15+ accounts that will teach you more about viral launches than any course on X
Accounts that taught me the most:
1. @MitcheIl the viral launch guy, founded Shown Media and directly responsible for some of the biggest tech launches on X
2. @gregisenberg Late Checkout founder, posts on product positioning and what makes launches break through. One of the most-watched launch strategists on X
3. @harrydry marketing examples breaks down real campaigns with actual before/afters, best for studying what makes copy convert
4. @mattepstein posts Claude + MrBeast-style frameworks for viral content, very practical methods
5. @VeryGoodCopy his direct response copywriting micro-lessons are essential for understanding hook mechanics
6. @alexgarcia_atx breaks down viral brand campaigns and marketing psychology in thread format, one of the clearest teachers on what makes content spread
7. @ItsKieranDrew copywriting and hooks specifically, built his entire audience reverse-engineering what makes people stop scrolling
8. @jmoserr X growth, hook writing, and the algorithm, shares very tactical lessons
9. @sweatystartup you learn distribution and launch strategy from a founder who has done it repeatedly
10. @julian Bell Curve founder, shares best frameworks on growth mechanics and what actually makes things go viral
11. @levelsio most launch reps of anyone on this list, all solo, watch what he posts on launch day
12. @amandanat she coined zero-click content and permissionless co-marketing & clearest voice on what makes content spread without paid
13. @alexxgrowth generated 1B views with ghost creators, posts pure distribution tactics, very few people talk about what he talks about
14. @richardzphotoz ran marketing at a VC-backed startup at 17, then joined a16z, one to watch early
15. @eriktorenberg leads a16z New Media, the team literally runs viral launches for portfolio companies as a service, follow to watch how the best-resourced launch machine in tech thinks
16. @alexdanco a16z New Media, the essayist on the team, best for understanding how to frame a product's story and position it inside a larger market argument & the intellectual layer behind what makes a launch land
17. @gabygoldberg a16z New Media, she is sharp on culture, tech narrative, and what resonates with a tech-native audience; follow for taste and positioning instincts
This is how the ones that go viral actually work👇
Viral Framework comes down to 4 things:
1. Market argument before product
2. Money outcome before features
3. Feature strongest moment first in the video
4. Building for the 300-person X algorithm test before anything else
“It’s like hiring Tom Cruise, finding out he charges by the stunt, and you don’t know if you’re making Jerry Maguire or Mission: Impossible” is a hilarious analogy for companies blowing their AI tokens.

He was hired to write copy with zero experience. So he kept a secret Google Doc. It became VeryGoodCopy.

Best philosophy book I’ve read in 2024: @VeryGoodCopy
Eddie Shleyner 🇺🇦 retweeted
Reading @VeryGoodCopy's book, of the same name.
Candidly, I thought I was in for more of an educational, teaching style approach to copywriting.
But, I love the way Eddie uses personal stories, ie. very good copy, to teach.
Give it a look.
