Question: True or false? Effective writers start by filling in the main points of their content and save writing the introduction and conclusion for after they’ve written their piece.
- True, it can be overwhelming to write an introduction first without knowing where the content is headed.
- True, the introduction is always the easiest part to write.
- False, writing an introduction first will help align the rest of the article.
- False, you should write your conclusion before your introduction.
Explanation
HubSpot’s guidance on blog post structure recommends building the body first so the article has a clear direction before the opening and closing are drafted. It specifically says writing the introduction too early can feel overwhelming when the writer does not yet know where the piece is going. Once the main sections or overall architecture are in place, the opening can better match the final flow and purpose of the post. This approach also helps the conclusion reflect what the article actually developed, rather than what was assumed at the start. HubSpot Academy+1
