My goal here was to connect the topic of blog post introductions with the broader topics of readers, customers, and sales. Stimulating the imagination is an instant way to engage the reader in the experience of the article. People want to solve their problems, and articles that explain how to do it will help you gain readership. It is useful to analyze the issues to be considered in the “Introduction” section under 3 headings. First, information on the general topic of the article should be provided in light of the current literature, paving the way for the disclosure of the purpose of the manuscript. Then the specific topic and the topic to focus on should be addressed, the problem should be raised, and basic references to the topic should be discussed. Finally, our recommendations for solutions must be described, i.e. our objective must be communicated. If these steps are followed in this order, the reader can follow the problem and its solution from his own point of view in light of the current literature.

Otherwise, even a perfect study presented in an unsystematized and confusing design loses the chance to read. In fact, insufficient information, inability to clarify the problem, and sometimes concealment of the solution will deter the reader who wishes to receive new information from reading the manuscript. [1–3] Another great way to start your article is to use an attention-grabbing quote. Oh, the power of imagination. Works as a charm for article introductions every time. Here is another example of an article introduction from Coach the Life Coach: The reader tries to obey the imperative by imagining. This effort forces the reader to keep reading and drag him through the article. Your English teacher would call this the “thesis.” Here you tell the reader what the article is about.

What will you discuss in turn? What will the reader learn? Put it on to set the reader`s expectations and help them decide if they want to read the entire article, scroll to different parts or not read it at all. Of course, longer articles deserve longer introductions. But it`s important to respect people`s time and attention. You can`t change what is (people`s short attention span) by writing a long introduction based on what should be (longer attention span). And you can use the article`s introduction to tease the results and get people to read more like this: Few things can make or break your article as easily as an introduction. Notice that I highlighted the “Empathy” section – the first sentence. Here, I helped establish a connection with my readers. Then I told a short story about my own experiences. After that, I ended the introduction with “What`s next.” When you follow these tips when writing good introductions, you possess a valuable skill that can be used for many things in life. Whether it`s a journal or a blog post, your audience will appreciate the clarity and conciseness of your writing. If you understand how to answer these questions quickly and effectively, you`ll keep your readers glued to your article until the last word.

It may seem obvious, but introductions are always placed at the beginning of an article. They guide your reader from a general area to the narrow topic covered by your article. They also explain this from your article: Similar to storytelling, sharing something personal in an introduction can pique a visitor`s curiosity. Either he will feel that he can relate to it, or the story will be so unique that he will be pushed to keep reading to learn more. Check out Schwartz`s chart below to see what I mean. It shows where people stopped scrolling in an experiment that covers many articles on the web. For example, suppose your study focuses on MAPK signaling in triple-negative breast cancer in a particular population. If you are submitting your work to a wide-ranging journal, it may be helpful to begin this section with a brief introduction to breast cancer in general. However, if you decide to submit a breast cancer-specific review, it would make sense to start the introduction by discussing triple-negative breast cancer, or even the role of MAPK signaling in triple-negative breast cancer. The introduction to your research work is not only important.
