Thank you for this good information.
It is true that there are words that cause emotion in people and it more easily triggers a desire to buy. But as you have explained very well, it is not enough to write good words; we have to offer quality products that bring value to our writing. Otherwise we will build a reputation for good talkers and con artists.

The unfortunate part Is you get many more people using these words without ensuring they aligned to the quality of the products they are selling or promises made.
