The point of a first draft is to get your ideas down on a page.
You're not looking for perfection. You're not looking for logic.
During your edits you can begin rearranging your thoughts and ideas to engage with your audience.
Look at the sentences that create emotion. Look at the sentences that introduce the product.
You want to lead with emotion. Intensify pain points. Make them urgent.
Discuss a pain point.

The more you write, the more you'll naturally follow this kind of flow.
Practice makes perfection.
