Words Are Powerful: The Future of Your Business Depends on Them

Introduction: A Good Title Matters

Words are powerful. I don’t know about you, but more than once I’ve clicked on a headline that’s silver lined with mystery and intrigue.

Before I know it, I’m “rewarded” with a video of two Philomena midgets, waste-high in KY jelly, pleasuring a donkey with an oversized vegetable. And while I’m rooting for the donkey (and perhaps watching on with a morbid curiosity), I wonder why I ever fell afoul of yet another “clickbait” title.

And the truth is this: clever use of language and a peppering of psychology.

Throughout history, we’ve used words to inspire, empower or elevate our self-esteem. Yet the power of language can also be twisted to oppress minorities, incite rage or attempt to crush mankind’s hopes and dreams.

In business, few of us comprehend how effective words can be for building traction online.

A good headline, title or eyeball clutching advertisements appeals to our emotions. They add a hint of mystery and perhaps offer actionable advice.

“More than 2 million blog posts, 294 billion emails, and 864 thousand hours of video are created daily.”

You’re probably reading this article because you can’t afford to hire a copywriter. Maybe you’ve got a diamond in the rough and you don’t know where to start. Perhaps you need a little inspiration to give you a gentle nudge in the right direction.

But, be warned: A Day in the Internet found that more than 2 million blog posts, 294 billion emails, and 864 thousand hours of video are created daily.

Therefore, to believe “it will sell itself” or “build it and they will come”is naive nonsense. Remember that there’s nothing wrong with using language to attract visitors to your website.

This might seem a little obvious to you and me. But, I’ve had clients who acted like ambushed, panicked soldiers when I challenged them about this. They dug in, refused to change anything and gave me a long list of reasons why.

However, the real motivation for their actions was always clear to me. It wasn’t that they are control freaks or that they’re a special breed of stupid; they’re too afraid to succeed.

This may surprise you, but it’s staggering how many people have the courage to turn up to start their own business but are too scared to make it work.

But, you’re not like them and we both march fearlessly to the pounding rhythm of some drum they’ll never hear. We have a devout belief in acting on informed decisions. And the following statistics will really help you and your business to succeed:

According to research conducted by Convinceandconvert.com, 33% of email recipients open an email based on the subject alone.

Yet Chadwick Martin Bailey’s research found that 64% of people who open an email, do so because of the subject line.

Wow… That’s monumental. But, there’s more:

  • 44% of email recipients make a minimum of one purchase based on a promotional email every year
  • Email subject lines with fewer than 10 characters have an average open rate of 58%
  • B2B companies experienced higher open rates of promotional emails when their subject line contains the words “money”, “profit” or “revenue”
  • Personalised subject lines are 22.2% more likely to be opened

Additionally, boffins found that blog titles also have an impact on the performance of content:

  • 80% of readers never read beyond the headline
  • Website traffic can vary by as much as 500% based on the headline
  • Blog headlines with numerical numbers attract 25% more readers than regular titles
  • Odd numbered titles perform 20% better than even numbered titles
  • Titles with the word “photo” are among the most linked to content online
  • Titles with the word “photograph” are among the least linked to content online
  • 14.64% of blog content is retweeted on Twitter, but is never clicked on
  • 16.12% of blog posts had more retweets on Twitter than clicks

So, now that you know that words are powerful, how about we turn your content from an epic brand failure to viral genius?

Words are Powerful. Here’s How They’ll Amp Up Your Marketing:

Invoking emotion: Like it or not, people connect to language through their emotions. Studies have shown that a content eliciting positive or negative emotions is more likely to be shared on social media than content which doesn’t. In short, your choice of language is key to evoking a subconscious “high arousal”. Here are a few words that you may use: “Instantly”, “Mistakes” and“Hilarious”.

Triggering curiosity: Curiosity makes for an easy day at the office for any marketer. Research published by Harvard Business Review identified curiosity to be one of the primary triggers in viral content.

Where to Use Powerful Words:

  1. Headlines
  2. Sub-headlines
  3. Product Names
  4. Popups
  5. Takeovers
  6. Scroll boxes
  7. Landing Pages
  8. Buttons
  9. Testimonials
  10. Email Subject Lines
  11. Your Business/Domain Name
  12. Calls to Action
  13. In Content

Negative Words Are Powerful

With copywriting, you sometimes have to shine a light on your visitor’s problems and emphasise their emotional agony. This bloodbath helps to highlight that what you’re offering is a beacon of hope. See what I did there?

It may sound a touch dramatic. But when your solution, with all its positive connotations, juxtaposes negative words designed to provoke fear and misery, the result is gold. Your product or service will appear to be more powerful or revolutionary.

Here’s an example:

WARNING: Do you worry that your business is vulnerable and on the brink of financial Armageddon? We guarantee to be your salvation. We’ll make you more money with one of our new, highly profitable landing pages. We’ll even give you an ironclad copy for FREE.

If you analyse the above paragraph, you’ll notice that I included negative, fear-mongering words. At their core, they evoke or play on the reader’s emotions: vulnerability, brink, financial Armageddon, worry.

However, the words salvation, guarantee, more, money, new, revolutionary, highly profitable, ironclad, free, all oppose the oppressive words and phrases that preceded them.

If you use powerful words that draw attention to a problem or if you tap into depressive emotions, always make sure that you tender a benefit or a solution. If you don’t, you’re going to torture your visitors and pummel them into believing that you’re as much of the problem as everything else is. This strips away the notion that words are powerful.

So now that you know that negative words are powerful, here’s a list that you can use to get more leads or sales:

  • Agony
  • Apocalypse
  • Armageddon
  • Assault
  • Backlash
  • Beating
  • Beware
  • Blinded
  • Blood
  • Bloodbath

Mystery Words are Powerful

Why are mystery words powerful? Because they evoke intrigue. They make the reader want to find out secret information that nobody else knows. Psychologists attribute this curiosity to how we interact and use Facebook and other social media platforms. Our instincts and primal desire to hunt are engaged by our continual search for new or important information that will benefit us and our tribe of friends.

Ipsos conducted a study on our use of Facebook. They found that 61% of users share interesting things, 43% share important things, while 10% of us show we’re ‘in the know’.

Therefore, use mystery words or phrases to make your branded content or landing pages interesting and important without ever attempting to elevate someone’s position. Easy, right?

Here are a few examples:

  • Bootleg copy of behind-the-scenes footage from Transformers is smuggled out of China. Watch it before it’s banned.
  • Controversial UFO Footage Withheld by Authorities to Cover-Up Forbidden Inca Knowledge
  • Get Access to Classified Landing Page Trade Secrets Off-Limits to The Public
  • Get Concealed and Controversial Marketing Techniques

“Use mystery to entice prospects into doing what you want them to do.”

The above examples use language to hint at danger and excitement, without being viewed as an external threat.

So now that you know that mystery words are powerful, here’s a list that you can use to get your business more leads or sales:

  • Backdoor
  • Banned
  • Behind the Scenes
  • Black Market
  • Blacklisted
  • Bootleg
  • Underground
  • Priceless
  • Unheard of
  • Little-known
  • Trade Secret
  • Illusive
  • Classified
  • Restricted
  • Censored
  • Concealed
  • Confessions
  • Confidential
  • Controversial
  • Covert
  • Lost
  • Off-limits
  • Outlawed
  • Private Secrets
  • Smuggled
  • Strange
  • Unauthorized
  • Withheld
  • Cover-up
  • Forbidden
  • Forgotten
  • Hidden
  • Illegal
  • Insider

Trust Words Are Powerful!

Never underestimate the power of trust. High converting landing pages rake in fistful after fistful of cash by focusing on getting the visitor to trust their brand.

This is because if we trust someone then we’re more likely to believe what it is that they’re telling us.

BONUS: Words are powerful, but when you combine them with a picture of you smiling, then people will trust you more. This is because we like images of real people who smile and we instinctively trust people who we like.

Here are a few examples:

  • 100% Moneyback Guaranteed
  • Endorsed by George Lucas as the Official Star Wars Blog
  • Tested and verified by accredited physicians

So now that you know that trust words are powerful, here’s a list that you can use to get more leads or sales:

  • Approved
  • Well Respected
  • Case-study
  • Reliable
  • Accredited
  • Recognized
  • Fully Refundable
  • Anonymous
  • Authentic
  • Backed
  • Best-selling

Greedy Words Are Powerful

Greed is a nagging and exhausting emotion. We need, want and desire so much in life, with little of what we absorb bringing joy or satisfaction.

Yet greed is the motivation behind most of the things that we do. Here’s a perfect example of what I mean:

Facebook was launched on February 4th, 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and his roommates… well, let’s say it went well for them. Zuckerberg believes that the main reason for the social media platform’s success is our greedy desire to have more sex.

So how does all this swing back to how words can be used to appeal to our greedy desires?

Well, a few of our landing pages are good examples of what I mean:

  • If you pray for leads, we guarantee a miracle.
  • Get cheap skip hire quotes from trusted companies local to you.

Here are two more examples that prove that greedy words are powerful:

  • Good news, you just hit the jackpot; rich profits and massive marked down savings!
  • One dollar giveaway contest! Whopping six figures to be won!

And so on… While some of this may feel a little lowbrow for your brand or your website, it’s time to get off your mighty tall steed. Look inward and ask: “why does greed work so well?”. The easy answer is that regardless of everything that we have in life, we want more because we believe it will make us happy.

Therefore, the morality of using words that appeal to greed is unimportant. What matters is that what you’re offering is not misleading.

So now that you know that greedy words are powerful, here’s a list that you can use to bait your visitors to do what you need them to do:

  • Bargain
  • Best
  • Billion
  • Bonanza
  • Bonus
  • Cash
  • Cheap
  • Discount
  • Dollar
  • Double
  • Economical
  • Explode
  • Extra Feast
  • Fortune
  • Free
  • Freebie
  • Frenzy
  • Frugal
  • Gift
  • Giveaway
  • Greatest
  • Inexpensive
  • Instantly
  • Jackpot
  • Luxurious
  • Marked down
  • Massive
  • Monetize
  • Money
  • Nest egg
  • Pay zero
  • Paint-by-numbers
  • Price Break
  • Prize
  • Profit
  • Quadruple
  • Reduced
  • Rich
  • Savings
  • Six-figure
  • Skyrocket
  • Soaring
  • Surge
  • Treasure
  • Triple
  • Up-sell
  • Value
  • Whopping

Aggressive Words Are Powerful

Abusive or aggressive words are powerful. They’re ideal for fanning the flames to motivate people to do what you need them to do.

Here are a couple of examples:

  • Are you sick and tired of being a snivelling, money-grabbing Nazi?
  • Underhanded, crooked politicians; smug, sneaky and altogether evil. Stop their revolting lies! Stop them before they force you to be bankrupt! They’ll maul your business, pound your profits and beat you till you give up. Revolt! Turn around your life! Read our ebook. Read it now before they ban it!

The above might be the bastard love child of Alex Jones and Neil Patel; a red-eyed mutant too crazy to live and too rare to die. But if you stand idle, use vanilla flavoured language or ride in the slipstream of others, you’ll keep spinning your wheels.

You’ve got to stand out through your choice of words and language to make you different.

So now that you know that aggressive words are powerful, here’s a list that you can use to get your visitors to do exactly what you need them to do:

  • Abuse
  • Arrogant
  • Ass-kicking
  • Backstabbing
  • Beat down
  • Bullshit
  • Bully
  • Coward
  • Hostile
  • Corrupt
  • Morally
  • Bankrupt
  • Thug
  • Greedy
  • Sneaky
  • Brutal
  • Exploit
  • Crooked
  • Crush
  • Disgusting
  • Evil
  • Force-fed
  • Foul
  • Hate
  • Know it all
  • Lies
  • Loathsome
  • Loser
  • Lying
  • Maul
  • Moneygrubbing
  • Nazi
  • No Good
  • Obnoxious
  • Payback
  • Pound
  • Preposterous
  • Punish
  • Revolting
  • Ruthless
  • Sick and Tired
  • Smug
  • Snivelling
  • Snob
  • Snooty
  • Snotty
  • Stuck up
  • Underhanded

Sexy Words are Powerful

My wife often censors my writing. She’s like a pumped up team of lawyers on acid or a screaming tornado of banshees and baby kissing politicians chanting “death to the liberals, death to freedom”. I can be a bit extreme.

But this isn’t to say that lust or a little hint of sexuality cannot or should not be used on your landing page or in your written copy. Sexy words are powerful and they can be a wonderful way to appeal to your visitor’s desires.

Here are a few examples of how sexy words are powerful:

  • Do you have the naughty urge to whip your conversion rates into shape?
  • BBW: Big Beautiful Website — Tantalising one prospect at a time.
  • Thrilling! Scandalous! Naughty! The Alpha Chimp Live and Uncensored.

So now that you know that sexy words are powerful, here’s a list that you can use to get your visitors to convert to paying customers:

  • Brazen
  • Crave
  • Depraved
  • Dirty
  • Exposed
  • Forbidden
  • Tease
  • Mischievous
  • Flirt
  • Wild
  • Passionate
  • Desire
  • Urge
  • Promiscuous
  • Hypnotic
  • Lascivious
  • Lick
  • Lonely
  • Lust
  • Naked
  • Naughty
  • Provocative
  • Scandalous
  • Sensual
  • Sex
  • Shameless
  • Sinful
  • Sleazy
  • Sleeping
  • Spank
  • Steamy
  • Sweaty
  • Tantalizing
  • Tawdry
  • Thrilling
  • Uncensored
  • Wanton
  • Whip

Attention-Grabbing Words Are Powerful

Drink twenty gallons of RedBull, play a round of shotgun golf with Iggy Pop and wash it all down with an illegal high of caffeine pills and an espresso from Hell.

Buzz faster than the speed of light. Let your mind cross dimensions, a trillion of your thoughts and feelings processed in a microsecond as you enter a state of hyper hypnosis.

Even then you’ll still struggle to think of anything more attention-grabbing than some of the words to follow.

But, a word of warning:

The Achilles Heel of heart pumping titles and energised phrases is too much exaggeration. If you’re over the top in how “jaw-dropping”, “spectacular” or “wondrous” your product or service is, then you’ll saturate the effectiveness of what you’re offering. You will force visitors to question your authenticity.

When you write the copy for your landing page, newsletter or whatever you’re working on, read it aloud. Pretend that you’re a suspicious member of the public gunning for a reason to critique everything you’ve written.

Here are a few examples of what I mean:

  • Prepare For A Mind-Blowing Miracle of Staggering Porportions! (Yeah, right…)
  • Super-Human Conversion Rates For A Jaw-Dropping Boost In Revenue (Prove it or I’m walking!)
  • Cheer Blissfully; GoGoChimp Triumphs Over Moz With A Legendary Victory (Why should I cheer? What’s so “Legendary” and why should I care?)

The easiest way to counterpunch any problems that visitors may have with your attention-grabbing headline is to use a sub-heading. This is a sure-fire way of making certain that your copy remains strong.

So now that you know that attention-grabbing words are powerful, here’s a list that you can use to get more leads or sales:

  • Amazing
  • Audacity
  • Awe-inspiring
  • Backbone
  • Belief
  • Blissful
  • Bold
  • Bonus
  • Bravery
  • Breathtaking
  • Cheer
  • Conquer
  • Courage
  • Daring
  • Defiance
  • Delight
  • Devoted
  • Enchant
  • Epic
  • Excited
  • Eye-opening
  • Faith
  • Fearless
  • Fulfill
  • Grateful
  • Grit
  • Guts
  • Happy
  • Heart
  • Hero
  • Hope
  • Jaw-dropping
  • Jubilant
  • Legendary
  • Magic
  • Mind-blowing
  • Miracle
  • Pluck
  • Remarkable
  • Sensational
  • Spectacular

  • Staggering

  • Super-human
  • Surprising
  • Triumph
  • Uplifting
  • Valor
