These words can be used to trigger emotions or CTAs without much content. They are called power words, because they can be so persuasive that readers will not resist being influenced.
Emotions are what people connect with. Research has shown that people are more inclined to view content that is emotionally charged than content that doesn't.
Harvard Business Review research has shown that curiosity is the strongest trigger for virality. Because we have a hard time resisting being curious, powerful words can make us click on a blog title to continue reading.
Do you really want to know more about a title that doesn't appeal in a Google search? You wouldn't.
Let me introduce you to CoSchedule’s Headline Analyzer. This free tool will help you improve the quality of your posts by assessing the content and giving you suggestions on how to make it better.
The Headline Analyzer will evaluate the length, grammar, and readability for your headline.
Although the concept of a power word can seem confusing, it can refer to a phrase rather than one word.
It is essential that your title appeals to the audience and draws attention immediately if you want them to take action.
Include Numbers in the Title
Headlines are most effective when they are detailed. One way to make your headlines more precise is to include numbers in your blog title.
Research has shown that odd numbers should also be used. Hubspot and Outbrain found that titles with odd numbers receive 20% more clicks per title than titles with even numbers.
Numbers are fascinating to readers. If you mention seven ways, readers will be interested in finding out what they are and click-through.
It is better to use lower numbers. These promise a shorter post with simple information and easy-to-digest content. You can use larger numbers if you wish to divide your post into smaller parts.
No matter how many you choose, you must deliver the tips, tricks, or other things that you promised.
Thanks for sharing.
