What is an infographic?

Why use infographics?
Infographics are often easy to produce than a blog and the potential to be shared around the internet is very high. All those links going back to your website from sites with related content is going to do your ranking no harm at all.

Google images will index and include your infographic in the search engine results. It’s well known that pictures often rank higher than words.
Making it work for you
In order for this to work for you, you have to make sure you have accurate facts and figures to report, make sure you include the source of these to back up your claims.
Create a storyboard so that it reads well, nothing worse than a reader having to try and work out what’s going on and they will lose interest very quickly.
When you are designing your infographic keep it simple, to much information in a small space will make it hard for the reader to register all the information you are trying to get across and again, they will lose interest.
Always have an end point to it, nothing more annoying than reading a book that doesn’t have an ending, even if it’s your company motto or tagline,
“That’s why people eat cheese” is better than just “Cheese”.

Give yourself credit, make sure you put the author or your company name and logo, and very importantly, your url.
