QR Codes for Story Marketing

[BobbyBrandt]

One of the challenges for a lot of authors with marketing stories here, as well as on sites such as Amazon, is maintaining anonymity.

Has anyone used a QR code generator to create an image that would direct people to a website where they could find their stuff?

I created a QR code that directs to my stories page here as an example of what I mean:


There are solutions to scan QR codes on a PC, but the most common application is with a cell phone or tablet, so this might limit the viability. Your thoughts?

I use them to direct people to my business site. If I decide to go back to writing and publishing full time, I'll probably use one to direct people to where they can purchase my books.

Print them out as stickers and stick them in random cafés and churches in your city.

Restaurant menus, coupon books, anonymous social media posts. The only limit is your imagination.

Birthday cards, business cards...

On the note of stickers- you can get a thermal label printer and sticky labels in whatever size you like for under fifty bucks. I use mine daily.

So directing people to erotic content would probably not surprise anyone

For the exact purpose suggested upthread, I hope!

Sadly, it's mailing labels. Slinging that tea and rocks, ya know.

I have not, but that is a good idea. I could do dome that go to my Link Tree.
