I love the idea of publishing a QR code but... I'm not able to find branding under settings. I'm new to substack with just a handful of followers at this point. Is there some threshold I need to meet or am I missing something?
This is brilliant! (And so wonderfully presented - thank you) - I have been toying with the idea of creating a QR code and having punky cards made. (For my farm blog plus my developing substack) I travel - often and talk to people I will never see again - often - this would be an excellent way to show them what we are doing over here! I am going to make this today! Thank you again!
Wonderful to hear, Cecilia! Please share a picture once you have everything ready. I think that's a lovely idea. I was also thinking about a "business card" which I can then give people I talk to. last week I met a couple from Canada who then asked me about my newsletter.
It's nice just showing the QR code! We exchanged numbers but that's even better to stay conencted. Especially for you if you meet farmers and other people interested in your topics.
Thank you, my friend. I want my face in the box instead of the logo. I know you are with your dad right now. I'm sure someone in the community can tell me if I can change that. God bless
I’ve used a QR code since I began writing on Substack. I taped it to the back of my phone. It’s been one of the most effective ways I’ve promoted my Substack. Whenever it comes up in conversation, (and I make sure it does) I pull out my phone, show them my QR code and they subscribe immediately because I’m standing there watching them 😂
I presume you save the code as a PNG? It also offers saving it as an SVG. I don't know what that is. This should be fun. I want to do it right the first time.
Thanks for the tip, looks so much better than a static 3rd party QR code! I also created a dericated URL for my Substack and important pages inside like www.42coffees.com

I will have my Substack QR code as my wallpaper so it can be easily accessed any time!
I think can have the QR in presentations slides, business card, banners and posters.
For those with published book, I think it will be a great opportunity to get readers to go to our Substack.
Thanks for posting about this, this is such a neat feature. I will definitely have this available at my book signings.
As an aside - if a person is watching your utube on their phone - how can they then scan a QR code WITH their phone. Asking for a friend! 😂
haha so you can take a screenshot and then ask Google Lense ^^
Google Lense? Huh. Thank you!

I managed to overlook this before. Thank you. Now I'm spreading my two QR codes all over my presences....
I'm just discovering the brilliance of QR codes. How did I miss this for so long? The simplicity is blowing my mind.
You liked my comment but didn't answer the question, Kristina. Was I right to assume I should download it as a PNG?
Hi Cat, still at my dad's house.
Absolutely. PNG is best. You can then add it to a Canva design or book 📚

PNG is easiest. SVG requires software that can handle vector graphics.
Hi Diana, 💯% thanks for answering Cat's question
This is super useful. I have one for LinkedIn, too. It could be cute on on t-shirt, especially for a baby - they get a lot of attention!

I wondered what tattoo to put on my forehead!😊 I saw it, but I didn't know how to use it. As usual, Kristina, your article clarified it.
So this is to sign up even if not charging money?
I didn’t even know Substack had QR codes until your email! My YouTube channel has been blowing up. Now I’ll be including the QR in every video.
