How to hook your reader in the first two paragraphs

Patsi Krakoff at the Blog Squad explains how she structures her content for maximum impact: 
First paragraph focuses on the problem using keywords important to my readers. 
Second paragraph either expands on the problem, or diverges off into a small story or personal anecdote. By the time I get to a third paragraph, I’ve often sparked a memory or an idea that could be useful to my clients. Then I make a list of solutions or suggestions. 
Then the last paragraph is a call to some sort of action. I may ask readers a question or suggest a ‘next step.’ This may include a link to contact me or call me or download a special report.
