Maria is widely acknowledged as the leading expert in web copywriting and one of the most sought-after specialists of web traffic conversion in the industry.  Clients and fellow copywriters have dubbed her as the "killer copywriter" and "the best-kept copywriting secret on the Web."  [See testimonials below.]

Through her signature model of web copywriting, she has sold several million dollars' worth of products and services for her online clients -- sometimes selling a few thousand copies of a book in a single day; $18,000 worth of e-classes in 2 days; or $1 million in private label services in 4 days.  Through the sheer power of web copy, she has sold everything from consumable products to software to information products.

Maria Veloso started
her copywriting career in 1977 when she worked as an Advertising Copywriter for a subsidiary of the famed Ogilvy and Mather. Over the past 3 decades, she has covered the full spectrum of copywriting -- including catalog copy, direct-mail copy, sales brochures, advertorials, newsletters, marketing communications and press releases.

In 1996, when the World Wide Web was just beginning to gain popularity, she started specializing in what has recently emerged as one of the hottest professions on the Internet -- web copywriting.  Her
most recent designation was that of Director of Creative Web Writing for Aesop Marketing Corporation (a major Internet marketing company spearheaded by Mark Joyner), where she was involved not only in writing web copy, but also in scientific marketing, ad tracking and market testing. Because of her extensive background, she has come to know exactly what works and what doesn't work on the Internet -- and this has been the basis for the development of her signature brandof direct-response web copywriting.

In 2002, she founded WebCopywritingUniversity.com, where she trains and certifies entrepreneurs and writers in the art of writing website sales copy and marketing communications that sell.

“Maria Veloso has been a speaker at 3 of my tele-seminars, and she never fails to give hard-hitting information that my attendees absolutely love.  She consistently overdelivers on content she promises to provide.  Each time she speaks, I receive enthusiastic feedback from attendees raving about her brilliant mind, her innovative marketing ideas -- and how much they appreciate my having her as a speaker.  I can’t recommend her highly enough.” – Joel Christopher, Master List Builder, Publisher of Access-2-Success Ezine

"
I attended Maria Veloso's seminar in Long Beach, and I just wanted to say what an incredible session that was!  Maria is truly a subject matter expert and a wealth of information.  As someone who has done a lot of public speaking myself, I have to say that was an extremely powerful and well-delivered presentation."
