4. Select Your Font(s).

Step 1: Ideate.

• Begin by thinking about the business aspect of your infographic. To come up with a concept for your infographic, your marketing, creative, and business teams will need to collaborate.
• Begin by making a list of 8–10 ideas. Look into each to see if there is any further content or information on your selected topic, and to see if there are any other infographics that have previously covered your concept. 
• If that's the case, what further information and value can your infographic provide?

Step 2: Research, Plan And Write.

• After you've decided on a topic, you'll need to gather the information for your infographic.
• Take the time to lay out the organisation and composition of your infographic's content to ensure that you're creating an engaging tale from beginning to end — one that connects facts, statistics, and graphics.
• Your information's visual structure should be clear and logical, and the content should connect with your readers in the most effective way possible.

Step 3: Choose Your Colors.

• Did you realize that colors account for 85% of the reasons people buy something? In fact, within only three seconds of seeing an ad, 62% of individuals had already made a conclusion about the brand based on the colors used in the commercial. As a result, selecting the appropriate colors is critical to the success of your infographic.

Step 4: Select Your Font(s).

• After you've decided on a color scheme, you'll need to choose the correct font(s) for your text. The readability of your infographic is determined by the fonts you use.
• The appropriate font selections give your infographic atmosphere and individuality, whilst the bad font choices clutter the page and obfuscate the content.
• If you have the funds, have your graphic designer try with a few different typefaces to discover which ones best complement your infographic's artistic approach.

Step 5: Determine Your Infographic Orientation And Visual Hierarchy.

• After you've decided on your colors and font(s), you'll need to consider your infographic's wire-frame and orientation.
• First and foremost, make sure the visual style of your infographic speaks to your clients. Your information's visual structure should be clear and logical, and the content should connect with your readers in the most effective way possible.

Step 6: Develop Your Promotion Plan.

• You want your intended audience to view and interact with your final product. That is why you must locate the ideal locations for the infographic's launch and distribution.
• Consider all of your owned and sponsored content locations and social media platforms, as well as any influencers you may know who would be willing to assist you amplify your content.
• To advertise your new infographic, you'll also need other pieces, such as content marketing snippets. Make a list of what you’ll need before the infographic is finished so that you’ll be ready to get a jump-start on your marketing as soon as the content is complete.

Step 7: Set Your ROI Goals.

• If you haven't already done so in the planning phase, make sure you set return on investment (ROI) targets for the infographic. At the end of the campaign, you'll want to be able to determine if your infographic fulfilled your goals or not, so you can show your ROI to the leadership team.
• If your aim is to grow leads, for example, make sure your infographic includes a call-to-action to contact your organisation or fill out a lead gen form to gain access to extra resources. You'll be able to track how many leads your infographic generates this way.
• If even one of these critical features is lacking, your infographic may struggle to flourish. You may wind up with a terrific idea but lousy design work, a great infographic but no marketing plan, or a lovely infographic conveying a terrible idea.

To zero in on the right elements, ask yourself these three questions:

1. At the end of the infographic, what conclusion do you want the reader to reach?
2. Is there anything more the reader needs to know?
3. What information about your consumers do you require?
