You actually *do* have good stories to write about.
RIP WRITER’S BLOCK — IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU!
You just haven't uncovered them yet, because you've been believing the lie that your stories have to be newsworthy in order for people to care. Inside my storytelling subscription, you'll learn how to use your REAL LIFE stories to create engaging content out of ANY "boring" moment.
Email marketing experts want you to send newsletters every single week. Blogging experts want you to publish fresh new content as much as humanly possible. Social media experts expect you to be online all the time, posting enough to stay relevant.
But none of them tell you WHAT TO SAY in all this “consistent” content of yours, or HOW to share stories that readers can relate to.
Every newsletter, blog, and social media expert on the planet has the same advice:
And you're left on the other side of the screen like... “ok sick, maybe I would if I knew what to freaking WRITE about every month!”

Until now. . .
A content storytelling subscription for business owners who want to deepen their connections with their readers by sharing personal stories that ACTUALLY SELL and AREN'T BORING.

(I COULD TELL YOU WERE NEVER GONNA USE IT IN YOUR CONTENT, SO I'M HERE TO RESCUE IT FROM "BORING STORY" JAIL.)
Hi, I’m Sara — your story's life saver.
I’ve been sending a borderline-too-personal newsletter every single week for more than 250+ weeks (without ever missing one!) so if anyone were gonna run out of things to talk about, IT WOULD BE ME.
That has yet to happen, though, because I have newsletter superpowers know how to make every single story — even if it's the most boring story in the world, like not being able to decide what's for dinner, or my 3-year-old pronouncing "chai latte" wrong — into a relatable piece of content that my readers LOVE.
And I'm willing to bet that you have zillions of them to tell. The only reason you haven't thought of them yet is because YOU aren't considering them "stories" worth telling. THAT is what Swipe File solves for you.
I'm giving you the storytelling prompts you need & helping you uncover your hidden stories by telling you EXACTLY what to share (and how to make it engaging) every single month, so you can USE the "stories" you already HAVE.
YOUR "BORING" STORIES *ARE* YOUR BEST STORIES.
Struggle with what to write in your newsletters and blogs each month
The Swipe File Is Right For You If You…
Know you want to foster deeper connections with your readers
Have no idea which stories you'd even tell if you were to start telling them
Feel like everything you think to write is too boring or lame or cringe
Haven’t stuck to your weekly emails bc you don’t know what to say
Want to get the most out of your long-form content so it actually converts
EVERY SINGLE MONTH.
You don't have to worry about "what if I'm boring?" or "what if no one cares?" or "I suck at telling stories" because, every month when you open your new Swipe File Notion dashboard, you'll have FIVE stories waiting for you — removing all of the doubts.
For every single story, I'm giving you SIX unique angles, so there's no way you won't be able to find one to work for you.
AND I'm also sharing my best tips for newsletter storytelling every month, so there's no way you won't be able to write your story in an engaging, entertaining way.
Whether you realize it or not, you already have plenty of perfect stories to tell in your content — you just aren't thinking of them that way yet, so...
I'm deciding which stories you'll tell.
THE SWIPE FILE IS DESIGNED TO WORK FOR ANYONE, IN ANY INDUSTRY, RUNNING ANY KIND OF BUSINESS.
& before you ask, NOPE…
You don’t have to be in a specific industry, own a certain kind of business, operate within a given niche, or have a business that ‘fits’ the online marketing world to benefit from this.
Want a sneak preview of what the Swipe File looks like?!
→ Don’t think you’re a “good writer”
→ Feel like your life is "boring"
THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU, EVEN IF YOU…
Because the Swipe File was specifically designed to remove all of those things from ever being a problem for you again. When you subscribe, it’ll be impossible to feel stuck, because this content is as close to done-for-you as it gets.
→ Aren’t a "natural" storyteller
→ Have "nothing to say"
→ Struggle to "stay consistent" with content
"Long story short: YOU NEED THIS if you send newsletters, write blogs, or want to stay consistent with your content."
—Alli
"Not having to think of what to send in my newsletter has saved me HOURSSS of time every week - you have no idea how long it took me to think of a topic and how to relate that topic to my industry (an embarrassing amount, that's how long). Having Sara's Swipe File make my content plan FOR me made things so much easier, of course — but having her tips on the specific angles for how I can relate it back to the call to action I want to share is GOLD."
Or, you could hire someone to write 5 weeks of story-focused newsletter content for you every single month and pay thousands of dollars.
Using my experience mentoring copywriters as my guide, I can tell you with confidence that working with the average copywriter to do both would run you at LEAST $2,000 per month, and they’d likely require you to sign on for a minimum of 3 months.
When you subscribe to the Swipe File, you’re getting those strategic, interesting, thoughtfully curated FIVE long-form content topics for just $31 per month, and you can cancel at any time.
And because ALL FIVE topics come with SIX unique storytelling angles for your newsletter (and other mediums), PLUS the 1 bonus piece of content you get every month, that’s actually 31 pieces of content.
YOU COULD SPEND $1 PER CONTENT IDEA WITH THE SWIPE FILE, ORrrrr…
MEANING YOU PAY JUST ONE DOLLAR PER CONTENT IDEA.
I don’t know about you, but I think I’d prefer the $1/idea.
And, no, this isn’t something ChatGPT can do for you, because no matter how much you prompt it, your robot actually isn’t trained to understand your nuanced, niche ideas.
AND HOW NICE WOULD IT BE TO NOT HAVE TO TRAIN THEM NOT TO LIE TO YOU?
Even though using ChatGPT or Claude for content writing sounds like a good use of AI, you know what it’s really like when you rely on the robots for your newsletters, blogs, and captions: it’s you refining, revising, and reprimanding over and over again until they get it “right” except your threshold for “right” decreases line by line as your patience to deal with the robot’s fuck ass responses thins.
frequently asked questions
Every month, I send you a Notion Hub with 5 long-form content topics chosen for you. I describe the topic, share some context about what it is, then I give you SIX unique storytelling angles. All ideas are designed to help you uncover YOUR STORY & write about it, easily.
For every newsletter angle, you get an in-depth description of exactly how to use that specific idea, with easy-to-understand examples. You also get 7 subject lines already written for you.
For every angle, you also get tips for how to repurpose on Threads, Instagram, LinkedIn, and your blog.
YES! The Swipe File works for ANYONE, no matter what kind of business you run, who your audience is, what they need, what you’re selling, where you live, the style of your content, how often you post, or what your “typical” content is.
I’d be very surprised if that happened! But, if you don’t love being a subscriber of my Swipe File, you can easily cancel any time.
Great question! Each month, you will choose your specific storytelling angles. Then, you will decide which story / tip / lesson / personal info / detail from your life / client story / student win / offer sale you want to connect to that angle.
You will then use my tips and examples to help you write the actual piece of content. I recommend sending a weekly newsletter using it.
After that, you’ll choose your subject line (or headline, if you're using it for a blog), schedule the content, and move on with your day!
The part that is ‘done for you’ is the decision of what to write (aka the hardest part), the strategy behind it, the bulk of the content outline, and the subject line / headline.
