” mind mapping” is actually a game of thoughts, focus on one thing at one time. I have seen many newbies doing random stuff like blogging plus academic writing plus SEO plus affiliate marketing…. why? because they do this for money only, this field is not their passion. Find your passion, express your feelings, money is not everything. I do blogging since 2016 and now I do it like a part-time job. THANKS, A MUCH FOR THE TIPS MATE, this will surely help the newbies to write a unique post every time.
