The AEDB formula.  (A= attention, E= emotion, D= desire, B= benefit)

Use bold words and odd numbers, ” now what could the top 3 be? ” or even ” The top 10 “. From time to time try to off balance your audience by being controversial like, ” 7 ways to get your Pit bull and cat to become best friends”

2. Emotion and Desire. Powerful driving forces, so use words to match.
