What is an infographic?
An infographic is a graphic that displays information. The graphic can include data, copy or both.As with all definitions there are always going ot be those who argue eactly what should and shouldn't be included as an infographic. I think don't worry about exact definitions, just explore how you could use them effectively to promote your niche.
I give career advice and this is one I created for my site.
Some benefits of using Infographics
- Allows you to get a message across very quickly - we process visuals quicker than text
- Can communicate a lot of information in a small area.
- Can use infographics for a particular demographic
- Infographics are flexible - can be used to show any type of information
- Can allow you to tell common messages in a unique way
- Appeal to people who are visual learners (which 65% of people are)
- Can be quick to create (when you know what you're doing)

Thank you, BIS!!! I needed to learn about info graphics, and as soon as I thought, "what is this"? You defined it and really sold me on the use of info graphics. Now, please, write an info graphic-for-beginner-users...ME! A short tutorial that a computer-illiterate can use. You are absolutely correct too = many, many folks are visual learners.

Great info! I have always struggled with adding graphics to my web pages. Infographics will make it easier to add quality content and break up the text.
On a side note, your infographic for your coaching site is very motivational! I should print it out and hang it in my cubicle at work to help me keep a positive attitude throughout the day.

Beverley that was a great resource!
But then I do enjoy all your resources.
I am working on a couple of infographics for my websites. Being so visual, myself, I just love doing them. I think using infographics on a website, along with videos and images helps to break the written content up and keeps people on your website longer and helps with return visitors. I also find that it is an excellent way to repurpose content.
Looking forward to viewing your new infographic!
