Episode 885 – 13 Ways To Use QR Codes
[00:00:08] Welcome to Screw the Commute. The entrepreneurial podcast dedicated to getting you out of the car and into the money, with your host, lifelong entrepreneur and multimillionaire, Tom Antion.

[00:00:24] Hey everybody! It's Tom here with episode 885 of Screw the Commute podcast. Today, we're going to talk about 13 ways, I think they call that a baker's dozen right?, 13 ways to Use QR codes. Qr codes stands for Quick Response. Those are the little jumbled looking, raw shot things you see everywhere where people can just hold their camera up to them and then it goes wherever the advertiser or the marketer wants them to go. So that's what we're talking about today. Hope you didn't miss episode 884. That was faceless video. That's where you can make all kinds of money and all kinds of videos without actually being seen on video, so you don't have to have a great hair day, right to do it. Now for your reference, we have three other episodes on QR codes. Episode 241, 780 and 860 is about the new fangled round QR codes. So anytime you want to get to a back episode, you go to screwthecommute.com, slash, then the episode number that was 241 seven 8860 uh, faceless video was 884 and today is 885. All right. I hope you didn't miss checking out my mentor program at GreatInternetMarketingTraining.com. And also grab a copy of our automation e-book at screwthecommute.com/automatefree.

[00:01:50] All right, let's get to the the 13 ways. I always give you more than what you bargained for.

[00:01:55] So let's get to it. One is on your vehicle. You can have QR codes blown up and make them window decals or magnetic signs. I'm not sure they'd work as good as on magnetic signs as actual signs, but you could ask the magnetic sign people and tell them if it doesn't work, you're not paying. Okay, how about that? So on your vehicle, you can put ads on public transportation. I get stuck behind buses all the time and and I'm reading the you know, it's usually some injury lawyer or something, but you could have a QR code as part of your ad on any kind of public transportation point of sale. Which cracks me up because it's abbreviated POS, which also stands for piece of you know, you know what? Duty a piece of duty. So anytime people actually are buying right from you, then that's a good place to have QR codes while they're standing there, you know, checking out, they could be scanning your QR codes to sell them other stuff, any kind of mailings you do, postcards or or flyers in the mail, any kind of those. You can put QR codes on events. So an events could be speaking engagements where you're speaking or it could be where you're attending. I see people at these events that are smart marketers that have their iPad cover, has got their QR code on it and and their advertisement and their tote bags and, you know, other things in addition to their business cards, which I'm also including in that trade shows, of course, you want to have that so people can walk by, scan it, and if they're too busy to look at your booth, they can follow up with it later.

[00:03:45] Email. You can put QR codes in email, your social media, your Facebook, all the the places you can put, any kind of graphics. You can put a QR code online ads if you're advertising online, besides your text or your video or whatever it is, it can have a QR code in it. Your sales pages can have a QR code in it to give free bonuses or things like that, or sell them on something else. So any kind of web pages or sales pages, you can have blog posts, you can put them in in blog posts, packaging if you are shipping anything, which I don't ship too much anymore, but your packaging can have QR codes in it. And I did mention business cards. I do have a business card for Screw the Commute podcast, and it's got a QR codes on the back side that says, hey, what's the most famous mentor program? And of course it leads them to mine and some other thing I got on there. So fly any kind of flyers that you hand out or posters.

[00:04:51] So there's probably 20 things I just gave you that you can use QR codes for. And they're really powerful and see, that used to be they didn't catch on in the old days because you had to download a separate app and be kind of a techie to use. But now any kind of smartphone can read them just by holding up your camera app, and it locks on to that QR code and gives you a place to click, and it takes you wherever that QR code wants them to go. I highly encourage you to look at the episode 241, 780 and 860, giving you all kinds of details on the things you can do with QR codes. So here's a bunch of ways to use them. Go out and use them and it'll increase your business. You can get free generators or you can get fancier paid ones. So so suit yourself. But check those episodes 241, 780 and 860.
