Do you have a swipe file?
Everyone who creates content online, or who sells, markets or promotes products, digital and real ones, and/or engages audiences online should have one.
A swipe file is a collection of tested and proven advertising and sales letters. Keeping a swipe file (templates) is a common practice used by advertising copywriters and creative directors as a ready reference of ideas for projects.
Did you know you could use Instagram as a swipe file in order to get ideas from your competitors or other people in your field who are doing an excellent job on that popular social media image sharing site?
I show you how in this YouTube video!
