Trigger words can deliver better organic traffic result for your content writing<\/h2>\n

Power words, emotive words or trigger words all mean the same thing.<\/p>\n

By whatever term, it is an ancient marketing tool to use\u00a0words and phrases that produce an\u00a0emotional response.<\/p>\n

You can almost imagine\u00a0a stonemason in biblical times with an advertising stone outside his door saying, \u201cbuy nine tablets, get one free.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing much has changed, even with the enormous advances in technology. From the chisel to the Internet, people are still emotive and react to certain powerful words more than others.<\/p>\n

Trigger words should not be confused with clickbait.<\/p>\n

Most trigger words are short, simple, everyday words that\u00a0you include in a headline, article title or body text to add appeal.<\/p>\n

Clickbait, on the other hand, is a phrase intended to attract and lure people. It rarely has much relevance to the content and is commonly used in email scams, phishing and hard-sell marketing.<\/p>\n

In blog posts and content writing, Google is very good at differentiating between the two.<\/p>\n

The difference between, \u201cum yeah, okay\u201d and \u201coh, that looks interesting.\u201d<\/h3>\n

Whether it is an article on a blog or a social media post, certain words and word combinations can produce an\u00a0emotional trigger.<\/p>\n

The most obvious word is\u00a0free<\/strong>. There is no need to conduct an expensive case study or prove what studies have shown to know that adding the word free<\/strong> to any product or noun creates immediate interest.<\/p>\n

Free is used so much that I have not included it in my list below of useful trigger words.<\/p>\n

But it is interesting to note that when free is used as an adjective to mean to act as one wishes or not under the control of another<\/strong>, it loses its effectiveness.<\/p>\n

It is only when free<\/strong> is used as an adjective or adverb\u00a0to mean\u00a0without cost or payment<\/strong> that it has emotive marketing power.<\/p>\n

You might be a great writer, but when you create content, you want people to read it. But attracting readers, and Google\u2019s crawlers is not always guaranteed just because you write a brilliant 2,000-word article.<\/p>\n

If you have a weak title or the first few sentences do not get directly to the point it will result in a poor Google SERP. (Search Engine\u00a0Ranking Position)<\/p>\n

A little re-writing can often\u00a0make all the difference. But pay attention and make sure you do a full grammar check when you add to and edit existing content.<\/p>\n

You might only need to add some basic trigger words to your 2,000-word article because they can really help you improve your interest factor.<\/p>\n

Nine of the most powerful trigger words<\/h3>\n

I could produce a list of hundreds of emotive words for you that are used in\u00a0content marketing today.<\/p>\n

Many\u00a0marketers use them with a call to action, or to appeal to a specific target market. That is all too complicated for me.<\/p>\n

I can recommend by favourite nine words because they can help you make your\u00a0headlines and content more compelling, without much effort at all.<\/p>\n

The examples below will show you how easy it is.<\/p>\n

1. YOU<\/h3>\n

Without a doubt, you<\/strong> is the most powerful word in my list. Your<\/strong> is almost as powerful.<\/p>\n

You can use it in your headlines, blog titles and your text. All you need to do is keep thinking you are helping someone.<\/p>\n

If you get into the habit of writing in the second person, you will find that your content will find more readers and you will get more organic traffic.<\/p>\n

Using\u00a0you<\/strong> means that you are engaging your readers by talking to them directly, almost one on one.<\/p>\n

If you write for you, you, you and not me, me, me, or I, I, I, you will notice a difference in a very short time.<\/p>\n

2. THE<\/h3>\n

Never use \u2018a\u2019 or \u2018an\u2019 or \u2018one\u2019 when you can use the<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The is definitive and is not promoting a range of possibilities. The<\/strong> clarifies thinking and avoids confusion.<\/p>\n

It is always used with the superlative, so it is natural to write the best, the worst or the happiest.<\/p>\n

But you can use the<\/strong> to express that there is no better alternative or solution.<\/p>\n

Fantastic:\u00a0Here is the way to improve your Google traffic<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3. EASY<\/h3>\n

No one wants anything that is difficult. It is as easy<\/strong> as that.<\/p>\n

Never express difficulty as it is an immediate turnoff.<\/p>\n

Give people easy ideas and options.<\/p>\n

4. SIMPLE<\/h3>\n

It is a temptation to combine easy and simple<\/strong>. 10 easy and simple ways to use power words.<\/em><\/p>\n

But sometimes, too much of a good thing is just too much. Use only one, and choose the best one depending on your context.<\/p>\n

5. MORE<\/h3>\n

Everyone wants more<\/strong>. It is a simple word that has a very strong emotional appeal.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is add it where you want to express further or better, or that something is not yet completed or finished.<\/p>\n

It can also be used to indicate expectation, as in, but wait, there is more to come.<\/p>\n

More can also be used to extend the value of an existing article that is getting good traffic by writing a follow-up post. Five more<\/strong> reasons to by an iPhone.<\/p>\n

Poor: How to increase your blog traffic<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

6. NEW<\/h3>\n

An oldie but a goodie. Who reacts to words related to old ideas and remedies?<\/p>\n

Anything that is new<\/strong> has much more appeal. If you are writing articles and content, you are producing something that is totally new, so there is no reason to stop you from saying so.<\/p>\n

7. PROVEN<\/h3>\n

This word in a bit gimmicky, but used in moderation it has been proven<\/strong> to be successful in validating\u00a0a premise or argument.<\/p>\n

I do not use it very much at all, but when it is appropriate, it can help you create a sense of validated proof if you use it as an adjective and not a verb.<\/p>\n

Poor: Useful ways you can use compost in your garden.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Fantastic:\u00a0Proven practices for using compost in your garden<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

8. IF<\/h3>\n

You can only use if<\/strong> in a conditional phrase. But conditional grammar structures can make for very long headlines and titles.<\/p>\n

On top of that, conditionals can express vague ideas of a wish or dream, a possible future outcome, or a hypothetical past.<\/p>\n

The best way to use if<\/strong>\u00a0is only in the zero conditional form, which says that something is always true.<\/p>\n

Compare: If I could write better I would get more readers.\u00a0<\/strong>It is a wish, hope or dream.<\/p>\n

With: If you write better, you get more readers.\u00a0<\/strong>It is always going to happen.<\/p>\n

Using a zero conditional is a great way to tell people what the result will be, and not what it could or would be.<\/p>\n

Poor: What would you do if you wrote a bestselling novel<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Fantastic:\u00a0If you write a bestselling novel, what do you do?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

9. IMAGINE<\/h3>\n

The word imagine<\/strong> solves the problem with if in long conditionals.<\/p>\n

If you want to express a dream, wish or hope, imagine<\/strong> is quick and immediately connects with people\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n

Used sparingly it can have a positive effect in articles that relate to holidays, retirement or investing for example.<\/p>\n

Poor: Have you thought about going to Fiji for your next holiday?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Fantastic:\u00a0Imagine lying on a beach in Fiji for your next holiday.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

This is certainly not a definitive list of the best trigger words.<\/p>\n

There are many that I could have included such as secret, superb, instant, convert or never to name just a few.<\/p>\n

But my nine simple words are ones that you can use for almost any type of blog post or article. They are not at all restricted to content marketing articles.<\/p>\n

You can test the words by using a headline analyser, or if you have access, use your SEO keyword analysis tools.<\/p>\n

The best thing about these nine simple words is that not only can you use them in your new articles and blog posts, but you can improve your old posts without much effort at all. It does not take a long time to add one word.<\/p>\n

It is the<\/strong> easy<\/strong><\/span> and proven<\/strong><\/span> way you<\/strong><\/span> can get more<\/strong><\/span> traffic to your<\/strong><\/span> blog.<\/p>\n

Imagine<\/strong> the<\/strong><\/span> difference it will make to your<\/strong><\/span> blog traffic and social media shares.<\/p>\n
