More to the point, it looked like totally optional homework.Infographics Can Inform, Teach, Entertain, or PersuadeHere’s a useful analogy to understand the power of real estate infographics.

Many of them are promoting someone else’s brand. It’s not the end of the world, but not ideal.Well, as promised, here is our quick rundown to creating your own eye-catching, viral infographics you can brand as your own.Here’s what you’ll need:A good topic for an infographic. What common question do you get that would make a great infographic? Think about what pain points your buyer and seller leads have and create something to help them.A free account or subscription―around $10 per month―to an online design service like Canva. A subscription allows you to access more templates, images, fonts, and more. It’s a small price to pay for professional-looking infographics.An outline of what big ideas you want to share as well as the background information you think your audience needs to know. Remember that long paragraphs will usually be illegible on infographics, so keep your copy as short as possible.20 minutes.Once you have an idea for an infographic and some data or steps to use, the next step is to sign up for a free account at an online design service.While Canva is generally considered the easiest to use, most versatile, and is our pick, all the sites below offer slightly different templates, tools, and other bells and whistles you might like better.Visual.lyCanvaPiktochartInfogramVisme (can embed videos)SnappaVenngageAnimaker (can make animated infographics)Easel.lyPicmonkeyOnce you have an account set up, choose a template, and start designing your infographic.

Here are a few tips to make sure your designs not only look great, but actually do their job too.1. Try Not to Crowd Too Much Text in a Small SpaceOne of the biggest mistakes people make when creating infographics is to try and jam tons of information into a small space. Unless you think your audience will have magnifying glasses handy, make sure you don’t use too much text.2. Learn the Basics of Color TheorySome colors just look terrible with other colors. So take the time to learn about complementary colors before you start designing.3. Use Illustrations Instead of PicturesIllustrations generally work better than pictures. First, because pictures are rectangular, making them hard to place, and second, because illustrations are easier to “read” at a glance.4. Understand That They Will Be Smaller in Social Media PostsOne frustrating thing about infographics is that they will often be shrunk down on your social media feed. That means they will probably not be readable, especially on phones. There’s not much you can do about this, so just try to make them look great so people will want to click to make them bigger.5. Don’t Try to Use Shapes Other Than RectanglesInfographics are rectangular so they fit onto phone screens. If you try using large squares or horizontal rectangles, they will be very difficult to read.6. Hire a Pro for Infographics That You Will Use in Listing PresentationsWhile Canva works great for creating infographics, when it really matters, it’s time to hire a pro.7. Make Sure They ‘Flow’The best infographics explain relatively complex processes in a visual way. Step-by-step instructions, for example, flow from one step top the next, and so are a natural fit for infographics.Where to Share Your InfographicsWant to share some of the infographics in this article or infographics you’ve created on your own? Here are a few places to share them that will get you maximum engagement:PinterestPinterest is now a massive site with more than 440 million active monthly users. It’s also 100% visual, so your infographics will be shared like hotcakes. Even better, Pinterest has a search function, which means other users will find your infographics if you add the right description and title.Your Email ListYour email list is another place where infographics are a natural fit. Here’s a pro tip to increase your open rates. In your title, tell them what they’re getting and tell them it’s an infographic. So, if you want to teach people about closing costs, a good email subject might be something like “15 Things Every Buyer Needs to Know About Closing Costs (Infographic).”Remember to send the right infographic to the right segment of your sphere. A 65-year-old homeowner will probably not be interested in a first-time homebuyer’s guide.TwitterIf you want lots of retweets from coworkers? Tweet out your latest infographic.InstagramBecause Instagram is quickly replacing Facebook and Twitter to become the social media channel of choice for millennials, your infographics will be a welcome change from the endless pictures of listings your competitors are posting.Your BlogUsing a bold, colorful infographic in your posts will greatly increase the odds of your audience reading them.
