We’ve pulled together our top 10 words to use in your content …

  2. Instant: Time is precious so offering something right away is much more appealing
  3. Easy: Keep it simple and make your audiences life easier
  4. You: Speak to your audience not about yourself!
  5. Secret: There are always secrets to success, and we all want to know them
  6. Act now: Encourage an action or an immediate response. (Limited offers are good here)
