3 psychology tricks to make every headline better

3 psychology tricks to make every headline better

Headlines are powerful.

But if you can write headlines that tap into human psychology AND trigger instant emotional reactions? That's when the magic happens.

Why? Because psychology-driven headlines don't just catch attention—they command it. Most headlines get ignored in the endless scroll, but add these 3 psychological triggers and watch your click-through rates soar by up to 500%.

Let me show you 3 psychology tricks that'll transform your bland headlines into scroll-stopping machines.

The Curiosity Gap

Ever notice how you can't help but click when something leaves you hanging?

That's the curiosity gap at work. It's like an itch your brain HAS to scratch.

Example: "The One LinkedIn Mistake That's Killing Your Reach (And You're Making It Daily)"

See what I did there? Your brain won't rest until it knows what that mistake is.

The Power of Numbers

Our brains are wired to love numbers.

But here's the twist - odd numbers outperform even ones.

Why? They feel more authentic, less rounded-up.

"7 Writing Habits That Doubled My Income" hits different than "6 Writing Habits That Doubled My Income"

Emotional Triggers

Facts tell, emotions SELL.

Mix in words like:

? "Secret"

? "Insider"

? "Hidden"

? "Finally"

And watch your headlines transform from meh to magnetic.

Pro tip: Combine all three tricks for headlines that practically write viral checks.
