How to Write a Killer Intro for Your Story.
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.
The important point about writing an intro is that it must be short. When you write a headline and then put content below it, your reader will expect the headline to correspond to the story below. Readers really won’t give much time to an intro which talks about sports, when the headline talks about 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?

The reader knows what the article is about in a broad sense and therefore they know what to expect inside the story.
In short, if you give an introduction that is really long, but which has not connection to the headline, you could be putting down your story like nothing else and this really spoils a good 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.
More essence in fewer words; the function of an introduction is to convey something about your broader point.
So, what you need to do is think about your intro is a broader sense and then bring out details that will help to bring this forth clearer and omit those which don’t. It’s better to leave out details such as dates, names, descriptions and diversions when they are not relevant to the main point presented in the anecdote, as they will not distract the reader from the real point you wish to make.
