Power Words Copywriting Project
Curiosity
Before: “Learn how to save money on groceries.”
After: “Discover the grocery hacks supermarkets don’t want you to know.”
Why it works: “Discover” and the phrase “don’t want you to know” evoke curiosity by hinting at secret knowledge, making it impossible to scroll past.
Excitement
Before: “Check out our summer sale.”
After: “Dive into our sizzling summer sale now!”
Why it works: “Sizzling” injects energy and seasonal flair, while “dive into” adds an action-driven punch that makes it feel like an experience.
Trust
Before: “We provide accounting services.”
After: “Join hundreds of clients who trust us with their finances.”
Why it works: Social proof builds credibility. “Trust us” and “hundreds of clients” reassure the reader that they’re in good hands.
Urgency
Before: “Book your free consultation.”
After: “Last chance: book your free consultation before slots run out.”
Why it works: “Last chance” and “before slots run out” create a ticking clock, encouraging immediate action before it’s too late.
Motivating
Before: “Improve your resume with our help.”
After: “Transform your resume. Land the job you deserve.”
Why it works: “Transform” suggests a powerful change, while “you deserve” taps into the reader’s self-worth and ambition.
Sensory
Before: “Try our new artisan coffee.”
After: “Savor our new artisan coffee's bold, velvety taste.”
Why it works: “Bold” and “velvety” speak directly to the senses, letting the reader practically taste the richness before even taking a sip.
