If you’re doing a complex task over and over, one way to help you do things more efficiently and help you remember key steps is making a mindmap about it. I’m currently starting to make a living out of blogging, and experimenting on starting new blogs to make my own little blog network. Starting a new blog takes some time and effort, and for it to become successful, bloggers have to be diligent in setting it up and promoting it. So I decided to systematize my workflow on starting new blogs by making a mindmap for it. Here’s how my first draft looks like:
As I make more blogs, my “Starting a New Blog” Mindmap will also have more improvements and edits, which will enable me to carry over what I’ve learned from making previous blogs and apply successes to the next one.

In the Philippine Ilonggo dialect, ambot ah literally means "I don't know." After graduating in college, I decided to hold off pursuing my profession and embarked on a free spirited journey of adventure and self-discovery. My travels have led me to many places across the Philippine Islands and South East Asia. I don't know where this path will take me but I'm certain I'll get a lifetime of stories out of it.
Hi Marcos,
I’ve been following exploreiloilo for quite sometime now. We actually had your site as one of our media partners for “Bourbon Summer” (event). I was one of the members of Backtrack.
Anyway, I usually get excited whenever I see/meet someone who’s blogging for business esp here in Iloilo. There’s just so much to share. I’ve been into internet marketing for almost 2 years now. But am not a blogger like you (not yet)…I hope we can do some collaborations in the near future.
I use bubbl.us for mind mapping. Do you pay for that mind mapping tool that you use?
Ah, hello yen. Thanks gd for visiting Explore Iloilo. Wow, it’s great to read a comment on this post and meet someone doing mindmapping also. I was beginning to think that it was too geeky and OC.
I am very open to collaborations, just drop me a message sa facebook: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=591843752
I’m using the paid version of Mindjet MindManager.
wow! I never expected blogging will be this complex if one plans to take it seriously. thnx for the info. chymera! =)
i’m planning to upgrade my site too and create my own domain, u really inspired me. hehe
I noticed ur using wordpress too, may I ask what do I need to buy/upgrade to be able to put ads on my wordpress blog? is it just the Add a Domain(registration and mapping) and Custom CCS? say I buy a domain at godaddy.com, how do i xfer it to wordpress? (did i use the right term? hihi ) sorry for the trouble chymera,i’m soo new to this blogging thing, i’ll highly appreciate any help u can give. thnx thnx po =)
Oo. may maganda talaga if you have your own domain since you can have more control on your blog.
Yes I’m using wordpress. If you have a domain already, you will also need to have a web hosting plan ( mura lang sa hostfortes.com). Once you have the webhost, you can set up your godaddy domain to link to your host… then you install wordpress manually and configure everything manually. Hehe … medyo you will need to have a background in using FTP and HTML to set it up.
salamat tlga. kahet pa super busy ka, tlagang you really take time to help. cge, try ko po yan khet mejo complicated. hehe. thnx again. you’ll be blessed. =)
No problem. Ikaw rin nga eh ^_^
