Different time zones. Different schedules. One community! One challenge of having members from around the world is finding a time when everyone can join a live call. So I'm changing things up! Starting now, I'm offering TWO Open Office Hours sessions most weeks, at different times to make it easier for members to join, wherever you live or work. 📅 TUESDAYS — 7 AM CT / 8 AM ET 📅 WEDNESDAYS — 2 PM CT / 3 PM ET 🎙️ What's on the agenda? YOU decide! These aren't structured presentations. They're open conversations where you can bring your questions, ideas, or challenges. ✅ EZ Bio and building your Link-in-Bio ✅ QR codes and digital business cards ✅ Marketing and growing your business ✅ Skool communities and affiliate marketing ✅ Anything else you'd like to discuss! Whether you're across the street, across the pond, or on the other side of the world, I want you to have a chance to join. No agenda. No presentations. Just real conversations and helpful answers. 🌍 Check the graphic for international time zones and the community calendar for upcoming sessions. 👇 Let me know in the comments: Which session works better for you — Tuesday or Wednesday? If neither works, tell me where you're joining from and what time works better!

So I've got lots of ideas about QR codes. However, I've got one really interesting story, which I'll get to at the end so you can have a little laugh. QR codes have become a familiar bridge between the physical and digital worlds. More than 90% of marketers now use them, and they’re increasingly being used to create experiences rather than simply point people to a website. If you want to have a little more fun with them, here are five quirky ideas worth trying. 1. Put One on Your Coffee Cup ☕ Give your morning coffee a digital sidekick. A QR code on a takeaway cup could reveal a joke, daily tip, playlist, discount, loyalty reward or even a secret menu. The trick is making the scan feel like a little discovery rather than an advertisement. 2. Turn Your Business Card Into a Mystery Instead of sending people straight to your contact details, make the QR code say something intriguing: "What's behind this?" or "Scan me. You might like this." The destination could be a personal video, special offer, portfolio, booking page or even a quirky introduction. 3. Hide QR Codes Around Your Business 🕵️ Turn your shop, office, hotel or café into a mini treasure hunt. Place codes in unexpected locations and give customers a reason to find them. Each scan could unlock a discount, piece of information, clue or entry into a competition. QR codes are already being used for contests, loyalty programmes and exclusive content, so there’s plenty of scope to make the experience playful. 4. Put One Somewhere Nobody Expects A QR code doesn't have to live on a brochure. Put one on a park bench, mirror, plant pot, shopping bag, luggage tag, restaurant table, car window or even a T shirt. The location becomes part of the marketing. A QR code on a restaurant table might say "Bored waiting for your food?" and lead to a game, special offer or behind-the-scenes story. 5. Make Your Product Packaging Interactive 📦 Don't let the relationship end when someone buys the product. Put a QR code on the packaging linking to a recipe, demonstration, setup instructions, reorder page, bonus content or surprise offer. Product packaging is already one of the most popular QR Code marketing channels, with 46% of surveyed marketers using it.

A few days ago, I shared how we transformed Julianne Anderson's traditional website into a simple, one-page Link-in-Bio at Julianne4History.com. But there's another part of Julianne's story I want to share. Julianne loves picking — hunting for vintage treasures, collectibles, and pieces of history. She also has two communities, Retro Riches Archive and Ricochet, that she's passionate about growing. And she had a dream. She wanted to wear her own branded T-shirts while she was out picking, promoting what she loves and the communities she's building. So we made it happen! 👕 We designed a T-shirt with her branding on the front and a custom QR code on the back. And here's where it gets interesting... 📱 ONE QR CODE. TWO COMMUNITIES. ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES. When someone scans the QR code on Julianne's shirt, they're taken directly to her new Link-in-Bio page. From there, they can: ✅ Explore Retro Riches Archive ✅ Join her Ricochet community ✅ Shop her vintage finds on eBay ✅ Connect with Julianne through her contact form ✅ Follow her on social media No complicated URLs to remember. No business cards to hand out. Just a conversation, a quick scan, and a connection. And because the QR code points to her Link-in-Bio, Julianne can update her links, offers, and content anytime without printing new shirts. That's what I love about combining EZ Bio with QR codes. Your marketing doesn't have to be complicated, expensive, or even digital to start a digital connection. Sometimes, all it takes is a T-shirt! 👏 Congratulations, Julianne! I love seeing your ideas come to life. 💬 Here's a question for everyone: If you could put a QR code on something you wear or carry every day, what would it be?
