    These are normally built up as you go along as a DIY job. The problem
    with distributing swipe files is that you might be in breach of copyright.

      Strange, they're so many swipe files to aide with copy writing, but none for articles. I'm one of the many how just doesn't have the talent to write articles without an aide like this. There are many ebooks on how to write articles, and just as many threads on how articles marketing suck. I truly think that an article swipe file would close the gap. And I'm not asking anyone one to breach copyright. There are big time article writers like Steve W., Tim G, and many more who have written tons of articles. I sure that one of them could easily put together something like this.

    What kind of article swipe file are you're looking for? If it's on the article title, then there are swipe file. If it's on the article itself, then you can locate the swipe file here for all subjects Google

    A swipe file, in the copywriting trade, is a series of effective headlines and short blurbs that are known to convert well.

    So you might have one like this gem (from Gary Halbert, of course):
    An amazing secret just recently discovered which every man should know about how to... instantly... put his woman "in the mood"! (This works faster than anything else a man could ever do... and... women desperately want their man to learn this secret.)
    But that's not what you're selling. Let's say you're selling something like, oh, writing articles. You would say something a little different:
    An amazing secret just recently discovered which every writer should know about how to... instantly... get "in the mood" to write! (This works faster than anything else you could ever do... and... clients desperately want their writers to learn this secret.)
    So by changing just half a dozen words, you've taken a piece of copywriting about one product or service, and made it about another one.

    Now let's try that with a piece of an article:
    Content is king. You can say that again. That is why writing articles is one of the most utilized Internet marketing media today. Internet surfers just can't get enough of information on various fields. Providing information through these articles is a surefire way to drive hot traffic to your web site.
    Well, that's all well and good, but I'm not trying to write an article about article marketing. I'm writing an article about testosterone replacement therapy. So... um...
    Testosterone is king. You can say that again. That is why testosterone replacement is one of the most utilized hormone replacement therapies today. Men just can't get enough of... uh... um... forget it.
    The thing is, you're better off writing a whole new paragraph.

    If you really want an article swipe file, you want to get PLR packs of articles you can rewrite. It's not quite the same thing, but it's close enough.
