\"Girl<\/a>Have you ever had a great product idea, only to find you struggle when it comes to actually putting your idea into practice? Many people let a great idea for a product go to waste as they simply don’t know how to take their ideas any further. This is where MindMapping can help.<\/p>\n

Back in the day I just used to\u00a0 use a good old pen and paper to record my ideas but the day I discovered MindMapping was a revelation to me, when you create mind maps you always seem to be able to come up with more ideas and it helps you to create a better product.<\/p>\n

By MindMapping your ideas you can quickly add structure to your product, come up with new ideas and document your whole product from start to finish, as you record your MindMap you will find your mind flows with new ideas.
\nTo help you with this I am including my complete mind map for one of my product launches WSO Domination, it would probably help if you opened the MindMap as you read this blog post. You can download the MindMap here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When I came up with the idea for WSO Domination I first of all decided to lay out the modules for my product, as I created the modules the ideas started to flow, in this image you can see some of the ideas I had for the module ‘What Makes a Great WSO?’<\/p>\n

\"mindmap1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The image above just shows a tiny section of that module but if you check the full MindMap you will see the ideas really flowed, as I was MindMapping I started to have lots and lots of ideas, so obviously every time I was having an idea I was putting it into the MindMap. Every time I was having an idea I was putting it into the MindMap and sometimes I was having a new idea and it ended up branching off into new topics which ended up becoming new modules for my product.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at this example, you will see above that I list ‘services’ as ideas for WSO’s, then I have what I call a light bulb moment, as you can see when I come up with ideas for services that I branch off many times with other methods such as Copywriting<\/em> and Ghost Writing<\/em>, which in turn branches off into eBook writing and Article Writing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Once I had my product mapped out I then had to work on the sales page.<\/p>\n

I decided I needed to add the 5 P’s to my sales page.<\/p>\n
