How Indian Freelancers can Create Business Cards in 2022

As a blogger or a freelancer in India and handling clients online, a business card isn’t going to be a very often-used item. Still, it is recommended to have one handy and carry it as, and when you have a chance to hand it over to someone, you are to meet as a potential client.

Because it isn’t going to require often, one can go for a premier design or something unique, and worth remembering. I had ordered a transparent business card in 2015 and still have it with me.

What Should be on a Business card?

As a freelancer, here is the list of information you can add to your business card.

• Name: An essential aspect of the business card is your name, and it should be prominent on it.
• Logo: Your company logo or your name as a logo should be part of the card.
• Job Title: Owner, partner, Business consultant – anything that suits your role. Check what the right job title for freelancers and startup owners is?
• Mobile No: Your mobile number at a prominent position on the card.
• Phone No: If you wish to have a number where someone can get in touch with your team, add a landline number.
• Email: Your email address where the client can get in touch with you. Don’t use free email services providers like Gmail. Use a professional email address. Having a professional email address is a way to get your Upwork profile approved.
• Web address: As a freelancer, a website address is a must. A website gives the much needed professional touch to your business card.
• QR Code: QR Code is an easy way to get your contact details imported into a phone. Here is an excellent site that can help you generate the QR Code.
• Social Media: Other social media contact details like Facebook / Twitter or if you are a designer, link Flickr, or an Instagram profile.
