Tumblr, Quora and Behance NFC Cards for Creatives and Experts

Tumblr, Quora and Behance NFC Cards for Creatives and Experts

Some professions are best shown, not described. If you design, illustrate, write or advise, the fastest way to win a client is to let them see your work. These three cards open the place where your work already lives.

Behance NFC card

Behance is a portfolio platform used by designers, illustrators, photographers, animators and creative agencies.

Best for:

  • graphic and UI designers at client meetings,
  • photographers and videographers,
  • creative agencies at pitches,
  • students at job fairs.

Link options: your full profile, or a single project you want to lead with. If you are pitching for a branding job, link your best branding project.

Tumblr NFC card

Tumblr is a blogging platform popular with artists, writers, poets and fan communities.

Best for:

  • artists and illustrators at fairs and conventions,
  • writers and poets sharing their blog,
  • fan communities and zine makers.

Link format: yourname.tumblr.com, or a link to a specific post.

Quora NFC card

Quora is a question-and-answer site. A strong Quora profile shows your expertise through your answers.

Best for:

  • consultants and advisers,
  • teachers and tutors,
  • authors and subject-matter experts,
  • professionals such as lawyers, doctors and accountants who want to show knowledge.

Link options: your profile, or a Quora Space you run.

Which should you choose?

  • Show visual work? Choose Behance.
  • Publish writing, art or fan content? Choose Tumblr.
  • Sell advice and knowledge? Choose Quora.
  • Have all three? Use the all-in-one card with a link page. Read Linktree and all-in-one cards.

Make your profile ready

Before you give cards out, check your profile:

  • a clear photo and name,
  • a short line about what you do,
  • three to six of your best pieces of work at the top,
  • contact details or a way to hire you.

Where to use them

  • Client meetings and pitches.
  • Job fairs and portfolio reviews.
  • Art shows and conventions.
  • Conferences and workshops.

Add LinkedIn for hiring

Recruiters usually check LinkedIn as well. A LinkedIn card covers that: see our LinkedIn card guide.

Common questions

Can I use one card for two platforms?

A card holds one link. For several platforms, use the all-in-one card with a link page.

Should I link a project or my whole profile on Behance?

For a specific pitch, link the most relevant project. For general networking, link your profile.

Are these cards useful for job hunting?

Yes. Handing a Behance or Quora link at an interview or job fair lets employers see real work.
