Post more.
Grow more. Really?
Everyone has an opinion on posting more. I looked at the followers and combined post counts of 628 mutuals instead.
Followers ÷ lifetime combined posts, including replies and reposts. This is a snapshot ratio, not followers gained from a post.
The leaders, by account size.
Top five in each bandSelect a person to inspect their saved counts. Dashed blue line = band mean. The axis adjusts to the selected band.
Most of us
are down here.
The top five are the extremes.
This is where all 628 accounts fall.
Ten buckets. The final 2.25+ bucket includes the full upper tail, up to 77.28. Select a bar for the exact count.
A big gap between
the average and typical.
The mean and median rise in every higher follower band in this sample. A handful of very high ratios pull the average upward. The median tells a quieter story.
That is an observation about a frozen network. It doesn’t tell us how many followers the next post will bring. The follower bands also use the same number that sits in the ratio’s numerator.
