According to many sources, using the word "because" is considered
to be one of the most effective words in copywriting.
Also, using words that end in "ly" are very powerful. Words like "incredibly",
"simply", "amazingly", "powerfully", etc.
Also, using actual NUMBERS in your titles works very well. For instance,
"9 Simple Ways To Get More Traffic", "How To Triple Your Sales In 24 Hours", etc.
Hope that helps . . .

Try not to use the word "cheap" because people may think it's a bad product even though they know it's intention was to mean lower priced than others. I always use the word "affordable".
Also, if you end your prices with a 7 instead of a 9 or 0 then you will most likely see an increase in sales.

Some Wafo experience on pricing there !
Dead right though never use "cheap" visualise the psychology of words..your words draw a picture in the readers mind....you dont want them thinking "cheap" you want them thinking "great value"}{"Special offer"}{"limited offer" etc

Wouldn't something like "Buy this product or I will kill your family" do anything?
You here again...
Why did you not say...
"Buy this product or I will make you watch Liverpool FC"

I think that might work. We would need to do some split testing with that and "I have your family hostage, buy this product and they'll go free" haha

If I may add, not rounding off the numbers also help. Ex.: instead of "Earn $12,000 in 3 Weeks", something along the lines of "Earn $11,798.74 In 18 Days" would be more convincing and realistic to the reader.

The use of non rounded up numbers is also a good strategy to employ when you are giving estimates for work.
If you tell a client that the job will cost $1500 it sounds like you are pulling numbers out of the air. If you tell them it will come to $1544.25 (for example) it sounds like you pulled out a notepad and calculator and came up with a proper estimate.

Thank you for sharing. Might be useful. Are there any other trigger words aside from these?
One way to improve the quality of your content is to improve its readability so your readers can read and understand the words easily. Some of my suggestions is to actually use numbers compared to spelling them out (i.e., 1,000 and one thousand) and to use words that are shorter, easier to understand, and more common. For example, you can use the word hard as substitute to difficult. Make your content easy to scan and skim because we all know that most online readers don't read the whole thing. You can achieve this by using headings and subheadings.

"Instantly", "immediately", "in no time" and similar words have been working good for me.
Take a good piece of copy and I can almost bet they will have instantly (or something of the same meaning in it) several times.
