💡 Today’s Insight 💡

🗞 TL;DR - According to social scheduler Buffer, power words are “words or phrases that evoke an emotional response in your audience.” They grab the reader’s attention and can make a huge difference in your content performance (you’ve probably seen me do it with the words “FREE” or “groundbreaking”). To help you get started, Buffer curated a list of top power words for you to use in your marketing efforts.

💡Insight - Buffer broke down power words into different use cases - here are a few you might find helpful…

For customer service: answer (aka “here’s the answer you’re looking for), assist, easily, feedback, frustrating

For leveraging the curiosity gap: behind the scenes, controversial, countdown, did you know, eye-opening

For stopping the scroll: announcing, better way, dangerous, discount, elusive

For emotional resonance: adventure, achieve, afraid, avoid, beautiful/delicious

For gaining your audience’s trust: bestselling, case study, endorsed by, exclusive, experts
