Turn headlines into quotes. Starting off your piece with a quote can make readers connect your copy with trustworthiness. This tactic works best with blog posts, case studies, and similar formats.
Example: “[Tool] helped me grow my business at scale by 10x!”

Words like mind-blowing, remarkable, easy, improved, tested, bargain, audit, and researched are all words that make your content more actionable and appealing.
Use sensory words. Similar to power words, sensory words “trigger” visuals, smells, sounds, and sensations in a reader’s brain.
Example: How to Turn Your Squeaky, Creaky Cabinets Into Smooth Operators.
Aaaand that’s it. Who’s ready for some biohacking?
