Copywriting Power Words Every Affiliate Marketer Should Know

-



Affiliate marketing is all about persuasion. Power words give you the art of persuasion in something as short as a headline, and knowing just a few words will transform your marketing. 

Anyone who makes money online must train themselves in power words – writers, social media mavens, savvy marketers, the list goes on. Copywriting is the voice of sales and conversions, and your job as a marketer is to hone that voice to perfection. 

Copywriting power words = conversions, and mastering just a few power words will mean the difference between a sale and an empty cart. We’ll teach you a few power words that will help your copy stand out no matter where you put it!

What Are Power Words?

Power words are words (and phrases) that elicit a response in your target audience. They are the words that will encourage action from your audience. Depending on how well you use them, these words can garner a specific emotion or response from even the most online-savvy customer.

Whether you know it or not, you’re used to power words. You see them in everything from your cereal boxes to your shopping bags. You see them in headlines and copy of all shapes and forms. In a headline that reads, “Your Mouth Will Drop When You See This Astounding Product,” for instance, Your and Astounding are power words. 

Who Are You Talking To?

All the content you create should be geared towards moving your target audience to a specific action. That means knowing your target audience! What do your customers believe in? What do they consistently align themselves with, and what moves them? Speak to your audience in a comfortable (not cringy) way, and bring up emotional connections that will snag their interest. 

What moves your audience to action? Do they respond well to straightforward stats, or are they more interested in anecdotes and stories? Are they looking for a human connection? Or are they looking for the next cool thing, something modern, something new? The way you approach your marketing copy should fit directly into what the audience is looking for, and the power words you choose should reflect that.

Power Words That Work for Affiliate Marketing

As an affiliate marketer, you are in a constant battle between two goals: Build trust and look knowledgeable. The right words will help you gain both without a ton of work.

Every word you write should be in the service of your readers. What are you trying to get them to do, and what benefit will they get from it?

With all of that said, here’s a small list of power words (there are plenty) to start your copywriting journey:

  • Because
  • You
  • Free

These are the five most persuasive words in the English language, and you should use them. They’ve been researched, tested, and proven to work.

Use comparable words to convince leads that your downloads, guides, and videos are perfect for any level of experience.

Conclusion

There are so many more power words that you can learn and perfect in your affiliate marketing journey. Test out phrases as much as you can. What doesn’t work in one area could prove to be a powerhouse in the next, and you won’t know until you try. 

In your journey as an affiliate marketer, the words you choose can make or break you. Pick the right words to build trust and loyalty in your audience, and you’ll go far.

Anne Hathaway, Olivia Wilde, Emma Thompson and others ... the brightest stars who have been excluded from acting because of their age. Some even did not reach the age of 30. It is no secret that aging is an obsession, fear and loss of life, and a dilemma that affects a large part of the world's population, but movie stars are the biggest victims.  Although time is changing, the fact is that we still have a long way to go to prevent high standards of beauty and stereotypes from harming actresses as they age, noticing how their job offerings begin to decline. Stars who have been rejected for not being "young enough" suggest that, unlike their male counterparts, barriers to career development begin to emerge at a very young age.
