Writing a blog and ensuring that people read through it and press the like or the share button is a different ball game altogether. With people scrolling through as fast as they can due to the lack of time, you need to hold their attention for extended periods. It is essential to selling your idea to your target audience to make sure that they know all about your product and that they do buy your idea. We must remember that the first impression is the last. 

A reader’s attention span is determined by how engaging the introduction to your blog post is. An introduction that is very involved tends to make the reader read through it and compels them to read the rest of the centre. The following are the reasons why it is essential-

• It provides a hook to your article to anchor the reader to the page.
• It glues the skimmers.
• It helps your blog land on top of search engine pages.
• It grabs social media attention.
• It enables you to improve your SEO game.

We hope the above reasons make you understand how critical your blog post introduction is. We bring you a few tips to make your blog post introduction stand out and leave a mark on the reader.

Address Common Problems

Try to address problems faced by the masses in our introduction. This helps your introduction to resonate with the audience and makes them read further. It forces them to read the whole article and piques their interest. This also allows them to find a reason to read the post in search of solutions to their issues. This also increases the share rates and likes on the centre, making it land on the search engine result pages, grabbing the most likes and boosting conversion rates.

Make it Worth the Time

When writing an introduction, it is vital to make the reader feel that reading the blog will be worth it. It is essential to make them think that the blog would make them utilize their time in the best way and would solve their problem. However, make sure not to solve the issue in the introduction because if the reader finds a solution in the introduction itself, they won’t read through your whole post and will lose interest very quickly.

Appeal Emotionally

Make sure that your introduction has the emotional quotient on point. Appealing to the masses’ emotions surely helps make them read your blog post entirely. Emotions help people relate better to various issues, making them feel they are not the only ones facing them. It makes them read past the introduction and reach out to the essential parts of the blog in search of concrete solutions to their problems. It makes the reader feel that the writer has been in their shoes and looked for answers they have poured into this blog.

Explain The Benefits

No one reads a blog if it has no benefits to them. With hectic work lives, people have very little time on their hands to look up solutions to their problems. Make sure that you explain to the reader that they will benefit after reading your blog, which will surely help them solve the issues they face. Make sure you explain to them that this will not be a waste of their time and that they should read further to get some great advice or help.

Use Quotes

It also helps set a tempo to the introduction to ensure that the reader is compelled to read further. They also help provide a framework to structure your content. Quotes act as unique ways to summarize what the content of the blog is going to be about. It helps give a framework to the blog and ensures that the reader gains interest in the post from the start.

Increase their hopes, Awaken Dreams
