Five steps to building a virtual swipe file that can help you create winner

The number one problem people have when preparing a piece of advertising is knowing
what to say. This problem is so insidious it permeates businesses across the country.
Case in point...
A long time ago, I used to sell real estate. One day, while hiding in my cubicle, I
overheard a curious conversation. The office manager wanted to place a house ad in a
local paper. He was at a loss for words. He quite literally did not know what to say.
Exasperated by the situation, the office manager threw his hands up in the air. He then
told the secretary to write something – anything – and submit the ad pronto. I have
never forgotten that scene.
Once I learned how to write effective ads I realized how difficult it is for most people. But
it does not have to be. There are many reasons why writing ads is hard. In my opinion,
the number one reason is...
Yet, the easiest way to craft your own blockbuster ads is to find the current blockbusters
and simply model them.
Listen close: Modeling proven ads can as much as triple your chances of creating a
successful ad of your own. Not only that but it also eliminates writer’s block. And it
allows you to write more effective ads faster.
“Hey, why not use the old classics instead of new ones?”
Good question. And, of course, the answer is simple. You can use the old classics as
swipes. But you better be careful. Because what worked back then may not work as
well now. It’s a question of relevance. Times change. So does what works in
advertising. Timeless principles remain timeless. But they must be applied in new ways
to get the same impact and response.
Five or ten years ago, setting up a website would cost $2,000 to $5,000 or more. Now
you can put hundreds of websites up for a one time cost of $200 for specialized
software... and... about $50 for domain registration and hosting.

The point is this: Things change and you have to be on top of...
In any case, I’ve broken down the process of finding current online controls into five
easy steps. By the way, a control is the most responsive and highest profit pulling ad or
sales letter currently being used.
Here are the five steps and then we’ll dive into them one by one...
Step One: Get on the email lists of the top online direct response companies.
Step Two: Read their main site and ezines and click on the promotional links within.
Step Four: Do a Google search on each web address to find all the other ads and
sales letters.
Step Five: Repeat the above with each ezine in turn and build your online swipe file.
Step One
Get On The Email Lists Of
The Top Online Direct Response
Companies
The first thing you must do is find each of these top direct response companies. Then
do a Google search on each company. To get on their email list you simply opt in to the
ezines they offer either on their home page or specific landing pages for each ezine.
You won’t have to go through any stress or struggle because I’m going to give you a
few of the very best of the bunch below. They include...
Okay, there you have a starter list of massively successful direct response publishing
companies who hire the best copywriters in the world.

When you click on that link what comes up is a page with every single ezine Agora
publishes. Some of these ezines are published daily.
You enter your email and first name and check off all the ezines you want to receive.
Presto!
Again, it’s worth restating that these companies hire the best pen slingers in the world.
They often put their offline controls online too. And, again, a control is the best selling
ad or letter as determined by millions of dollars worth of scientifically run split tests.
A split test is where an ad is run against another ad to the same list to see which ad
pulls better results. Half the list gets letter “A”. Half the list gets letter “B”.
The one that pulls in the highest sales or return on investment is the winner.
So finding and modeling these letters is like having access to millions of dollars of
copywriting and marketing research. Agora, for example, is just one company. It does...
On their site, InvestorPlace.com, there is a sign up box for their free investment
newsletter, Investor Insights. Put in your first and last name and email and you’re in.
Weiss Research is a little more tricky. Because their main site is a portal to their other
websites. When you go to the main page they list all their sites. The one you want is
Money And Markets. Go to that page and sign up for their free newsletter.
“Seeded” Yourself On

sales letters. Getting seeded is just the beginning of the process. If that’s all you do
you’ll never access all the great online controls from each company.
Step Two
Read Their Main Site
And Ezines And Click On The
Promotional Links Within
So let’s look at what you get when you join Agora’s Daily Wealth ezine.
Note: There are no promotional links on Agora’s main site as of this writing. We’ll look at
their ezines instead.
First of all, Agora has a full time staff writing their ezines. Most focus on the stock
market and other investing opportunities. Within the main body of each ezine article
you’ll find a section that looks like this...
- - - - - - - - - - - Advertisement - - - - - - - - - - - -
I’m Pretty Sure This Will Shock You...
If you haven’t heard about this yet, you’re definitely missing out on some
tremendous opportunities.
Bingo!
A new window opens up with a sales letter. The headline for this letter is...
Besides the main ezine article, Daily Wealth also has at least one or two mini display
ads on the side of the ezine. Here’s one as an example...

________________________________
When you click on that link a sales letter comes up with this headline...
The other Agora ezines work the same way. There’s a lot of content and within that
content there are little display ads with links to sales letters. The same thing applies to
most of the other companies as well.
A big problem rears its ugly head with this approach of finding online controls. In a
nutshell, the problem is you’re limited to the available letters in the ezines. You don’t get
full access to ALL the sales letters online from each company. At least all the ones that
can be accessed.
Come closer and listen up: The key to finding similar sales letters as the ones in each
of these ezines is to go on to...
Step Three
Make A Note Of Each
Sales Letter Web Address
Here’s where things get exciting...

SWIPING FOR FUN AND PROFIT
While going through each of these various ezines click on the promotional links.
That will take you to the respective sales page. Look at the top of each page and you’ll
see the URL or web address of that page. Copy and paste it in a document. It’s
important to note you don’t have to copy and past the entire URL.
Each of these web pages is usually encrypted to protect consumers while they go
through the check out process. The only part of the URL we are interested in is the
part that...
Go back with me, if you will, to the first ezine ad I went over. The one that started out
with... “I’m Pretty Sure This Will Shock You”.
Remember that one? You do! I thought you would. Anyway, when I clicked on the link in
that ad the sales letter that popped up had this long URL...
http://www.stansberryresearch.com/pro/0901SHR1243K/ESHRK136...
The second ad – the one that talked about the 1-share millionaire – had this long URL...
http://www.stansberryresearch.com/pro/0901TWP1SM49/ETW...
Question: What part of each of these URL’s is similar? Because that’s the only part we
care about. That’s the only part that allows us to search the Internet for hundreds and
even thousands of similar letters.
That is the only part of both URL’s we need. Armed with this information we can now
rummage through the Internet and...
Follow along as I go through the same process for another ezine. How about Money
And Markets from Weiss Research?

Internal Sponsorship
President Obama’s #1 nightmare is
unfolding even as he takes the oath of office...
When you click on the link a sales page pops up. The interesting thing is that the URL of
the ezine is not the same as the URL of the sales page.
http://www.moneyandmarkets.com
http://www.images.moneyandmarkets.com/1229/...
The same thing holds true for other sales pages. Their URL’s always start with...
http://www.images.moneyandmarkets.com
You will have to go through each letter and note the common part of each sales page
URL. There is no shortcut to this process.
The great thing is, once you know the “root” of the sales page URL’s, you’re in
business.
12

Step Four
Do A Google Search On Each
Web Address To Find All The Other
Ads And Sales Letters
This is where the rubber meets the road.
Go to Google.com. In the search box you take one of the sales page URL’s and type in
the following search command...
site:stansberryresearch.com/pro
Click the search button and what you get is 82 web pages from the URL above. Not all
82 web pages are sales letters. But a lot of them are. In fact, here are a few of the
headlines...
How about doing a Google search for the Weiss Research letters? What will that
bring up? Let’s see...
site:images.moneyandmarkets.com
Oh, wait a second here! Only one search came up. There is a link that says...
When I click on this link 131 web pages from the above URL come up. Now that’s more
like it if you ask me. Not all of these web pages are sales letters. Here are a few of the
headlines from the ones that are...
13

Step Five
Repeat The Above With
Each Ezine In Turn And Build
Your Online Swipe File
You now know how to access millions of dollars worth of sales letters by the biggest and
most profitable online direct response companies. Simply follow Steps One through
Four and repeat this process with each ezine.
Also, for those company websites that do have links to sales letters on their main page,
make a note of those sales page URL’s. Then go through the process of doing a Google
search to find more sales letters and magalogs from that company.

At first glance, it seems like nothing more than words on paper. However, this report is
much more than that. It is, in fact, your secret intelligence blueprint for finding proven
online sales letters. Back in the day, when the Internet was only a figment of Al Gore’s
imagination, you’d have to pay hundreds of dollars to get “seeded” on the mailing lists of
the top direct response companies.
Even then you could not access all of the currently circulating top promotions. It was
simply impossible. Thanks to the Internet and the secrets of proper research you can
now tap into and collect...
I know from personal experience, as a direct response copywriter, how important having
a well-stocked swipe file is.
The possibilities are endless when you have access to these hot promotions.
Anyway, I wish you well and hope you use this new-found knowledge to craft killer sales
messages for your business or your clients.
Sincerely,
John Anghelache
