Juiced On Writing

I was very recently contacted by Roger C Parker, the author of the Daily Writing Tips blog for writers. He picked up on my own liking towards mind maps for writing, and introduced himself and the benefits found on his membership website , Published and Profitable, and in the articles found on his blog.

Roger’s site is a cavern of resources for the writer, especially somebody like me, wanting to make some inroads into creating a career in writing. And he’s graciously offered me, and the readers here at JuicedonWriting.com a free copy of his report on Mind Mapping for Marketers and Writers (more details below). But first, let me take you through the what you can find at Roger’s site.

Published & Profitable

The Published & Profitable website and services offer readers a feast of information. Sign up for Roger’s Write Your Way to Success report, for a free start. This signup is available from the homepage and offers not only a small report for free, but a monthly newsletter and weekly tips.

Onsite, there are copious articles and interviews with authors on topics such as building a web platform for yourself as a writer, and I particularly like the look of the Maps 4 Study series – a series analyzing the factors behind the success and organisation of several bestselling books.

This is a membership subscription site, where members benefit with access to 275+ reports, video content and webinars featuring Roger’s own brand of coaching for writers. Signup on subscription gives you a free 184 report entitled, “Published & Profitable”, along with access to all the site features, which include forums and regular teleseminars.

Members can also access MindMap templates and other templates for help in writing- note taking, planning and promoting your writing work. Roger uses MindJet MindManager, as I do, but also offers these maps as PDFs for non-Mindjet users. As a coaching service plus more, Roger is right on the mark, with topics from planning writing, mindmapping and all the way through to marketing and promoting yourself.

I may well  ask my upcoming Santa if he might be able to fit a subscription to the Published and Profitable services and site for myself this Christmas. Note that I am not an affiliate to Roger’s site, but extremely interested in the content offered there.

The Daily Writing Tips Blog

Look on the Daily Writing Tips blog for daily articles on many topics. Currently, Roger pointed out the Before and After book cover designs to me. This news happens to be profiled with a covershot for an Adoption book, quite fitting for my own personal circumstances. The blog has a normal RSS feed so is easily subscribed to within a feed reader.

Published and Profitable MindMapping Landing Page

From this link here, you will find several mindmapping resources provided by the website, including several free reports on using MindManager for writing projects (there’s a report on using mindmaps for creative briefs, one giving MindManager keyboard shortcuts, and a report on tracking and planning your blog progress). There is also a MindManager template for planning a non-fiction book project.

The final report of interest is the Introduction to Mind Mapping for Marketers and Writers. This is a ten page report which has some interesting ideas in it, including how to recycle blog posts such as some you find here on Juiced on Writing into a report or other media, using a Mind Map to document the URLs and topics. It’s a professional production as are all the others freely found on the Mind Mapping Resources page.

What I’ve Taken Away for Learning

Although currently unable to subscribe to Roger’s services, the site still offers a lot for me to think about. I am in the throws of writing a novel for NaNoWriMo, with two half-finished non-fiction ebooks, and of course – two blogs I need to maintain as the author. Roger’s professional reports have already taught me something about the importance of designing up those reports, and not sticking to the normal expected powerpoint or word templates, which in all honesty often didn’t suit my own graphical nature anyway. Taking a look at his reports has also taught me that I can work more within my mind maps even more so than I have been experimenting with. He’s given me the creative kick I needed at this time of the year.

Take a look at the Daily Writing Tips blog, and signup for that free newsletter and report at least. And see you after Christmas as I hope to enter the subscription site also, and learn more from the coach.
