By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Nap_Beltran]Nap Beltran
A lot of people think that traditional business cards have lost their value in terms of creating your personal brand as more and more people share information through online social networks like Facebook, Linked In and Twitter. But one is actually missing out on how you can actually use your social network credentials to come up with what I call an Uber Business Card.
There are a lot of websites where you can create business cards. One of the most popular is Moo where you can use your own design or choose from a varied set of designs. What is interesting about their service is that you can use a different design on each card. You can upload the photos or graphic designs you want to use very easily or even use the ones you already have on another social network site Flickr.
You then put all the important information like your Name, Your Job Position, Home Address, Email Address, Phone Number. Add as well the information where people can learn more about you online and these will include your social network credentials like your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn usernames.
Let us take it a little bit further by adding a QR Code on your business card. A QR code is almost like a barcode where you can store information that is readable by mobile phones enabled with QR readers, smart phones or any phones with cameras like an iPhone or an Android phone.
Most people would add their website address or the whole contact information so people who scans the QR code can easily add it into their mobile phones. But what would really make your business card an Uber Business Card that will surely stand out is to add a YouTube video link of yourself.
You must be familiar with YouTube and how popular it has become. Create a YouTube video that will help create your personal brand. If you think you do not have the skills to create a video. You can create a slideshow that shows a few photos of yourself and information that can best describe you. You can create one at Animoto where they made it very easy to create a slideshow that looks like a video presentation. You can then upload it to YouTube and finally you need to generate a QR code.
There are websites where you can easily create a QR code like Kaywa and Google. You just need to supply the URL or the website link of your YouTube video and presto you have a QR code. Download the QR code to your computer and upload it to Moo together with the photos or graphics you are going to use for your business cards.
The beauty of making cards on Moo is that ability to create a double sided card. Add the QR code at the back of the card together with your contact information. Remember to add a text that should tell people to scan the QR code.
Following the steps above. Check the QR code yourself make sure that it links to the right YouTube video. You can download a QR code reader from Kaywa or I-nigma and try it on your own mobile phone. Double check the contact information by proofreading it. Now you can order a box of business cards from Moo and you can even fast track it and get it in four business days.
The best part about this experience is waiting for the [http://www.fotopalooza.me/photography/business-card/]business cards to arrive. As soon as you receive it start handing out your impressive business cards and you will know that your business cards will be kept and not thrown away.
