Why it spread
This chart post spread because it hit a hot topic that week with an unusual chart type, and it reached 22,041 views, 190 likes, 49 reposts, 6 quotes, and 47 saves from an account in the data journalism category.
What worked
- The post rode a hot topic that week, which gave the map a ready audience beyond the account's usual followers.
- The chart used an unusual chart type, a map, which helped it stand out in the feed.
- The post was branded and showed a source line, and it came from an account with top quarter source reach, which added credibility and shareability.
What to borrow
We could take a hot topic of the week and pair it with an unusual chart form, such as a map, while keeping our own branding and a clear source line.
Careful
Do not over-read the likes, reposts, quotes, saves, or views as proof that the chart design alone caused the spread, since the hot topic and the account's reach also played a role.
