Six Most Relevant Infographics On Social Media for 2012 and Beyond

The invasion of Social Media into our daily lives have been on the steep upwards trend ever since the appearance of Facebook. What make it even more invasive now is because of the subsequent introduction of other popular sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, Youtube, Google+ and Pinterest (which is the latest craze in the social media space), so, it is just impossible to miss any of such social media mentioning in any of the website/blog that you are visiting.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not against any of these social media sites, In fact, I am promoting the use of social media in your online venture as they are the great channel to attract targeted traffics (if you approach it correctly i.e. not spamming). What I am trying to highlight it that Social Media is here to stay and it is something that every internet marketer should pay attention to (if they have not done so)!

I am not an expert in Social Media but it is a keen topic of mine for my online venture. Today, I am going to share the mother of all infographics collection on Social Media. I am pretty sure that all the social medias that worth mentioning are mentioned here. So, check it out on how they each fair through these awesome infographics (click on the images to enlarge) .

SPECIAL : Bold Declaration Of Services

Accident do happen! That's where the Accident Insurance (be it Personal Accident or Motor Accident Cover) comes into picture to close the financial gap due to an accident. 

Recently, I chanced upon an interesting website from an Accident Law Firm in Honolulu, Hawaii: Oahu Personal Injury Law Firm. I was not attracted to it because of its web design or the photos/videos placement but rather a bold statement of the commitment of their service that said : NO FEE UNTIL WE RECOVER FOR YOU.


I must say that it is a very bold and confident commitment to all the potential clients out there. From the customer's point of view, there is nothing to lose but everything to gain, so why not? Come and think of it, it is actually a very clever commitment and make business sense!

Note: The company specialized in all types of personal injury lawsuits, such as: car accidents, truck accidents, moped accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian injuries, and insurance claims. There are two offices in Oahu. One office is in Ewa Beach and the other office is in Honolulu. They offer free consultations and do not charge attorney fees unless we win your case.

Cheers! 

Infographics Way To Help You Choose The Blogging Platform

Are you new to the blogophere or planning to kick off your blogging venture? If yes, whether you are planning to blog as a hobby or aiming to become a professional blogger and use it as a platform for passive income stream, one of the first few things that should come to your mind is: Which blogging platform to use?

There is not hard and fast rule in selecting the best blogging platform that suit your needs. Of course, if you asked around, the most popular ones will be: Wordpress, Blogger, Typad, Tumblr etc...Each of these platforms has its pros and cons and most of the more popular platforms like Wordpress and Blogger have the Hosted version, which is FREE. However, most professional bloggers will recommend you to go for self-hosted version as it looks more professional and more customizable (which is true). Of course, self-hosted version comes with a price i.e. you need to purchase the Domain Name (annual cost), Hosting services (annual or monthly cost) and customized template (if deemed necessary). It is a small investment though.

As you might already noticed, this blog is in FREE hosted version (Blogger) and so far I am still satisfied with the result. Thus, it is really up to the individual but if you are newbie to blogging (and not sure whether blogging is something you like to do in the long run), my recommendation is to start with the FREE hosted version first (be it in Wordpress or Blogger).

I've collated 3 infographics on Blogging platforms which hopefully will help you in finding your suitable blogging platform. Enjoy!

1. Comparison among the popular blogging platforms:

2. Survey from 3,000 bloggers for the chosen blogging platform:

3. Wordpress being the most popular platform, this infographic helps you with the pros and cons of the FREE version (Wordpress.com) vs the Self-Hosted version (Wordpress.org):
