I use a program called Mind Node Pro for Mac. It really is simple to use.

Thanks Kerry.

One of the very few practical ones i’ve ever seen. If i may ask, what software did you use to create the mind map which you created in the blog? (As i have gone through alot myself but this particular one looks very professional)

Yes that’s works very well. But what have I always said? Nothing has to be perfect. If it was it would never get released!

Thanks Dee:-)

Missed this post for some reason!
I plan everything, love brainstorming. As Ian said start in the middle and work outwards like the spokes of a wheel. One idea leads to another.
As you know I am into product creation this year, my problem is to stop turning them into blockbusters! LOL!
Dee

Not exactly on product creation but definitely related and a good read.

There are loads of free tools you can use from:

http://www.xmind.net/
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Download

They’re great resources for getting your ideas down and then building on those ideas.

I also like to write my main content in notepad. At least this way I can’t bold, underline or italic stuff. Since I’ve started doing this, I’ve managed to get loads of work complete.

Try em and see what you think :)

The best thing is including the mindmap with your product as a nice little bonus for your client. This is bearing in mind that you haven’t had to do any extra work in the process.

I must admit, I love playing around with graphics and seeing what I can create (6 hours later), Hmmmmm, maybe my time’s best spent on more productive things and then use good ole Fiverr!! 😉

@Dan I can’t believe how much time outsourcing saves. It’s money well spent in my book.

How many people do you get on the WF complaining about upsells. HELLO, can you say “McDonalds” (Is that a large) “Amazon” (others also viewed) etc etc etc.

To be a true marketer I think you need to embrace all facets (including product creation). In fact i think we should spend most of our time doing this :)
