When to use it

Reach for Explain it simply when you want to teach your audience something they can use straight away and make a post people save and come back to. Its structure is reference: the essentials of a subject, to come back to. Give Postora your topic and it keeps the shape, writing every slide about your subject in your voice.

What each slide does

  1. 1Hook

    Opening: name the concept and promise that it will finally make sense.

    In the example

    Why an emergency fund comes before investing

    Money basics · Part 3

    Three months of calm, explained in five slides.

  2. 2Point

    Define the concept in one plain sentence, plus a line people will repeat.

    In the example

    Emergency fund

    “The money that keeps a bad week from becoming a bad year.”

    Cash set aside only for surprises: a broken boiler, a lost job, a vet bill.

    noun · also “rainy-day money”

  3. 3Steps

    How it works, in three steps a beginner can follow.

    In the example

    Building one

    How it works

    • Add up a month — Rent, food, bills, transport.
    • Multiply by three — That is your target.
    • Automate it — A fixed transfer the day you are paid.
  4. 4Comparison

    A concrete example with two numbers side by side.

    In the example

    With a fund, or on a card?

    Same €800 car repair

  5. 5Point

    The mistake that undoes it.

    In the example

    Dipping in for a holiday

    Watch out

    If it is planned, it is not an emergency.

  6. 6Recap

    The rules to keep, in three short lines.

    In the example

    Keep it simple

    In a nutshell

    Keep this

    • Three months of costs
    • Separate account
    • Refill it first
  7. 7Call to action

    Invite readers to follow for the next part of the series.

    In the example

    Paying off debt: which one first?

    Coming Monday

    A new money basic every Monday.
