A good headline:

Boosts credibility by including facts and number
Avoids exceeding 40-70 characters when creating an add
Talks a bit casually and use action terms like save, get, do and learn
Employ unique visual art
It is a no-brainer that pictures communicate faster than words, and research studies actually prove that. It is especially true when we talk in the context of ads. The main objective of ads is to communicate most in the least time without compromising on the message or impact. Right visuals can help you a great way in achieving this objective.
Just like copied or spun content, the stock and free photos give a bland, unimpressive look to your ad and the audiences generally scroll past it. As these stock photos are available for free, a majority of publishers and advertisers may have already used them for many times and on different platform which make them loose their uniqueness. Moreover, these photos generally lack the fine details and unique colour chemistry. So, consider investing in ad-designing. You can either tell your in-house graphic designer to design the advertisement banners/visuals or alternatively you can hire one thorough the sites like Fiverr or freelancer where you can get good talent at reasonable prices.
Do some R&D on your competitors and similar ads to get an inspiration on the colours, designs and overall presentation of the graphics to leave a definite impact on the audiences.
Write unique copy
Write a high impact copy that compels people to click on the link. Keep in mind that people won’t read your content during the first interaction. The will read the ad copy which means the better quality of ad copy increases the probabilities of your content being clicked.
Here are a few things to keep in mind
Facts and testimonials increase credibility.
Engage people’s attention by asking questions
Provide solution to various common problems.
Show the next step by using clear call buttons
Write headlines that directly connect with the user’s intention
Conclusion
