I'm looking to purchase an online or CD course on copywriting. There's a number out there and I'm not sure which one to go for.

There's Yanik Silver's. Yanik's got a great reputation - and he's been kind enough to contribute to an ebook I've got coming out shortly - so I'm kinda tempted.

But then there's Maria Veloso's course. She favours the advertorial style copy and according to her research this gives better response rates than standard 'sales letter' style copy. But I don't see this style used often except for Nitro Marketing.

And are there any courses that critique the copy I'd produce? Any courses with exercises to complete?

Breakthrough Copywriting. You get David Garfinkel, Michel Fortin and more.

Best course I've seen.

I will say that I do like Maria Veloso's style. If you could combine this with great article writing skills, you'd have a longer-lasting, SE spider grabbing copy (instead of the "get it now", "one day special" marketer copy you see much of today).

Here's a thread to read on what other courses are available if you haven't already done so.
