how to sort swipe file

[GetStuffDone]

So we have ...

copywriters...past and present

digital and dm

offers, headlines, bullets, order forms

long copy , short copy

books, articles and sl

The question how do you sort all this ?

And we have different markerts

And we have swiped file collection and liblaries

Sold and free

Complilations of thousands of headlines

Tamplates

Check lists

And hundrends of thousands of emails

VSL

And content copy

How the hell do you sort this all out?

I tried a couple of times but pretty soon it turnes in a monster with hundrends of heads

So any practical tips are highly welcomed.

When in doubt, go alphabetical. I like to sort by marketer/company, myself. So everything Gary Halbert would be in the Gary Halbert master file. Then once I had everything sorted by marketer/company, I could go in and sort each master file down by medium. I always divide end up dividing into audio, books, courses, vidoes, and webpages. So each master file is broken down into those smaller subfolders. It's the easiest way for me to find things. :)

MoneyMaven@ I was doing just like that but then it became a monster

Yeah, when you have a monstrous amount of content, it happens. You could divvy stuff up by flash drives/cloud drives. Have A-C in one location, D-F in another. Then just keep a master list so you know where everything is located. I use my email drafts folder to store lists like that, so I don't lose it. Having it all scattered might not be what you want. I know when I try that I always end up moving it all back into one place. But if you were finding the amount of content overwhelming, just keeping the stuff you really need all together, then archiving away everything else could help. You probably have a lot of repetition in that swipe folder. :)

I had the same problem too. I started to organize them with the copywriter's names but I always find really good and interesting copies that you don't find the writer's name so I save them to 'unknown' folder and it became overwhelming.

So I organize the folders with the types of swipes with subdirectories, for example (Health -> Landing Pages -> Long Copy -> Gary Halbert -If you have too many swipe files ).

It takes time but I can assure you that this the easiest way to find your swipes.
