QR codes for podcasts, YouTube channels and creators
Creators meet fans at events, in shops and on screen. A code on a sticker, a card or a slide lets someone subscribe or listen in one scan, rather than typing a channel name.
Your best destination changes weekly: a new episode, a new series, a new newsletter. A dynamic code lets the printed sticker point at the right thing.
This is a dynamic QR code: $3 once, and you can change where it points at any time without reprinting. How that works
What should a creator's QR code link to?
Choose one action: subscribe, listen to the latest episode, or join the newsletter. A link page that lists your platforms works if people use different apps.
- Change the destination when you launch a new series.
- Use a separate code on merch than on slides to see which one performs.
Where do creators put QR codes?
Stickers, business cards, merch, event slides, posters and the end of in-person talks. Do not put codes in places people cannot scan, such as inside a video that is only on a small phone screen.
Can I put a QR code in a video?
You can, but viewers on the same phone cannot scan it. Codes work best on a second screen, a poster, or a printed item, and a link in the description handles the rest.
