Blog Intro: How to Start a Blog That Actually Works

When you start a blog, your blog intro, the first thing readers see that decides if they stay or click away. Also known as opening post, it’s not just a greeting — it’s your handshake, your pitch, and your promise all in one. Most people think a blog intro is about sounding smart or fancy. It’s not. It’s about being real. In India, where over 150 million people write blogs, the ones that grow aren’t the ones with perfect grammar — they’re the ones that sound like a friend talking over chai.

A strong blog intro, the first thing readers see that decides if they stay or click away. Also known as opening post, it’s not just a greeting — it’s your handshake, your pitch, and your promise all in one. needs three things: a clear reason why you’re writing, a hint of what’s coming, and a human voice. Look at the posts below — they don’t start with ‘Welcome to my blog.’ They start with questions like ‘Why does your blog get zero views?’ or ‘Can you really make money blogging in India?’ That’s not an accident. It’s strategy. People don’t read blogs to hear about your journey. They read to solve their own problem. Your intro has to show you know what that problem is.

And it’s not just about words. Your intro sets the tone for everything after. If you write about Indian poetry, your intro should feel quiet, thoughtful. If you’re writing about buying domains, it should feel direct, like a checklist. The best blog intros don’t try to be everything. They pick one thing — a fear, a confusion, a dream — and hold up a mirror to it. That’s why the top Indian bloggers don’t write about ‘the art of blogging.’ They write about ‘why your last blog post got no traffic’ or ‘how I got 1,000 views without ads.’

You’ll find posts here that show you how to pick your first topic, how to write without overthinking, and how to make your intro feel like a conversation, not a lecture. Some of them are about poetry. Some are about YouTube money. But they all start the same way — with a real question, a real voice, and a real reason to keep reading. No fluff. No jargon. Just what works for bloggers in India right now.
