Clearbill, editorial style

The fastest way to make a viewer care is to name their problem in the first second. The problem-solution format earns attention with a relatable pain, then keeps it by paying off the fix one slide at a time — perfect for products that solve something specific.

Example: Clearbill

A problem → solution carousel in the editorial style, for a ai subscription tracker.

“I finally fixed the annoying part of…”
“if this happens to you, watch this”

How the slides flow

  1. 1
    Hook
    Name the pain in plain language.
  2. 2
    Agitate
    Show why the usual fixes fall short.
  3. 3
    Solution
    Reveal the fix step by step.
  4. 4
    CTA
    Point to the app/link that solves it.

How to write a good one

  • Write the pain as a moment in the viewer’s words (“three apps open just to split one dinner bill”), not as a category like “expense management”.
  • Spend one slide on why the usual fixes fail. It earns the reveal, so the solution feels found rather than pitched.
  • Show the fix working: one app screen with one line saying what changed.

What makes it fall flat

  • Revealing the product on slide one. Viewers swipe away from an ad but stay for a problem they recognise.
  • Claiming results you can’t show, like “saved me hours”. Show the before and the after and let the viewer draw the conclusion.

A problem → solution slideshow, written out

A bill-splitting app, told through the problem it fixes. Format: Problem → Solution, 7 slides. An illustrative draft to adapt, not a real account’s post.

  1. Slide 1Splitting one dinner bill took us 20 minutes and three apps
  2. Slide 2Someone always pays for drinks they didn’t have
  3. Slide 3The shared spreadsheet died after one trip
  4. Slide 4Payment requests got lost in the group chat
  5. Slide 5What fixed it: one shared list everyone adds to as we go
  6. Slide 6The app does the maths, down to who skipped dessert
  7. Slide 7Next trip, set it up before the first dinner

Caption: the group-trip argument nobody wants to have, settled before it starts
