Hey Michelle,
Once again I’ve found very informative Infographics on your website. Viral posts have millions of people seeing them, so the marketing potential of having a post go viral is huge.
Articles that have images, charts, graphs and other visuals get twice as much shares. This is because images evoke a stronger emotional response than plain old black-on-white text. Eventually, thanks for sharing these tips with us.
With best wishes,
Amar kumar

I agree – images help us to learn and retain information as well as creating a more emotional response.
