What is a content swipe file?
A swipe file is a collection of writing examples. These examples can be anything you might find useful. Professional writers use swipe files to inspire their content and improve their skills. Or, in other words, a great way for you to find inspiration without having to reinvent the wheel each time.
The purpose of a swipe file is to study techniques and templates – not just to copy and paste content into your work.
