Create a Swipe File for Future Marketing Ideas

There’s nothing worse than staring at a blank page and trying to come up with some new creative marketing ideas. That’s why I suggest that you create a swipe file of marketing ideas. You have to have one of these, they save you so much time. What is a swipe file? It’s an electronic library and written published library of ads you’ve seen that get your attention and compel you to respond or others around you to respond in the perfect way that ad is positioned to do.

I created a swipe file of creative marketing ideas years ago. My attorney even knows I keep a swipe file and sets things aside for me from time to time. He has added a lot to my swipe file because he’s kept certain things over the years that impressed him as marketing pieces. And, of course, I was able to take those, use them, massage them into something else and start making money for our company. I highly recommend that you create your own swipe file of marketing ideas.

What are some cool ways that you can start your own swipe file today? Well, my marketing knowledge, when I first got started, the curiosity if you will or the wow factor of, man that’s what I want to do is be a copywriter, a marketing consultant, it came from a guy who positioned himself as the greatest copywriter in the world. In a field of big egos in copywriting, for a long time, no one questioned this gentleman on being the best in the world, which really says something.

Unfortunately, he died before I could thank him in person for the pieces of information and encouragement he gave me, but one good thing about him passing away is that someone in his family or center of influence decided that most of the stuff he had for sale should be given away for free.

For anyone interested in copywriting, search for “The Gary Halbert Letters” online. You’ll find an archive of 20 years worth of marketing newsletters, promos, etc. that he used along with some great swipe file nuggets. Is it organized the way we’d like? No. Are you going to have to wade through a lot? Yes. Are you going to be annoyed sometimes with his attitude about writing about how he’s the best, he knew it so he doesn’t need to impress you? Yes. Will his newsletters be great for someone like you looking to create a swipe file of marketing ideas? You bet!

Another resource for swipe file information is the Robert Collier Letter Book. (Good luck trying to find a copy for sale for less than a couple hundred bucks since it’s out of print). If you find one for sale for less than $100 grab it up, it’s a good investment. It’s a published book of winning ads that he put together to use from different marketers.

I hope that you will begin to create a swipe file of marketing idea right away. You always want to be keeping an eye out for great marketing pieces. The resources I’ve shared with you in this article are a great place to start!

Where To Find Affiliate Marketing Ideas

One problem that affiliate marketers face is what products they are going to sell. Once they become sold on the idea of affiliate marketing they need to find a product and get it online so they can make money. In this article let's talk about a couple places you can go for affiliate marketing ideas.

One stumbling block that all affiliate marketers face at one time or another is what product should they sell. When they decide that affiliate marketing is the business for them they must find a product to market so they can begin to make money. Today I am going to be your guide on where you can go to find affiliate marketing ideas.


1. Discussion forums offer an excellent place to come up with ideas on products to sell as an affiliate marketer. The Internet Marketing Warriors is an excellent place to get ideas. Visit the free Warrior Forum and you can get a lot of very useful information.

Participation in the discussions is not required to get some really good affiliate marketing ideas. You can just go online and start reading some of the various discussions that are taking place.

One thing you will notice is the signature file that is placed below every forum post. Their signature will almost always have a link to the product or affiliate program that they are currently involved with.

One thing you can do is look at the number of posts that a person has made to get an idea about their credibility. Pay close attention to the signature below their post to see what they may be promoting.

 It stands to reason that this person is probably making money online and it might be a way for you to find an affiliate marketing idea. You might even be able to find a specific product to promote.


2. Another idea is to do a Google search for the phrase affiliate marketing ideas. When you do this you're going to see millions of results that come up. You can start at the top and begin working your way down the list until you come up with a few ideas that appeal to you.

You may as well join the millions of consumers who use the search engines as the main way of finding information. You really only need a couple of good ideas to make money as an affiliate marketer.

3. One final thing you can do that really is easy is just open up your eyes and look around at what is going on. In the newspaper you'll see ads for products and you'll see the same thing on TV. This doesn't mean that you necessarily have to sell cars, or other products you see being advertised.

This can help you narrow down the list of potential niches you may want to become involved with. For example niches that are always popular and contain excellent affiliate marketing ideas are sports such as golf, health, diets, work at home, and so on.
