NYT list, he wrote a note on a card and inserted it into one of my books at Barnes and Noble. He told me he wrote something like: “This is my son’s book, and it would be amazing for you to buy it to support his work.” Bro. 😭 He’s always supported me, just in his own way. If someone out there buys that book and finds that note (we live in San Diego), please share it with me! I’m so thankful to have had support from my parents all my life. I know many people aren’t that lucky, and maybe when I was younger I just didn’t understand it, but he did spend hours making sure my math was perfect, when he didn’t have to. I’m a mess rn. From 4 years of work on this book, to hitting the list, to a big keynote I had to prepare for this week, to now this — I’m so grateful, and my mind is mush. 😅 I’m going to celebrate Father’s Day with my family (and my dad) tomorrow, and thank you all again for supporting my book! We did it! 🫶

    I was in Times Square...on a billboard! Unreal! 🤯 Thank you to @circleapp for the opportunity, but more importantly thank you for being an amazing company that I've had the pleasure of working closely with for the past 5 years. We use Circle to host our community at SPI, and I've been an advisor since the early days, and to see how far they've come, and all they continue to do to serve communities all around the world...I couldn't be more proud of their success! It was an honor to be featured here alongside several other epic community leaders, but it's the members of each of our communities on these platforms that truly make it special. I was bullish on community in 2019 when I wrote about it in Superfans, and I'm even more bullish on it now today. If you aren't building community, you're going to be left behind. And of course, I recommend Circle to build it on!

Posting runs at about 0.03 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 5.9x its own typical post.
