Share Your Card and Earn Credit When Someone Joins

Your QR card now carries your referral link as well as your website. If another actor scans it, follows the link and builds a site, credit lands on your account.

How claiming works

Every card has an address of its own. Claiming it ties that address to you permanently, so a card printed today keeps working if you later change your domain, your design or your name.

That indirection is the point. A card is a physical object that outlives every decision you make about your website, and printing a raw address onto one is a bet that nothing will change for the next three years.

What you earn

Account credit when somebody who came through your card creates a website and completes their setup. It applies against a paid plan if you are on one, and accumulates if you are not.

We are not going to pretend this is an income stream. It is a thank you for the thing actors already do constantly, which is telling each other about tools that work.

Who it makes sense to share with

Other actors, obviously. Also worth thinking about: people you teach, people in your class, cast members on a production where half the company has no website, and the group chat from your training year. The card is a natural way to do it because you are handing it over anyway.

Not a good idea: posting the link into every forum you can find. It reads as spam, because it is, and it makes you look like somebody selling something rather than an actor recommending something.

Two links, one card

The card sends a person to your site. The referral is attached invisibly and only matters if the person turns out to be an actor who signs up. Nobody scanning your card gets a sales page: they get your reel, which is the whole point of the card and is not compromised by this.

Seeing what happened

Scans and referrals both show up in your dashboard, covered in referral tracking for QR cards. Printing is covered in print-ready QR cards, and the designs in business card layouts.

If you would rather not use the referral side at all, there is a switch to turn it off and the card works exactly as before.
