Having a graphic is not a silver bullet

Infographics are not silver bullets, they are an effective piece of your content strategy, they are not your content strategy

If you build it, they won’t come

You have an infogrpahic completed, now what?

Hard Work

It’s going to take hustle.

If leveraged right one campaign can affect a lot of KPI’s.

Notice I said, “One Campaign” not “one infographic”

What if I told you, “15 mins or less could get you 30k visitors?”

After this graphic, http://www.soleranetworks.com/blogs/are-you-a-hackers-target/ was designed we sliced it up by taking screen shots and put it on slideshare and...

http://www.slideshare.net/SoleraNetworks/are-you-a-hackers-target

Did it again with this one, http://www.drugrehab.org/28487/how-meth-affects-you-infographic/

10k+ views, top of the day, only 6 slides, http://www.slideshare.net/DrugRehabdotorg/how-meth-affects-you

Upcycle it by working it into a BuzzFeed article. Buzzfeed article = 319k views!!! Referral traffic from BuzzFeed = 16,073

and this one, http://www.defensivedriving.com/blog/the-ins-and-outs-of-motorcycle-clubs-infographic

23k+ views, top of the day, top of the week, only 10 slides http://www.slideshare.net/DrugRehabdotorg/how-meth-affects-you. We did this one as a complementary, it isn’t the same content as the graphic, which drove a lot of traffic back to the graphic.

Embed your Slideshare on your infographic landing page

Make Your Content Interactive

Case Study in Interactive Content, http://www.desk.com/customer-service/how-to-improve-customer-service

Desk.com, awesome product that is widely used. Wanted a cool interactive way to explain benefits and really sell the product high in the Funnel.

We created an interactive explainer and the #’s are compelling.

In Analytics the Graphic was Broken into 4 parts. 40% of all traffic (even social) complete the entire interactive. Remember this information is 100% about Universal Inbox. It is 100% “on brand.”

Avg. Time on Page is 3.2 minutes (that is from all traffic even social).

Interactive can tell a long and complicated story in a more compelling easy to digest way.

Ranks in Google for awesome on brand phrases related to the product and the reaction is phenomenal

Even though it is very much on brand it is still getting a lot of social shares due to cool and unique factor.

You can put and track actual CTA’s on the graphic page. We track hovers over and clicks on CTA’s.
