Infographics are a great way to increase your traffic to
your website through your blog. If you do not have a blog, you should consider
getting one. Your blog is an essential part of your online marketing strategy,
just like your website and social media pages are.
Once you have a blog, you will want to create an
infographic. If you already work with infographics, you understand the value of
having this tool to help you increase traffic and get valuable leads that will
lead to increase revenue for your business.
We researched this topic for you and came up with some ideas
on our own as to how you can use infographics to increase your traffic.
Remember that what you want is targeted traffic; not just
ordinary traffic. In other words, you need quality leads that bring in the
people that are most interested in your product line or services. Having
increased traffic that is generic and not specific to your niche area is
wasted.
You need to make the most of your ROI (return on investment)
and your time by focusing on targeted traffic to reach your intended audience.

7 Actionable Tips Bloggers Can Increase Targeted Traffic
with Infographics
Below are seven different techniques that you may try to
increase your targeted traffic with your infographics.
Get your graphic listed in searches
One way that having an infographic on your blog will
increase your targeted traffic is that it gets you listed in another way. When
you create an infographic, Google automatically lists this as a picture or
image file. People searching for specific information in a given area are
allowed to choose to search for “images only” or images as well as video, text,
and other content.
By putting an infographic to work for you on your blog or
website, you will get leads from people you would not ordinarily get through
graphics listings. To give your infographic a boost, be sure to submit to these
free directories. Each of them a free to use and provide their audience with
hundreds of new infographic designs on a monthly basis.
Reach More People with Stunning Visual Content
According to Top Marketing Schools.com, having an
infographic on your page increases your potential audience by up to 15 million
people! Granted, you are not going to get that many to see your infographic,
but that is your potential audience. Think about the number of people in that
group who just might like what you have to offer.
Even if you could only corner a portion of that amount of
traffic, you could see your sales and revenue skyrocket. Focus on making your
infographics stunning and unique to increase your chances of more views.
Share your infographic with social media
You don’t want to forget your social media audience when you
create your infographic. Social media is still one of the best possible ways to
get your message out there in large numbers and encourage others to share your
message. An infographic is easily shareable across many different social media
platforms. So make sure that you share your message this way and promote your
infographic on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Since an infographic is
already in picture format, it is compatible with Instagram as well as the other
platforms.
Use these working social sharing tips and methods to help
with the process of getting others to easily share your infographic once people
see them live on your site.
Include good data and back it with research
One way you can increase traffic with your infographics is
to create excellent infographics, to begin with. Make sure your data is sound,
up-to-date, and relevant to your key audience. If you are featuring content on
your blog about how to save money, then make an infographic with a money tree
as a main image and then research ways to save money that is backed by
statistics and facts.
By using both the visual element of the graphic and the
sound data and information that is based on sound research, you will please
your target audience who are looking for information they can trust.
This also increases your level of credibility in the eyes of
your customers and potential customers. And that is priceless when it comes to
online sales.
Create unique headings and titles
Another way to increase blog traffic through your
infographics is to create a unique and interesting title and heading. For
example, this graphic which focuses on design plays off the “Star Wars theme.”
It has lettering that resembles the original Star Wars logo that is associated
with the movie. The title reads, “Star Wars: Design with the Force.” This makes
the infographic appeal more to people who remember both the original Star Wars
series and the recent remake. Using a play on words from popular movies, music,
and culture can go a long way toward increasing your audience base.
Include coupon codes or other perks
If you want to make an impact with your infographics within
your blog and send people reeling to your site, how about including a coupon or
discount code at the bottom of your infographic? We recommend putting it at the
bottom because that will usually result in people reading through your entire
infographic before seeing the code. You may want to mention earlier in the
infographic that there is a code at the bottom so that you get people who may
not read all the way through.
However, by focusing the graphic on visuals and not text,
including valid and interesting data that your key audience will respond to,
and promise a discount at the end, you will create an interest in your brand
that may keep people coming back.
After all, everyone loves a sale, and if they think they are
getting something just for reading your infographic, you can bet they’ll return
to see when you will do this again!
Gamify your infographic
Do you have a game or a fun page for kids or others that you
could include? Or maybe you just want to spruce up your infographic to make it
more engaging for your audience. Whatever the case, by putting a game such as a
link to a mobile app, game page, or another perk, you can increase the
engagement level on your infographic.

traffic to your blog!
