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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Guide to Good Copy, 16 May 2006
As a web developer I spend a great deal of time thinking about page design. It has taken some time to get around to thinking about the copy I place in between the nice graphics. Veloso takes you through the basic structure of good copy and some of the theory of what makes copy work with good examples. I didn't buy all the tips, but overall it made me think about my site and how I structure the words on the page in addition to the graphical elements.

A good read for anyone wanting to produce more effective copy.
