Yes, you might be reading this text now, but actual you clicked somewhere to read a visual presentation of the information, the infographic below, right? The Visual Internet is taking over the way we consume information of today.
Listen to this what we can read below, an article with an image every 75-100 words get twice as many shares as those with no image or lesser images, according to that infographic, which was created by FramesDirect.
Furthermore, we can learn it takes only 13 milliseconds to process an image, which results that writers can have a hard time keeping readers’ attention when there is so much visual content to stimulate those readers. Again I need to mention it here, a picture can say more than 1000 words. And remember the attention span of a goldfish is higher than a human brain, the visual internet is overcoming this gap.
We can read more tips in the infographic for Web writers. For example:
