Infographic/Link Bait idea. Unrelated to my site though, suggestions?

[astahl11]

Question, been thinking of some link bait infographic ideas for my site www.jobshadow.com

I've got a couple in the careers/job niche but the one I think would be best is completely unrelated.

I study free market economics a lot and want to debunk the whole 'deflation' debate that is on the news these days.

The overall gist would be to do so with a history of Apple products showing why falling prices aren't anything to be afraid of.

Given that it's econ/techie related(even non econ people would find this graphic neat I think) and not specific to the 'career hunting' and job searching my site is I'm curious what people suggest.

Give it a shot and release on our blog anyway?  Or trade it to someone else in a more relative niche(assuming the graphic gets built, I know ideas are relatively cheap:).

By all means produce it and have it on your site. Not only will it bring the possibility of traffic and links, but you are also expanding your brand presence online.

Be sure to include the embed code so that others can link use your image, and it will link to your site.

Good luck!

Hi astahl11,

If you're looking to promote infographics on your blog I would personally be aiming for related topics, whilst the 'deflation' debate around tech products sounds interesting I think you may struggle to get any traction with an unrelated site behind it as such.

Have you explored all the various areas your site could offer in terms of infographic topics?

• As your site is about mentoring and shadowing a career path, perhaps something along the lines of inspiring people with online presence/profiles. To test the water you could try some top 10 style lists, with more of an ego bait angle perhaps?

• Stats surrounding apprenticeships and getting young people started in new careers?

• A survey surrounding job satisfaction? And linking that to stats about changing your career path - how many people have tried it, how many have succeeded, what route did they follow, etc?

Hope that helps in some way.
Thanks, Greg

Or talk about the economic impact of deflation and its effect on the job market...

Hey, great thoughts.  Much appreciated!

I could do a survey around job satisfaction pretty easy.  Have tons of data there. Was looking into that.

What did you mean by the 'ego bait angle' and top 10 lists?  Sounds interesting.

Also, could you elaborate on the inspring people with online presence/profiles.  Those seem pretty intriguing/possible.

Thanks!
