Introduction
Hello everyone 📈. It’s been a month since I’ve launched and wrote the first Tulio issue. Thank you to all who have joined and are in for the journey. I won’t disappoint 🗡. I just want to say two things. Firstly, I might be doing a giveaway soon for all people who are subscribed. Let me know in the feedback form if you’d like that (idk why you wouldn’t, but still do tell!) Secondly, my recent newsletters have been landing in the Gmail promo tab. I’m trying to figure out how to fix this, but in the meantime, check that tab if you’re looking forward to a new productivity tool but don’t see it in your regular inbox.
Now, I know most of you may be college students, young adults, or founders/creators working to expand your name. I get it, connecting with people isn’t always easy, especially when pulling out your LinkedIn/Instagram/Twitter/number gets boring after the first few times. You put it in, and the other person doesn’t have it pop up, or you mis-type, or it’s just an awkward mess. That’s why Blinq was created. You can connect and share all your information with anyone with just a tap of a button. It’s the ultimate connection time-saver.
What Is It?
Blinq is a free digital business “card” tool that lets you share all of your contact info with a link or a QR code that you can add to your digital wallet. It’s clean, customizable, and throws out those 90 awkward and silent seconds while sharing your socials with a new person.
Create a digital card that holds:
Name, title, email, phone
LinkedIn, Instagram, Calendly, etc.
Generate your own shareable QR Code and Link.
View + Download your QR code to use on presentations, dorm doors, email footers, etc. AND add it to your digital wallet for quick access.
Let others add you to their contacts in one tap — no app needed.
So next time you’re at the career fair or even the Spring fair, cut typing in your name on a stranger’s phone and turn them into a quick connection.
How Do You Use It?
One of the best parts about Blinq is the creativity associated with how you use it.
Go to blinq.me
Sign up and create your free card.
Add whatever links/info you want. Maybe you run a newsletter and want to share that 😉.
Customize your card color, profile pic, etc.
Copy your card URL and download your QR code to your wallet.
Share yourself anyway you want with Blinq. Whip out the QR code when you meet someone interesting, or maybe print it out and tape it to your dorm door (might be the strat 🤷♂️).
Bonus Tip: put your Blinq link on your resume instead of your LinkedIn link so recruiters can see more.
What Does It Replace?
What Blinq really replaces is the wasted time when making connections and sharing your profiles. And of course, time is productivity (won’t stop preaching this). But here are a few more things it can replace.
Paper business cards. There’s times you need those, but most of the time, you really don’t.
Awkwardly typing in your number or LinkedIn profile on someone’s phone.
Linktree (not as professional).
Hours of cold emailing. Meet the right person with a tap and skip the pipeline.
Blinq can share your entire digital presence in seconds. And if that leads to one client, job offer, or partnership? It’ll be the laziest productivity win of all time.
That’s all for now. Hope you read this,
Tulio.
