Implications of the F Pattern: Users won't read your text thoroughly in a word-by-word manner. The first two paragraphs must state the most important information. Start subheads, paragraphs, and bullet points with information-carrying words If you need to say something, you absolutely must say it at the top, because… Users aren’t going to read each and every word on the page. In fact, most readers won’t really even bother reading the excerpt of an article. Anything past a headline is probably only going to be there for SEO purposes.

Pictures can often become an obstacle course to the information a user is seeking,
If it does work. Too bad. Ads :10 and inform them how long. Put above the fold Text, Photos, and Video. Hate talking head video. Useful for background for interested parties. keep it short.
