You’ve written a how-to blog post filled with great tips. Now, make it more actionable: Turn your blog post into an infographic.

All you need to do are two things:

1. Edit your blog post into its main ideas/steps.
2. Use an infographic design template from Canva.

Canva is a free, graphic design tool for nondesigners. I’ll show you how to create your own infographic below.

Example of a how-to infographic

But first, you’ll see a sample infographic I created from a March 4, 2016, blog post published on the Harvard Business Review website.

When I read that post, “How to Practice Mindfulness Throughout Your Work Day,” I was immediately inspired by the steps it described. But I knew I’d never take those steps unless I had a cheat sheet.

That inspired me to turn the post into an infographic using a Canva infographic template.

After I finished the infographic, I emailed the writers (Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter) and asked for permission to publish it. They approved, and here we are.
