How Freelancers Can Use QR Codes to Get More Work
Link Your Portfolio from Business Cards
Print a QR code on freelance business cards that opens your portfolio site or work showcase when scanned. Past projects, skill sets, and client testimonials that cannot fit on a card are fully presented on a web page.
Designers can link to Behance or Dribbble, engineers to GitHub, and writers to blogs. For multiple platforms, use lit.link or Linktree to consolidate into one QR code.
Embed Payment Details in Invoices
Print a QR code on invoices that displays bank account information when scanned. This saves clients from manually entering account numbers and prevents transfer errors.
Converting PayPay or Rakuten Pay transfer links to QR codes lets clients pay with one tap from their smartphones. For sole proprietors, this can also shorten payment cycles.
Using at Events and Meetups
At study groups and business meetups, many cards are exchanged in short periods. QR codes instantly save your contact in vCard format on the other person's phone, eliminating later searches through stacks of cards.
Displaying a QR code on your smartphone screen works even when you've run out of cards. Converting your LinkedIn profile URL to a QR code simultaneously builds business social network connections.
