ADVICE

Pick The Right QR Code Generator

  • Use a QR code generator suited to your needs: Kindlepreneur for simplicity, IQR Codes app for Mac users who want design control, or QRCode-Generator.com for Bitly integration.
  • Balance cost, design control, and subscription pushiness when choosing a tool.
INSIGHT

QR Code Tracking Depends On Where The Link Goes

  • A QR code alone doesn't transmit scan data; tracking requires using a unique URL that you can measure when visitors reach it.
  • Use self-hosted redirects (WordPress Redirection plugin) to create cancel-proof trackable URLs rather than relying on third-party shorteners.
ADVICE

Use QR Codes On Business Cards For Reader Magnets

  • Promote your reader magnet offline with a QR code on business cards so friends can scan immediately and get it on their phone or Kindle.
  • Print inexpensive stacks from services like Vistaprint and include cover art and the QR code to boost conversions.
