QR Codes for Creators: Bridge Offline and Online
QR codes aren't just for restaurants. Learn how creators use QR codes to drive real-world traffic to their link-in-bio page.
QR codes are back
The pandemic brought QR codes into mainstream acceptance. Everyone knows how to scan one now. For creators, this opens up a powerful channel: real-world promotion that drives digital traffic.
Where to use your QR code
- Business cards — Replace "follow me on..." with a QR code to your link-in-bio
- Merch — Print your QR code on stickers, t-shirts, or packaging
- Events — Display your QR code at meetups, conventions, or workshops
- Flyers and posters — Add your QR code to any printed material
- Your phone wallpaper — Quick access to share your page in person
Display your QR code on your page
You can enable a QR code directly on your link-in-bio page. This is useful when sharing your screen during live streams, video calls, or presentations. Viewers can scan your code and instantly land on your page.
Design tips for QR codes
A plain black-and-white QR code works, but a branded one works better. Add your logo to the center (most QR code tools support this with error correction). Use colors that match your brand. Make sure there's enough contrast for easy scanning.
Always test your QR code before printing or sharing. Scan it with at least two different phones to make sure it works reliably.
