\n1. Create Simple Infographics
\n==================================<\/p>\n
You can’t go anywhere on the Internet these days without seeing
\neye-popping infographics.<\/p>\n
Wouldn’t you love to be able to afford to pay an artist several
\nthousands dollars to create one of those giant, fancy-schmantzy
\ninfographics for your next PR campaign? I would. But it isn’t in
\nthe budget.<\/p>\n
So I’m doing the next best thing. I’m learning how to create
\nsimple infographics myself.<\/p>\n
Pie charts. Doodles. Flow charts. Bar charts. Maps. Word clouds.
\nGraphs. Those are only a few of many types of infographics you
\ncan create to dress up your website, blog, press releases, press
\nkit or online pressroom. You don’t even have to be an expert at
\nPhotoshop or have artistic talent.<\/p>\n
I’m experimenting with dozens of free and super-cheap tools, and
\nI can save you hours of time.<\/p>\n
Join me during the webinar “How to Easily Create Free or
\nInexpensive Infographics” from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on
\nThursday, May 24. I’ll show you what I’ve created and I’ll share
\nlots of tips to make the process easy.<\/p>\n
Note: I am NOT a techie. And I don’t expect you to be either. So
\nI am purposely keeping this very simple.<\/p>\n
