Creating a Pretty Infographic
Last Update: May 11, 2012
You have all likely seen infographics out there. They are descriptive full page graphics that walk you through various processes, statisical comparisons, charts, and even product comparisons.
People are visual by nature and creating an infographic can definitely lead to an awesome user experience. If you have a product or service that you would like to explain visually or perhaps you want to potray an aspect of your niche within a graphic, then you can definitely accomplish this...and do so with free tools.
The best "app" for this that I have come across is easel.ly. I have been using this all day and I have found it very easy to use.
My WealthyAffiliate.com Infographic
See an infographic that I just put together in approximately 30 minutes using ease.ly.
After you create your infographic you can export it in many different formats including .png, .jpeg, and .pdf. These can then be used with your website, within your Pinterest accounts, or within your blog.
I have actually added this particular infographic to my Pinterest account.
I am going to be creating a training resource on how to create these and explain situations where these can truly be beneficial. Also, feel free to download the Wealthy Affiliate one from my Pinterest Pin and use it for your own WA promotions.

Thanks for introducing the WA community to this Kyle. I too have just started to play with this software and am really enjoying exploring the possibilities for use. The drag and drop method to create infographics should appeal to all (even those who would normally shy away from such software. It's going to be fun to see how some of the members use it.
