For example, you may be selling a wildlife camera, but the big idea is: "You've got more neighbours than you think". Avoid headlines that only provoke curiosity. Tease ONE little known (BUT interesting) emotion, idea or physical sensation of of using your product. Then let your sub-headline clarify the BIG claim.
Because you want to generate empathy. So add lil more fuego to the pain dramatized in the headline. Write from the consumer’s perspective. Avoid jargon. Write with your ears, use the same language your target audience uses. And position your product as the obvious solution to their problem.
The ONE BIG REASON to buy your product. Be specific and convince the reader why your product delivers the promised benefit. This should be an emotional benefit like, "how does this product make me feel or look?".

And also prove them in some way that your product does what you say it does. This benefit is not as big as your number ONE benefit, but it is reason enough to persuade the reader to buy your product. This should be a functional and specific benefit. Like, "saves you $1,040/year", "Saves You 10 Hours a Week", "Lose 40 Pounds in 30 Days", "Learn how to code in 12 weeks." These are just examples, but you get the point.

This should be a benefit to the consumer based on a product feature or a physical characteristic that makes your product special. Highlight specifics— facts, special features or anything the reader needs to know to make a decision. Remember this: In 2001, when Steve Jobs introduced the first iPod to the World, he didn't pull it out of his jeans pocket and say, "The iPod. A 5GB MP3 player". He said, "The iPod. 1,000 songs in your pocket."
