The rise of the solopreneur
Why it spread
This chart post from @a16z spread because it paired a big source with a high quote rate, earning 1,184 likes, 176 reposts, 53 quotes, 599 saves, and 115,412 views, which is 3.6x the account's typical likes of 333.
What worked
- The post came from a big source in the top quarter of source reach, which gave the chart built-in credibility and distribution.
- The quote rate landed in the top quarter, driving 53 quotes and turning the post into a conversation starter.
- The line chart on the rise of the solopreneur, showing business applications elevated but high propensity to hire declining, was branded, included a source line, and had medium design polish and medium self labelling, making it clear and shareable.
What to borrow
We could use the same form by pairing a branded line chart with a source line and a concise title like the rise of the solopreneur, then framing our own data around a clear tension such as elevated applications but declining hiring propensity.
Careful
Do not copy the exact numbers or assume the same lift, since the 3.6x result came from a big source and a top quarter quote rate that our account may not have, and do not over-read the medium design polish and medium self labelling as the main cause.
