Thursday’s profit tip for authors

Authors can use my new MindManager 8 Workshop Planning Map to save time planning profitable workshops. Planning is often the hardest part of a workshop program; the Workshop Planning Map simplifies the process by consolidating all the tasks and details into a single document.

Here are some of the ways that Published & Profitable members can benefit from the new MindManager 8 Workshop Planning template:

• Perspective. The Workshop Planner displays, at a glance, all of the decisions and tasks required to produce a profitable workshop.
• Delegation and scheduling. MindManager Task Info icons make it easy to add starting dates and due dates to each task. Staff responsibilities can be assigned and progress tracked using icons and colors.
• Fewer surprises. By providing a working area that displays all of the decisions and tasks helps avoid the common tendency of over-emphasizing content, for example, at the expense of marketing or event logistics.
• Collaboration and sharing. Using MindManager Connect, maps can be saved in a secure online workspace, collaboration and sharing from any Internet-connected computers.

The Workshop Planning template joins dozens of other assessments, MindManager templates, and worksheets that help Published & Profitable members Plan, Write, Promote, and Profit from a book. There are also dozens of mind maps to help you study the content structures of published books.
