Mapped: All of the World’s Countries Ranked by How Happy They Are 😄
Why it spread
This post spread because it paired a self explaining world map with a hot topic that week, and it reached 23,722 views, 201 likes, 54 reposts, 5 quotes and 59 saves from an account in the data journalism space.
What worked
- The chart type is a map, which lets readers find their own country instantly and makes the global happiness comparison easy to grasp.
- The post is highly self labelling and includes a source line, so viewers can trust and share it without extra explanation.
- The topic was a hot topic that week and the source reach sits in the top quarter, giving the post a strong push beyond the account's usual audience.
What to borrow
We could take a ranked global or regional topic and present it as a clearly labelled map with a visible source line, so our own data explains itself and travels on its own.
Careful
Do not over read the low unusual form or the below average quote rate, and do not assume the same topic will perform the same way for us just because it worked here.
