When it comes to writing an intro, what comes to mind is writing a small introductory passage. However, this is not all that’s to it. What you need to do to engage reader interest is to bring out your story in the right way. In order to do this, you need to encapsulate the spirit of the entire story and bring it out through an example. When you do this you have to be careful because capturing the story essence alone is not enough, you need to grasp the main point of the story, else the purpose of the story is lost.
If you have decided to write the intro, make sure that it is brief. Write a headline corresponding to the intro content because readers expect that the headline should reflect what is mentioned in the content below it. Your reader is not going to be spending much time on the intro when it talks about sports when the headline says vacations.
Furthermore, you may have captured the essence of the story very well in the intro, but you have to ask yourself the question.. is the intro short enough to engage reader interest before the content return to elaborating on the subject a hand?
In this piece above, you can see that the intro is pretty short. This is the kind of intro that works with the audience because the reader is aware of what they are reading and absorbing it fully. The reader knows what the article is about in a broad sense and therefore they know what to expect inside the story.
Thus, if you write a very long introduction which does not relate to the headline, you would be putting down reader interest in an otherwise engaging story.
In case you use big anecdote, you must let your reader be aware of how it is connected to your subject, otherwise you will find that readers will opt out of reading your topic, even before you bring out your point.
In short, what is necessary is using less words in bring out a perfect story essence. The aim of an introduction is to out forth your subject in a broader and more general sense.
If you want to do this right, you have to think about your intro in a broader sense and include those details which bring this out and leave out those that don’t. So, if you have extra details such as dates, names, descriptions and diversions but which are not really necessary for the essence of the anecdote, do not mention them as they will only distract the reader.

If you want to grab the reader’s attention you must pay attention with the introductory passage. This is the lead in for the rest of your story. Think about your intro as a whole and consider which details help do this and which do not
