Linqsta is Changing The Social Networking Paradigm Using QR Code

LinQsta is a business social networking service which revolutionizes the way professionals connect with each other. Users can create a QR (quick response) barcode which becomes their 24/7 digital business card for new connections. This card displays their professional details, pictures, videos and social media pages through one scan. Once new contacts scan the code, they can add the user to their phonebook and to the in-built social network. The USP is that professionals can create visual impact and long term engagement with new customers, leading to more business and revenue.

Launched around the world in September 2012, the service ultimately enables users to get greater ROI from networking, more leads and more revenue. Users must register to use the service on www.LinQsta.com, where they proceed to creating a QR barcode profile, uploading the professional details they choose to be visible. Once completed they can share their digital business card in multiple ways such as:

1) Through the LinQsta iPhone app - card is accessible 24/7 all year.
2) Uploading the QR code onto their paper business card
3) Download QR code to email signature
4) Download QR code on all social media pages

Users can then complete an in-site profile page to highlight their professional and educational information, along with their value proposition, whilst being able to view and connect with others on the site.

LinQsta also enables business users to search and post jobs for free. Employers have an easy and effective route to find competent staff for free and job seekers can search by job title and any local and global location, view job descriptions and apply through the site.

Users can also publish professional blogs on the site and direct the world to their unique page. This enables users to engage, promote and add value to their contact based, again leading ultimately to business and revenue.

LinQsta was founded by Michael Suppo, who created the service to accommodate professionals who go to many networking events, hand out a business card and never get a call back. As a regular to networking events, he comments "The business world is craving for a connection tool without realizing it. Creating your impact is getting difficult in this increasingly competitive and interactive world and utilization of a tool, contra distinctive to paper business cards, is the way to go. LinQsta is an efficient and simple revolutionary networking service with the bonus of enabling users to go viral quickly".

QR codes are scanned a month, showing barcode scanning has emerged as the modern way to connect, and LinQsta is the main global social network to enable users to utilize this service effectively.
