Core Concepts: Understanding Postion's Structure

To get the most out of Postion, it helps to understand how the platform is structured. Unlike simple newsletter tools or complex CMSs, Postion uses a unique hierarchy designed for creators who want to build a scalable content business.

The Hierarchy of Postion

Think of your Postion account as a universe. Inside that universe, you can create multiple worlds (Sites), and populate them with stories (Posts) and landmarks (Pages).

1. User (You)

At the top level is your User Account. This is you. Your account holds your billing information, your personal profile, and your global settings. One user can own and manage multiple Sites.

2. Sites (Your Worlds)

A Site is an independent publication or website.

• Each Site has its own subdomain (e.g., mytechblog.postion.app) or custom domain (e.g., mytechblog.com).
• Each Site has its own subscribers, settings, branding, and analytics.
• Use Case: You might have one Site for your personal blog, another for your photography portfolio, and a third for a paid newsletter about crypto. They are completely separate entities under one login.

3. Posts (Your Stories)

Posts are the heartbeat of your Site. They are dynamic, time-based entries.

• Distribution: When you publish a Post, it can be emailed to your subscribers as a newsletter.
• Organization: Posts appear in your blog feed, usually in reverse chronological order.
• Use Case: Articles, updates, essays, tutorials, and news.

4. Pages (Your Landmarks)

Pages are static, timeless content.

• Distribution: Pages are not emailed to subscribers.
• Organization: They live at a fixed URL (e.g., /about, /contact) and don't appear in your blog feed.
• Use Case: "About Me," "Contact," "Services," "Landing Pages" for products.

Organizing Your Content

Postion provides powerful tools to structure your content beyond a simple list of posts.

Series (Your Books)

A Series allows you to group related Posts into a sequential collection, like chapters in a book or a multi-part course.

• Reader Experience: When a reader finishes Part 1, they are automatically guided to Part 2.
• Use Case: "The Ultimate Guide to SEO," "A 7-Day Email Course," "My Travel Diary: Japan."

Tags (Your Index)

Tags are flexible labels you attach to Posts to categorize them by topic.

• Navigation: Clicking a tag shows a dedicated page listing all posts with that tag.
• Use Case: #Marketing, #LifeLessons, #Coding, #Recipes.

The Knowledge Hub

The Knowledge Hub is a special template/view that visualizes your content structure. It uses your Series and Tags to create a structured "learning tree," making it easy for readers to explore your archives by topic rather than just date.

Summary

Understanding these building blocks gives you the power to build not just a blog, but a comprehensive media platform.
