What are YouTube business cards?

YouTube business cards refer to digital business cards that let you instantly redirect your audience to either a YouTube video or your entire channel, in addition to your contact details. You can share YouTube business cards in various ways—via Apple Wallet (or Google Wallet), QR Code, or URL.

YouTube business cards are extremely easy to create (which we will learn below), share, and access. All users need to do is scan the QR Code on your Apple or Google Wallet pass or click a URL you’ve shared to access your YouTube content.

Why should you use digital business cards as a YouTuber to grow your channel

Simply put, sharing your YouTube video/channel URL with paper-based business cards makes it cumbersome for your audience to access it. This is because the user will have to manually enter the entire URL in their browser so they can be redirected to your YouTube content.

However, when you use a digital business card with a QR Code, you can have users instantly access your YouTube video or channel upon scanning. Your users will no longer have to manually type the URL to enjoy your work on YouTube.

Super convenient, right?

These are some other solid reasons why you should use digital business cards to grow your YouTube channel:

Change your YouTube URL as many times as required

Let’s say you have shared one of your YouTube video’s URLs via a traditional business card. But now you have a new video to share with your audience. How do you do that?

With paper-based business cards, you’ll have to create and print new ones to share your latest YouTube video. This requires significant time, effort, and expenses.

Digital business cards can help you avoid such a situation and save considerable time and money.

Simply update the video/channel URLs you have displayed on your YouTube business card (at the back end). Once updated, the live changes will reflect immediately on your live card. This essentially means you can use the same digital business card to share new YouTube videos WITHOUT creating a new one every time you upload a video.

Track and retarget users who have scanned your YouTube business card

When you share your YouTube URL with someone, you would want to track user engagement to know whether your efforts are working. YouTube business cards provide you with that capability.

You can track the total and the unique number of people interacting with your YouTube business card. Also, you can get access to data such as devices used to engage with your card, your users’ locations, engagement by the time of the day, and much more.

If you are trying multiple YouTube business cards, this analytics helps you double down on what’s working and discontinue or optimize the underperforming ones.

Pro Tip: With Uniqode (formerly Beaconstac)’s digital business card maker, you can also integrate Google Analytics to dive deeper into your audience’s demographics.

Moreover, you can retarget people on Google and Facebook who have engaged with your YouTube business card. This helps you nudge users to take the desired action per your requirements.

Customize your YouTuber’s business card to display your creativity

As a YouTube creator, you want to share your video or channel in the most creative way possible. YouTube business cards let you do just that.

You can customize your Youtube business cards with various shapes, data patterns, frame text CTAs, colors, etc. This not only lets you reflect your brand in the most creative way but also helps you grab the attention of your audience, resulting in higher engagement.

These benefits are the major reasons why the adoption of digital business cards is on the rise—their market is expected to touch US$ 389.3 billion at a 9.7% CAGR by 2032. 

Therefore, you should consider these e-business cards to promote your YouTube video or channel and stay ahead of the competition.
