Want to boost your referral traffic and generate more social shares from your content? Then craft engaging infographics. Here’s how to get started and build successful Infographic for yourself.

First, “identify what your target audience will be interested in,” states SerpLogic in its infographic. “A successful infographic will highlight the expertise of the company creating it while satisfying the interest of its audience.”

Second, choose the type of infographic—static, motion, or interactive—to create. More and more Gifographics come on the market which makes them even shinier. Animation can help to explain data or just makes it look nice.

Next, “source the content and data points for the infographic,” recommends SerpLogic. “Reference all data to give credit to the original source of information.”
