each and every piece of quality sales copy you happen to find.

Every copywriter worth their salt has a swipe file, a folder (or folders) stuffed with headlines, sales copy examples, and advertising ideas in general. Then, when it comes time to write something, they merely breeze through the material and pull out what works best for a particular ad campaign.

No matter where you go or who the source might be, the advice is still the same. You can't make a sale without benefit of *killer* content (otherwise known as sales copy).

Unfortunately, for most individuals, meeting this criteria is much easier said than done. After all, not everyone is blessed with the ability to write well, let alone establish content that's geared toward advertising genius.

So... if the only way to guarantee sales is to use killer copy, and you don't happen to possess that level of writing ability, what alternative does the average webmaster have?

The obvious choice, of course, is to simply hire a professional copywriter. Needless to say, we're talking major expense here so let's just forget that one. And assuming you don't have some close friend or family member that writes for a living and is willing to donate their expertise to you free of charge, two choices remain.

1. Find some way of writing the sales copy yourself.

2. Don't even worry about it and let the chips (or potential buyers) fall where they may.

Since the latter choice is totally unacceptable, let's roll up our sleeves and see what it takes to transform a non-writer into the necessary advertising genius.

The first priority is to swipe good copy.

And before you ask, no one's suggesting you go out and steal someone else's hard word. At best, it's immoral to do so, at worse, it's downright illegal.

Instead, the word "swipe" refers to developing a file that contains each and every piece of quality sales copy you happen to find.

Naturally, the more information contained in your swipe file, the easier the chore of putting together the entire sales content. So now the question is, where do you begin?

Start by checking out websites owned by top Internet marketers, more specifically, the pages where they're promoting a specific product. Pay close attention to how they present their sales copy, how they skillfully lead the viewer to the order button.

If you run across a headline or an ad in a newspaper or magazine that not only grabs your attention but compels you to make a purchase as well, make certain you add it to your swipe file.

Once you've collected a good assortment, take a closer look at what prompted you to add them to your file in the first place. Regardless of whether it was the headline, the copy in general, or the basic format, see if you can determine exactly why it was so effective.

Choose the methods that made the most impact and then use those same techniques in your own sales content. Keep in mind, most successful (and high-priced) copywriters didn't start out creating genius ad campaigns and neither will you.

The only way to learn how to write well is to write and then write some more. If you start by using material taken directly from your swipe file, practice re-writing it to suit your own product or service, you'll eventually reach the point where you can simply create original content on your own.

And since the ultimate content you create will have been based on proven, professio
