I’m still playing around with free infographics tools and apps in preparation for my webinar tomorrow—Thursday, May 24—on How to Easily Create Free and Inexpensive Infographics.<\/a><\/p>\n

You’d be amazed at the astonishing number of web-based tools, and reviewers, who refer to so many of these DIY graphics sites as “drop dead simple.” Not for my non-techie mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I abandoned Infogr.am<\/a>, a site that a few reviewers were gushing over, when I tried repeatedly to load their template for a pie chart, but it kept loading something completely different.<\/p>\n

OK, then. I chose another template and created a chart comparing the weight loss of three fictional women over a five-month period. When I got to the end of the project, about 45 minutes later, I lost all my work. Enough of that!<\/p>\n

After doing a Google search for free infographics,\u00a0I ended up at Piktochart.com<\/a> and fell in love with this site! Everything is drag and drop. It’s easy to understand. The “undo” button, my best friend, is easy to locate.<\/strong> The only quibble I had was that I was unable to upload my logo or graphics. (Did I miss this somewhere?)<\/p>\n

UPDATE on May 23:<\/strong> Piktochart tells me you can, indeed, upload your own logo or images. \u00a0Go to Edit Info > Tools > First icon on the left.<\/p>\n

The infographic below took about two hours because I was super-picky about the fonts and colors. I chose one of their free templates rather than paying a monthly fee which would have given me a bigger selection of some gorgeous templates. I didn’t have time to research statistics to use when creating it, so I used information about my own business.<\/p>\n

Also check out the other infographic I created earlier this week about 3 Questions Bloggers & Journalists Love<\/a>\u00a0using Easel.ly. If you want more time-saving tips about what to do, and not do, when you use these sites, register for Thursday’s infographics webinar here<\/a>. I’m going to save you hours of time using these sites because I’ll tell you about all the mistakes I made.\u00a0
