From the President…
Why it spread
It spread because it came from a big source and rode a hot topic that week, reaching 405,835 views, 4,116 likes, 424 reposts, 29 quotes, and 409 saves, which is 3.8x the account's typical likes of 1,082.
What worked
- The post came from a big source with top quarter source reach, which gave it a wide starting audience.
- It was tied to a hot topic that week, so people already cared about the subject.
- The short, punchy text 'Don't be a panican!' paired with a simple area chart made the point easy to grasp at a glance.
What to borrow
We could use the same framing by pairing a simple area chart with a short, memorable line on a topic that is already hot that week, and by making sure our source reach is strong before we post.
Careful
Do not over-read the design polish, self labelling, or unusual form, since the chart was low polish, medium self labelling, and had no unusual form, and do not assume the quote rate helped, since it was in the bottom quarter.
