I really hate when someone asks me for my card and I don’t have one. I have gotten the free ones that you see online, and I have made my own. Currently, I use the former, with the card being designed by a graphic designer. I usually pump out about 10- 20 of them a week. This also makes updating the cards easy. I still have several thousand with an old email and phone number.

Using the reverse side of the card is often missed.

I have two versions of my card. One for customers and one for prospects.

The customer card has a referral offer giving money of to someone they hand the card too.

The prospect card has a promotion for a free report online or available by post.

The other little trick someone told me was to hand the card reverse side up so you make sure people see your offer/message.

Business cards are an essential marketing tool as well as an easy way to share your resume (like you said above) wherever you go.

You also need to have a good introduction to go along with your business card so that you can make a good impression – try to practice in front of a mirror so that it comes across perfectly.

Look into staples, you can get a good amount of cards for less then 20 dollars if you don’t need any frills.

John, absolutely excellent advice! I’m continually telling writers, regardless of their level or area of expertise to invest in business cards. I do like your tip for having a different card for writers who write in different areas, such as fiction or non-fiction freelance. I’m glad I stopped by.
