QR codes are everywhere these days. You see them everywhere: restaurants, business cards, flyers, signs, parking meters, product packaging, and even T-shirts! But there's a growing problem. Scammers use QR codes to trick people into visiting fake websites, steal personal information, and even collect fraudulent payments. It's called quishing — QR code phishing. And here's the challenge for those of us using QR codes legitimately: How do you get people to TRUST your QR code enough to scan it? That's why I believe branding your QR codes is more important than ever. ✅ Add your logo. A recognizable logo helps people associate the QR code with your business. ✅ Include a clear call to action. Tell people what they'll get when they scan. Don't make them guess. ✅ Use a recognizable destination. Whenever possible, link to a domain people recognize and trust. ✅ Make your QR code look professional. A well-designed QR code can help build credibility. ✅ Be consistent with your branding. Use your colors, logo, and messaging so people recognize your business wherever they encounter it. Of course, a logo doesn't guarantee a QR code is safe. Scammers can copy logos, too. People should always check the destination URL before opening a link or entering personal information. 🟡 Two QR Code Tools to Help You Stand Out I created two QR code tools to help businesses and creators use QR codes better in their marketing. 📱 QR Code Generator — Inside EZ Bio Create clean, professional QR codes that connect people to your website, Link-in-Bio, contact information, or other online destinations. 🎨 Logo QR Code Generator — LogoQRCodeGenerator.com Take your QR codes a step further by incorporating your logo, images, and branding. Perfect for flyers, signs, business cards, T-shirts, and promotional materials. Both tools help you make your QR codes more useful, recognizable, and on-brand. The goal isn't just to make your QR codes look better. It's to make them recognizable, communicate their purpose, and give people more confidence about what they're scanning.

There’s a tool I use that a surprising number of people don’t know about: The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. It has been taking snapshots of websites for years, allowing you to enter a domain and travel back in time to see older versions of the site. 👉 Bought an old domain and want to know what used to be there? 👉 Accidentally replaced content and need to find an older version? 👉 Rebuilding a website and want to recover old copy, images or ideas? 👉 Curious how a company, competitor—or even your own business—has changed over the years? Go to web.archive.org, enter the website address, choose a date with an available snapshot, and start exploring. It’s not a perfect backup. Not every page, image or file gets archived, and some websites have very limited history. But when you need something from an old website... the Wayback Machine can be a lifesaver. 💡 Try this: Put your own domain into the Wayback Machine and go back as far as you can. How old is the earliest version of your website you can find? Drop the year in the comments. 👇

If your answer is somewhere between “a lot” and “please don’t ask,” you might want to try this. Chrome now has Vertical Tabs built in. Instead of squeezing a ridiculous number of tabs across the top of your browser, you can move them to the side where you can actually read the page titles. First, make sure Chrome is up to date: 👉 Click ⋮ in the upper-right 👉 Help → About Google Chrome 👉 Let Chrome update if needed Then: 👉 Right-click the empty space next to your tabs 👉 Select Show tabs vertically That's it. It’s a small change, but if you spend most of your day bouncing between tabs like I do, it makes Chrome feel a whole lot more organized. Anyone else using vertical tabs yet? Or are you still living dangerously with 37 tiny favicons across the top? 😂

One of the best parts of Skool is the people you meet along the way. Krista Brea has become my Skool Bestie ❤️ — and she happens to know a thing or two about turning ideas into books that actually get found and sold on Amazon. If you have an ebook, PDF, course content, or an idea sitting in your head, Krista teaches you how to turn it into a real physical book on Amazon — and how to use SEO and smart positioning to help people discover it. And she practices what she teaches. 👉 $100K+ in self-publishing royalties — part-time. Here’s why I’m sharing this today: Krista’s Skool community is moving from FREE to PAID on September 1. I’ve been a member for a while, and if publishing a book has ever crossed your mind, I highly recommend joining while you can still get in for free. Sometimes your Skool Bestie helps you level up. 🚀 Sometimes she helps you publish the book. 📕 I’ll drop the link below. 👇 Krista Brea's KDP Publishing
