## Power Word Placement
|
|
|
|

|
|
|----------|----------------|

## Usage Tips
|
|
|
|
1. **Don't overuse** — 1-2 power words per headline
|
|
2. **Match context** — urgency for sales, curiosity for content
|
|
3. **A/B test** — what works for one audience may not for another
|
|
4. **Be authentic** — false urgency/exclusivity backfires
|
|
5. **Combine strategically** — pair urgency with value
