Infographics have been quite popular on Facebook, Twitter, and other social websites. If done the right way, they can help businesses attract a ton of links to their web properties and get a lot of love in the top social networking sites. Most businesses are better off hiring experts to help them create infographics. But that could cost money. If hiring a designer to help you with creating infographics is not something you can handle in your budget, you can always create your own. Here are just 6 tools businesses can use to create their own infographics:
Adobe Illustrator: a professional software from Adobe that every professional publisher or designer needs to have. Mastering it can take a bit of time. Illustrator is not a cheap product by any means. At the same time, it has all the power one would need to create a killer infographic.
Gap Minder: gives you access to a ton of data you can use to perfect your infographics. It can save you time doing research.
StatPlanet: offers you access to useful data and makes the process of creating visuals more straightforward. The MapMaker software is pretty useful too.
