How to promote your infographics to drive a ton of traffic

1. Visual.ly

Visual.ly is mainly an agency for creating infographics, but they also allow you to submit infographics for free and browse through other infographics.

Submitting your infographic is very easy, as there’s no checking process, but there’s also no guarantee your infographic will get on the trending page. If you do get on the trending list, you could get thousands of views, if not tens of thousands in some cases.

Users can also browse by category, so make sure to properly categorise your infographic when you submit it.

Slideshare is definitely more known for their presentations, but you can also use it to publish your infographic. In fact, Slideshare claims that infographics are more viral than presentations on the popular website, and that they are getting more shares and likes.

All you have to do to submit your infographic to Slideshare, is simply log in to your account (you can also use LinkedIn to log in) and upload it there.

Conclusion: How to promote your infographic

Posting your infographic on as many websites as possible is a must if you want to really get as much as possible out of it – links, views, traffic and engagement.

There are some other infographic directories out there, but many of them either don’t post very often or they don’t really have enough website visitors to make a difference.
