Question words are trigger words. To persuade or enable someone to read your text, either use these words or numbers (more about them later) but try not to use them together.

Marketing experts know that they are never selling products, they are always selling the emotions that those products will provoke. Have that in mind when creating the title for your project and use emotional trigger words, descriptive adjectives that will explain your projects and how serious it is. For example: Effortless Painstaking, Fun, Free, Incredible, Essential, Absolute, Strange. The best words that we would suggest are: AMAZING, EXCLUSIVE, and NEW. They will bring you the biggest audience.

Numbers are the biggest triggers, always have been and the reason behind it is pretty simple and psychological, people love lists. Numbers are quantifiable, offer variety, and establish value in the same way as currency does. The thing to be careful about is not to use too big numbers, 5 is good, 3 is better, 10 works, do not overdo it. Try to remember that we all remember 3 to 5 things. Numbers will give your readers concrete takeaways and catch their attention. You can write something like 3 ways you can impact the future of oceans or for this post 3 ways to create a catchy title.
