It’s no secret that content is what drives the internet and having an abundance of valuable content can make you stand out from the crowd of people. Your going to have competition which is way it’s important to ensure you have the right topics and are quickly producing effective content. Many people fail before they even write content since they don’t have the right tools to map out what they are going to write about. If you can create a solid outline of what you need to do then your going to have a easier time creating content which is of value. Next,
There are many different approaches people use to creating an outline. Even though people are effective using their on approach, I like to use something known as mind mapping. This allows me to know exactly what I’m going to be doing without writing out an outline. The time I save from not having to write out an outline can be used to effective write out my content making it longer and more in-depth.
What is mind mapping?
It’s the process of drawing out your idea’s within your mind and not having to write them down. You’ll map out the layout, colors, content, images, videos and infographics. This, for some, might take some time, but once you get in the habit you’ll be able to outline your content as soon as you think about it.
Here are some cool ways to start incorporating mind mapping into your content marketing...
Get Into The Mind Frame
The first step is to get into the right mind frame which means to train yourself into checking inside and not on paper. This does take some time however an effective strategy is the following. Start by dividing up the elements only think about small elements at a time. When you can create that element within your mind and don’t need to write it on paper, you can move onto the next. For example,
Start by thinking about how you’ll organize the images then how you can use videos within your content, etc. After, you can move onto the next step.

Start in Middle
One of the best strategies I’ve used to conquer mind-mapping is to always start in the middle because you can expand in all directions. If you start in different area’s how might be stuck on that idea. For example, if my keyword or topic I would like to write about is “link building” then I should start to expand in all directions from this keyword. If I start from “article directories” as a link building technique then I might shift my focus to only this strategy narrowing the scope at which I can expand.
When trying to come up with the right mapping pattern always start in the place where you can expand the most which involves working from the main “keyword” outwards. Using this pattern will also help you visual and adopt the mind mapping pattern more quickly.
