Mindjet Connect pricing annoucement opens door to creating premium pricing opportunities based on new–interactive–membership levels
Filed Under Mind mapping, Profit, Software
Yesterday, Mindjet’s new website went live, containing details and pricing for Mindjet Connect, a new hosted service that permits collaborative online map creation and editing. This announcement has important implications for information marketers in general, and membership site owners in particular. Mindjet Connect offers a way for membership site owners to create additional premium membership levels based on higher levels of interactive coaching and collaboration.
Mind maps already play an important role in many membership sites. Membership site owners often use mind maps to plan their content, manage their time, and create templates for members to complete. Numerous author planning, writing and book marketing map templates, for example, are available at www.publishedandprofitale.com, including:
- Research maps to help authors analyze competing books in their field
- Plan maps to help authors prepare their book’s table of contents
- Proposal templates to help authors organize information for their book proposals
- Marketing plan templates to help authors plan their book’s marketing and promotion
Collaborative map editing
Until now, however, mind mapping has been a solitary activity. Only one person could create a mind map at a time. Mind maps can, of course, be viewed by many using online web conferencing solutions like www.gotomeeting.com, but only the host or presenter can make changes on a map.
Mindjet Connect, however, opens up a new world of collaboration. Membership site owners, for example, can present a map for discussion–such as title planning map–and all participating members can add their ideas to the map or comment on other ideas. Co-editing brings mind mapping and brainstorming to a new level, taking group participation and problem solving to a new level.
Workspaces and workgroups
Mindjet Connect is based on secure online workspaces. Maps and map templates can be placed in workspaces that only authorized members can access or modify. Membership site owners can create multiple workgroups, perhaps for members at different stages of writing their book.
Mindjet Connect simplifies map distribution and sharing. Workgroup members can access maps or collaborate with other members either in real time or whenever it’s convenient for them.
