Why Use Linkza?

  • Never run out of business cards
  • Update your information anytime without reprinting
  • One link contains everything - no need to share multiple cards
  • Track who views your card and when
  • Eco-friendly and cost-effective

Creating Your Profile

Step 1: Sign Up

Start by creating a free account. You can sign up with your email address or use social login options.

Step 2: Choose Your Handle

Your handle is your unique identifier on Linkza. For example, if you choose "johnsmith", your link will be linkza.io/johnsmith. Choose something professional and easy to remember.

Step 3: Add Your Information

Fill in your profile with:

  • Name & Title: Your full name and professional title
  • Photo: Upload a professional profile picture
  • Contact Info: Phone number, email, WhatsApp
  • Social Links: LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.
  • Website: Your personal or business website
  • Bio: A brief description about yourself

Step 4: Customize Your Design

Choose colors, fonts, and layout options that match your personal brand. You can preview your card before publishing.

Sharing Your Card

Once your profile is set up, sharing your digital business card is easy. Here are the most common ways:

Share Your Link

Copy your unique link (linkza.io/yourhandle) and share it via text, email, social media, or anywhere you'd normally share contact information.

Social Media

Add your Linkza link to your social media profiles, email signatures, and online bios. One link replaces multiple contact methods.

How People Use Your Card

When someone clicks your link or scans your QR code:

  1. They see your digital business card on their device
  2. They can view all your contact information and links
  3. With one tap, they can save all your information to their contacts
  4. They can call, text, email, or visit your social profiles directly

QR Codes

QR codes make it even easier for people to access your card. Just point their phone camera at the code, and they're taken directly to your profile.

Downloading Your QR Code

From your dashboard, you can download your QR code in multiple formats:

  • PNG: For digital use (websites, presentations, social media)
  • SVG: For scalable graphics (logos, print materials)
  • PDF: For printing on business cards, flyers, or posters

Your link and QR code never change, even when you update your information. This means all your printed materials and shared links will always show your current information.

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.
