How do I find a cost-effective solution for Infographic deve?
-
I am trying to get an infographic produced from end to end. The problem is, I work for a startup and finances are tight. I have looked at agencies, but they want atleast 2.5k for 1 single infographic. Any advice?

If you have the time, you can do one yourself too. Check out http://infogr.am/. They setup a couple of cool templates and you fill everything in. It's actually pretty fun to do too!

Hi Rand,
His portfolio is here: http://www.design.evasilev.com/
Overall, his work is good. However, the amount of hours you are willing to allow will determine how detailed/customized he can get. In addition, definitely have all of your information in a thorough project brief so you don't run up charges clarifying the data.
You may also be interested in a recent post by Jon Cooper on infographics: http://pointblankseo.com/visualizations He has good tips on creating one on a budget, finding data, and promotion.
Good luck to you!

David,
I appreciate the feedback, I will take your advice. $500-$800 sounds far more reasonable.
How would you rate Zhenia Vasiliev work?
Regards,
Rand

Thanks Igor, I will do that!

I agree with the two posts above. Also, here is a great example of a unique, interactive inforgraphic:

Hi Rand,
Try elance.com <- bunch of elancers that will do it much cheaper. I've never used them for infographics but I did use them for a lot of the other stuff. Just make sure you read their reviews and negotiate all terms upfront.
or
http://visual.ly/ <- its all about infographics

I have used an oDesk provider named Zhenia Vasiliev to have high-quality infographics produced in the price range of $500 to $800. He lives in the UK so communication is easy, but he can be a little late when it comes to deadlines. I would steer clear of most of the cheap designers on the freelance sites though -- a lot of them are just using programs like piktochart and communication can be a headache.
Regardless of what option you decide on, make sure that the infographic presents awesome information in a unique way that your target user base will enjoy. Right now the Internet is flooded with crappy infographics and there is nothing inherently magical about them. Good luck!

How to use articles effectively in a blog.
I wanted to start a blog so I could get some longer tail search term results. I am a knowledge expert in my area but am very busy as an entrepreneur so I had been putting it off for some time. It occurred to me that I might be able to outsource the article writing and I have started doing that. I have either come up with or have approved the topics. I am a very critical editor and demand high quality writing. The articles are all original. We are proofreading everything to make sure the articles are of high quality and inform readers about the subject. I plan to only put external links in the articles that link out to the sources for the information that was used to write the articles. We are also using pictures info graphics and video where possible. I plan to close the comments because, while we have had a website for some time and get some visitors (2500 per month) we are new to blogging and do not have a following that would post comments. My questions is this.......will these be viewed negatively by Google? I think this will be good content but I don't want to do anything to negatively affect us.

Finding a copywriter
Hi seomoz, This is not quite a SEO issue, but I have a feeling you may be able help. English is a second language to me and copywriting is not my favorite sport. So, I've decided to find a copywriter. But have no clue how to look for one. I have hired ton of programmers, designers, and other technical resources in the past. People that have concrete skills - programmer where I could say do X, Y & Z and I can check if X, Y & Z were done - are no problem for me to hire. It still takes a long time, but that's not an issue. I know I want the copywriter to write in certain style (style of seomoz.org, woot.com or doubleyourdating.com). How do you define writing like that? Can writing like that can be defined? And put into requirements? Do you need 'customer avatar' or 'marketing voice' document or something similar? How do I find a kick ass copywriter? Optimisticly hoping there is a better answer than just 'test bulkload of them'! Thank you,
