Here Are Easy Ways To Write A Powerful And Addictive Introduction For Your Blog Post

1. Make Your First Sentence Stick
If your blog post needs to make a positive impact on your reader, the first sentence should be able to do that. It should be able tostick in the brain of the readerand make them understand what the post is all about.
2. Give Reasons
Whenever you are writing, always remember that your words are significant. For someone to stop what they’re doing and give you their attention, you need to give them a solid reason why they should do so. And there’s no better place to do that other than in your introductory paragraph.
3. Make Use Of Comparisons
Every reader already has their “truth”. Try and relate to that in your introduction and you will have them on your side.
Try to show a comparison that bridges what they know and what you want them to know.
4. Make Your Opening Controversial
The human mind is programmed by nature to not swallow every piece of information hook, line, and sinker. We sometimes enjoy controversial issues. This is even more so when the controversy stems from someone we trust and see as an authority.
Persuading people to read your blog posts does not depend on just having several posts on your site; rather, it depends on the value the readers place on those posts.
5. Tell An Interesting Story
Who doesn’t like listening to stories? … No one.
Most people enjoy stories, especially when they’re interesting, informative, and entertaining. One of the qualities of a good copywriter is mastering the art of storytelling. Look around the internet today, and you will see the impact of this.
6. Keep The Introduction Short
People love reading shorter sentences which they can easily understand.
When writing, try as much as possible to avoid long, complicated sentences because a lot of readers find it difficult to comprehend them. Minimize the use of unnecessary adverbs, adjectives, and words that hardly help make your point clear.
7. Use Simple, Exact Words
This is not the right time to showcase your grammatical prowess; excessive use of grammaror jargon can actually scare away a lot of your readers. Try and use words that can easily be understood without consulting a dictionary.
Your readers are not linguistics students, and they may never be comfortable if you try to talk to them in complex English.
8. Make Your Topic Unique
It is almost impossible to see a topic out there on the internet that has not been talked about by someone.
Most things are simply being recycled from one blogger to another. You can avoid falling into the trap of doing what everyone else is doing by making your post unique, even if the idea is not.
Change the way a topic has been presented, and add in your unique voice or touch to it
9. Agitate And Offer
It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t have a problem.
People are seeking for solutions to their various problems, and they will readily listen to anyone who understands their plight and perhaps has a solution for their challenges. You need toidentify the troublethey are having,concentrate and lay more emphasison the problem, and then offer them a solution.
When you lay emphasis on the problem, it’s not because you are cruel, it’s because you really want to show compassion. You simply let the reader know that you understand their plight and that you can solve their problem because of your experience in handling similar cases.
10. Make Predictions
Just imagine telling your readers ten years ago that in the next decade, footballers would be earning up to $600,000 every week. You would then be one of the respected voices in the football world today because your prediction came true.
Make mind-boggling predictions in your introduction. Your readers will stick around and finish the post just so they won’t loose any insight into the industry you are so knowledgeable about.
However, be sure you have a thorough knowledge of the subject before making any predictions; otherwise, you will look stupid when you say something really wrong.
Making predictions comes from your ability to analyze situations and critically think far ahead into the future.

Introduction?

Most people know what they are looking for on the sites they visit....they just go straight to what they are looking for.
Nobody reads introduction except that is why they came for your site (which is rare).
All the same, one should put up a good introduction. But not at the detriment of the contents of the site.


BTW Seun where is the introduction of Nairaland?

TO BLOW WHISTLE NO NEED 10 STEPS JOOR!!! OP SWERVE!!!

Even you, the OP: Kingvectorv, did not follow the rules you gave. Your one-liner intro is basically a repetition of the topic, which I must confess, is good for SEO purposes.

You are right. Most people do not read introductions but most sites still include them for SEO purposes.

Quite easy tips,op.We learn everyday.As a budding writer/blogger,one of the writing tips I learnt today is this:when writing or creating an engaging post for your readers,SHOW THEM.Don't TELL THEM.How do I mean?Give them an example.If I tell you to 'show kindness,'I also give an example of what showing kindness looks like..........That's it.
