If you're writing for profit, you will want to readers to stay glued to your page for several seconds or more -even better if they read the whole article. The first few sentences will make or break the blog post or write-up.
The title and the contents of the introductory elements helps the reader decide if they want to read further or they will just skip to the next search result.
Think of the view from a 4 -inch iPhone or a 5-inch phablet. Think of the elements that can be seen on that limited space. What should be contained in the first two or three sentences in your introduction?
If there are more elements in your post, it would be good to present an immediate outline as a teaser on what they can expect from your whole post. The mobile device users are among the most impatient readers, not because they are simply impatient per se, but rather we should understand the factors like battery life, internet speed, and viewing limitation of the phone or tablet.
It has been predicted that by 2015, mobile device users will outnumber the desktop and laptop computer users. Source: mashable.com/2010/04/13/mobile-web-stats/
Think about long-range planning for profitable writing.
This post is generally intended for non-fiction writers. If you are a creative writer who's not really into making profit from writing, I thank you for reading this far.
