Turbo-Charge Your Marketing With These 390+ Power Words<\/h2>\n

Ever wonder why some websites pump out viral post after viral post?<\/p>\n

Or why some brands have products that fly off the shelves while their competition falls flat?<\/p>\n

Or why you couldn\u2019t resist clicking on a link you knew was a sleazy sales page?<\/p>\n

The answer is simple.<\/p>\n

These brands have smart marketers. Marketers who use power words.<\/p>\n

These power words trigger an emotional response and pack some serious punch to the allure of any sales page, headline or ad.<\/p>\n

People are utterly seduced by power words. They get us to click, share and buy \u2013 what more could a marketer want!<\/p>\n

But how do these power words work?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why Power Words Amp Up Your Marketing<\/h2>\n

Power words crank up your marketing effectiveness by:<\/p>\n

Invoking emotion<\/strong>: People connect to emotion, not words.<\/p>\n

Studies show that content that elicits \u201chigh arousal emotion\u201d (anxiety, amusement) is\u00a0more likely to be shared<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and go viral than content that doesn\u2019t elicit emotion or elicits \u201clow arousal\u201d emotion.<\/p>\n

Power words are key to evoking these \u201chigh arousal\u201d emotions.<\/p>\n

Examples include words like \u201cInstantly\u201d, \u201cMistakes\u201d and \u201cHilarious\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Triggering curiosity<\/strong>: Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it makes the marketer\u2019s life easy.<\/p>\n

Research published by Harvard Business Review\u00a0<\/strong>found curiosity<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to be one of the most powerful triggers for virality.<\/p>\n

Since we have a hard time resisting our curiosity, strategic use of power words makes it almost impossible for us to not to click, share, and read.<\/p>\n

Power words that trigger curiosity include words such as \u201cReveals\u201d, \u201cProves\u201d, \u201cRidiculous\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take this BuzzFeed headline:<\/p>\n

\"BuzzFeed<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

The power words \u201ccringe\u201d and \u201chorror stories\u201d both elicit emotion (fear, anxiety), and their combination triggers curiosity (\u201cWhy are these horror stories so cringe-worthy?\u201d).<\/p>\n

If this headline just said \u201c21 Funny Sibling Stories\u201d, you probably wouldn\u2019t be that interested. But 21 cringe-worthy horror stories? What entertaining surprises this article must contain!<\/p>\n

The best thing about about power-words is that there are hundreds to choose from. Check out the list below.<\/p>\n
