3.0 out of 5 stars Basic points good, but too smarmy, 1 Aug 2006

By	Rachel DuBois "Web Designer" (Orkney Islands, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Maria Veloso's 5 Step Blueprint for writing good web copy were very helpful, but ALL of the examples she provided of good copy completely turned me off (is it any surprise, with such URLs as "wordsthatmakeyourich.com" and tactics used car salesmen employ).

Maybe they do work, but I'd never use them for my own copy because I would expect our target audience to see through such blatant sales tactics ("Doesn't it make you furious that you could actually be making five times as much from your existing business-if only you knew how?").

So I caution those business owners who feel this style of writing may not be appropriate for them. I do think there are things of value, but it's not right for everyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars A mixed blessing., 22 Nov 2007

By	T. Smith - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ok - you're definitely going to get something out of this book that will help you with your web copy or other marketing blurb. For example I'm using contractions here like "you're" instead of "you are" for the first time, and no doubt you're finding it a pleasant read, right?

If you're selling what I call "dream come true" products or services like loose-weight-in-x-number-of-days, or increase-your-sales-by-X% etc, then Maria Veloso is the guide you need, and her book will be perfect. If you're selling a product that requires a more conservative style, or to a customer base that is turned off by such marketing, then in my opinion you'll get less out of this book. Almost all the examples appear to me to be of the, slim quick/how I made my first $15m/Masters Degree in 18months style. I believe however, that the theory in the book - and there's lots of it -is more widely useful.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book should be marked as 'Spam'!, 7 April 2009

By	Mr. J. W. Richards - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The contents table, cover and reviews convinced me to buy this book. I am returning it after reading it for only 10 minutes.

All the examples in this book describe marketing that the rest of us know as 'spam' -- suggested subjects for e-mails are "This is barely legal" and "Dinner is on me ..." and something like "Did I forget to send you this?"... the author then goes on to suggest that perhaps this is misleading as the e-mail looks personal when it is not, but seems to argue her cause by saying marketing *should* be personal... ?!

Examples cited are weight loss adverts, and those awful "Keep reading this, I promise in a minute I am going to reveal my secret..." c*ap.

The kind of marketing this book encourages are precisely the kind of marketing that e-mail services such as Gmail spend a lot of time identifying and marking as 'spam'.

My advice, do not buy this book, unless you have some morbid fascination in spam, or want to track down the author and inspiration behind probably 1000 unwanted emails in your inbox over the past month, and ask her to personally delete each one. Yes there is a picture of her, and she lives in LA.

No hard feelings to the Author.
