1. Provide a link to a page that provides further information about you.
If you want to create a QR code that links to your About Me page, there are a few different ways you can go about it. One option is to link to your About Me page on your blog or create a separate About Me website. Another option is to link to your About.me page, which allows you to list all of your websites and social media accounts in one place. Finally, if you have a Jumpscan profile with your contact information, you can link to that.
Link to a sign-up form for email.
A newsletter that you believe others might enjoy is available for download here. What about an email subscription option for your blog posts? This form should be linked to your QR code. The coolest method to expand your subscriber base is through mobile devices. How can you know who's QR code has this feature? Wink. Wink.
3. Link to an entry form for a giveaway.
If you're attending a conference this year that is sponsored by a company, you can get their goods for free by linking to a page where participants can enter. You have a few choices as far as timing goes. You can start by printing a modest number of copies for that particular conference. As a second option, you can update the page after each conference. Instead of www.blogname.com/type-a-conference-giveaway, use www.blogname.com/QR-code. You can easily change the content of that page to "about the conference".
4. Provide a link to a video about you, your purpose, or something else that you find particularly interesting.
If you want to tell someone more about yourself or your blog's goal, make a short video. That individuality of yours may be displayed in a very positive way. Consider using this opportunity to explain how you're supporting the cause and encourage others to give.
5. Incorporate your contact information into their phone's contacts.
Your phone would automatically store the contact information of a person who scanned a QR code from your phone. Even if it's a little early, it's still very cool. QR Stuff's vcard option may be used for this.
6. Make a unique offer to your readers.
What are some possibilities you could offer your new fan as a gift? A brief e-book, a checklist, or something else you feel would be valuable to them, depending on their specialization, could be sent to them. Offer a special pricing for advertising or an unique promotional offer as an alternative. In this case, the possibilities are limitless.
