Several moons ago, I spoke about using five specific high-converting words in your copy – be it email, website copy or any other copy where you want people to take action.
The words I discussed are used most often to persuade.
Truth be told, many words can be used as “power” words when used the right way at the right time and for the right offer.
Consider that a single word can alter the meaning of a statement, the mood, motivation and perception.
For example, compare the word “enlist” versus “sign up” or “join.”
Or “connected” versus “smashed” when describing a car accident.
So… although these words have similar meanings, they trigger different emotions.
In my previous post I honed in on those I found most useful for marketing copy.
I did some further digging and came up with words shown to boost action taking for various occasions… check ‘em out:
