Do you keep a Swipe File?
Take 5 minutes to watch my video and I’ll tell you why you need to start keeping a swipe file. (For those of you who don’t know what a Swipe File is I’ll teach you that as well.
If you know of any good screen capture utilities post it below…

Hey Joel-
Another great resource. I also like to swipe good autoresponder messages, especially if they are in sequence. As a good email subject and message content is sometimes helpful as a template for building those autoresponder sequences.
cheers,
Lisa
Joel,
Great tip! I have used a folder for printed matter for years,but have not done one for the internet.
Getting one set up for the internet immediately!
They really come in handy when you need an idea to getting you creative juices flowing.
Joel,
Great idea. There is just so much info
out there that it is hard to keep the real good
stuff from the garbage.
Thanks for all the great s”stuff ” you provide us.
Great tip Joel. Thanks
Used to use one offline I use Google Docs as a handy way to do this now which I can share with colleagues
Joel,
Totally, don’t know what’d do without my swipe files. Especially, when it comes to copy-writing. I use snagit too!
Great content as per usual. BTW, I bought your mini site course and it’s rocks!
I prefer Jing by TechSmith (the same folks who make SnagIt and Camtasia). It captures screen images and short screencasts, like a mini-Camtasia.
There is a free software called CutePDF that will capture it in a .PDF file and then you can store in a folder and view them anytime on your screen.
