Measured over 18 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 210 interactions against 384K followers, an engagement rate of 0.055%. Measured over 18 original posts, its engagement rate beats 42% of 3,882 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 25K times each, and 0.848% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.44% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.93 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 18 posts sampled, 39% carry an image or video, 11% are part of a thread and 6% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.8K interactions, about 42x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Sam Parr's engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 38% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

why Naval deleted his calendar, ghosts everyone, and refuses to be anywhere at a specific time Naval: "I read a blog post by Marc Andreessen where he said don't keep a schedule. And I took that to heart. So I deleted my calendar and I don't keep a schedule. I try to remember it all in my head. If I can't remember it, I'm not going to add it." "I have a nasty email autoresponder that says, I don't check email and don't text me either. If you need to find me, you'll find me." "My wife knows not to ever book or schedule me for anything. I'm not expected to go to couples dinners. I'm not expected to go to birthdays. I'm not expected to go to weddings. If somebody tries to rope her into having me show up, she says he makes his own decisions. You got to ask him directly." Chris: "Are you not killing serendipity in a way?" Naval: "No. I'm freeing up all my time. So my entire life is serendipity. I get to interact with whoever I want, whenever I want, wherever."

Finishing up Tupac's biography by Jeff Pearlman. 9/10 book. My biggest takeaway: he was incredibly talented and a huge piece of shit. Which sucks because I admired him for such long time. I thought it was cool how someone made so much stuff in such a short time. And he's cool looking, made awesome music, occasionally said some dope stuff, and was a great actor. But he was such a garbage human being. Sexual assault issues (twice, once convicted), beat up innocent people (tons), was high/drunk (always) + unprofessional on sets, and had zero self control. Once on a movie set a director was like look man, you're late all the time, complaining about your part (we're not changing the script), and drunk/high when you shouldn't be. If you don't get right, we're going with someone new. Pac's reaction: him and 4 gangbangers showed up and beat the director with a pipe. Yet, that same guy + everyone else all said the same stuff: we've never seen someone with so much talent (and he barely tried) When he was ~19 he was in a movie called Juice. His first film. And he stole the show. Watch it. The movie's fine. But his scenes are the best. In high school he was in a play. Everyone was freaking out because 10 minutes before show time he's still not there. He shows up literally as it starts. Barely knows his lines, makes stuff up. Yet, got a standing ovation because of how magnetic he was. It sucks because he grew up very poor, with a bad drug addict mom who wasn't there for him, and had everything going against him. Yet he made it! Would have been a helluva redemption story. But his demons were too strong. There was always an asterisk next to everything. He could have done X but got in trouble and couldn't make it. He wasn't raised as a gangster but became one after getting successful, which is why he was murdered (he beat up a gang member and the shooting was in retaliation). So, is there a takeaway from his book? Maybe. What goes around comes around, I guess. But more so...if you got the goods, treat people well. You don't want an asterisks next to what you do (could of, should of, but didn't go all the way through). Seems obvious. Too bad he didn't figure it out.

How I use ai for copywriting. Ai sucks at writing. We all know this. But it can help with one BIG thing in writing. So, the hardest but maybe the most important part of copywriting is finding the big idea then a story, fact, anecdote that reiterates the big idea that makes the big idea more palatable and easier to remember. Basically...making your writing stick with the reader. Ai is amazing and helping me find a story that sticks. An example: I was writing something for Hampton explaining why Core groups are great. You're in a room with others like you, some better, some worse...all trying to push you + get the most out of you + help you hit your life goals. I told Claude that. It gave me a bunch of stories back. One was about how someone went to Michelangelo and was like "hey, Michelangelo...the Statue of David is amazing. How'd you invent something so amazing?" "Oh no no, " Michelangelo said. "It wasn't me. I didn't invent anything. The beautiful Statue of David was already there underneath all that big rock. I merely helped remove the unnecessary parts so the beauty could be seen." Thus, describing the psychological phenomenon where close peers help shape you into your ideal state. This, by the way, is a proven thing. When you're around others who push you, people who know your goals, and want you to succeed...they start treating you in a way where you start becoming who you need to be to reach your goals. But that name? The Michelangelo Effect. Chef's kiss. A wonderful phrase that I will use a bunch to get the idea across. Now, to be clear, I still got a lot of junk facts and stories from Claude. And you still have to have taste and judgement. But as soon as I saw that idea...boom, that's mine now. So, that's how I use ai to help with copywriting.

I found a guy running a newsletter about farming that does about $18m a year. It goes to 30,000 to 40,000 people paying around $600 a year. Congressmen, senators, hedge funds, and big trading groups read it. And it's basically just him writing it, with a staff of about four. https://t.co/3gTfWyPs82

$6 to acquire a customer. Ridge's cost to get someone to buy a wallet on Facebook was $6. Their wearable was $400. One year they only grew from $15m to $18m because they physically couldn't make enough wallets. We asked the CEO of Ridge Wallet why the wallet won when their other products didn't. The cost to get someone to buy the wearable on Facebook was $400. The cost to get someone to buy the wallet was $6. He told us one year they only went from $15m to $18m, and that was just because they couldn't make enough wallets to keep them in stock. Demand was never the problem. They could just put up a new static image ad and it sold.

- What is Sam Parr's engagement rate on X?
- Sam Parr (@thesamparr) has an engagement rate of 0.055%, based on the median interactions across 18 original posts from the last 30 days against 383,504 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.055%, Sam Parr sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @thesamparr have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @thesamparr post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.93 posts per day across the measured window.
