Tips & Best Practices
Making the Most of Your Digital Card
1. Keep Your Information Current
Update your card whenever you change jobs, get a new phone number, or add new social profiles. Your card should always reflect your current professional status.
2. Use a Professional Photo
Your profile picture is often the first thing people see. Use a clear, professional headshot that represents you well.
3. Add Your QR Code Everywhere
Include your QR code on business cards, email signatures, presentations, and social media profiles. The more places people can find it, the more connections you'll make.
4. Write a Compelling Bio
Your bio should be concise but informative. Include your expertise, what you do, and what makes you unique.
5. Test Your Card
Before sharing widely, test your card on different devices and browsers to ensure everything works correctly and looks good.
