Hey BN members. I'm new to BN, and I've decided to make my first post here, and show you the way how to promote your website or business (both online and offline) for free. Now, we all have cell phones that are much more powerful then some of our previous computers. They have fast CPU-s, more memory, more ways to connect to internet, but the most important thing is that they have CAMERA! 99,9% cell phones have camera, that we can use for promotion. How? Using QR (quick response) codes. As you probably now, QR codes are 2D codes, that cell phone cameras can read, using special software (different for each type of phone). In QR code you can embed your contact information, picture, or you use it to redirect user to your website. You can find lot of free QR code generators on web, just search for "QR code generators" on google. Once created, you can print them and put them anywhere you like in your city. You can put them on your business cards, you can print them to your t-shirt, put them on your blog...there are no restrictions. And thanks to people's natural curiosity, everyone is going to be interested to see what is hiding behind that code. Psychology works for you.
Thank you for reading this, and I hope that this can help you increase your traffic.
I wish you all the best.

Thanks for sharing. This must be a "new-generation" thing as I have personally never heard of a Quick Response Code nor did I know, until reading post, that cell phones could read these codes.

A quick search of the internet helped me wrap my mind around it. From what I hear you suggesting is we can take photos... embed a quick response code... and then post/publish these photos where ever and, if people knew a QR was embedded, curiousity would cause them to view it?

Why not simply post/publish a eye-catching photo with VISIBLE headline so everyone can see the "code" and form an opinion. Because I'm just thinking of myself and everyone I know... I cannot EVER think of a time someone pulled out their cell phone to "uncode" a secret code.

Am I missing something?

One thing to remember about business promotion is that most prospects are not technically savvy.

So, if your target as an mlm marketer is to reach tens, even hundreds of people with your mlm marketing message and get these folks to take action, then you must of necessity keep your promotions simple.

Remember K-I-S-S? (Keep It Simple S**pid)

Keeping things simple means more people will understand the message. And more prospects are likely to take action.

BRILLIANT IDEA AND POST Mladen.

I'm 49 years old and don't use QR codes only because I have not upgraded my phone to one that reads them. BUT, the time is coming and my kids do it all the time.

Guys, this is the Bar code reader thing. It's a direct link to your website. It's brilliant marketing!

Old School: Type in a URL to get to a website.
New School: Scan in a URL to get to a website.

Those of you with phones scan this and tell me if it works. It should take you to my LinkedIn Professional Profile... not my opportunity page, I respect the forum rules.



This will work for getting people to your site because it automates a big step in the invitation process. It is simple.

Of course not all people will use it or even know what it means, but as a network marketer you ask everyone you know and everyone you meet to check out your opportunity. This is another futuristic marketing approach that holds validity. At least until it get abused

I first heard of QR codes at the warrior forum a few months back. A marketer there was saling a course on how to set up QR codes for offline businesses, now they are just about everywhere.

Just another way to one up on you competetion.

try selling this to real estate agents.

It can be a great business because they can post these on their signs in front of the house
and it can send them to see more information about the house

Its a tool, but think of it as a tool among the others. Its not instead of but in addition to. Still must have your Social Media strategy and what ever else you are doing.
