Business Cards for your blog

Hi All,

This past weekend I had the opportunity to do a lot of word of mouth advertising for my blog. While I took every chance I had, I would get more traffic if I had a business card for my blog(s). Does anybody know any sites that will let you design your own card for free?

You could just use Word and get the cards to print on at Staples.

  Do you mean prepare the image for the business card and take the image to staples and get them to print it? Or just print them off myself using Word?

Yes, but I don't know which file it's in. I haven't used any of these sites because the difficulty is that any free site you use will have all your personal information and you could be subjected to mega spamming. Let me check and I'll get back to you.

Funny I was just looking at this site - www.vistaprint.com/vp/pSearch/topDeals.aspx?GP=6/8/2008+8:01:25+PM

I'm retired so I can't really call them business cards - Calling cards?

I've decided on the following very basic info

How would you use these cards to promote your blog?

  Thanks for the link, I have some free ones on order. As for how would it promote your blog, every time you have a chance to talk to someone about your blog, even if you don't mention that you make money from it or not you don't have to write down the URL. I was speaking with an artist this past Saturday about doing some illustrations for my web-novel, if I had a card I wouldn't have to chase the artist around, the artist could use my card to find me. A business card for your blog just helps with word-of-mouth advertising which is one of the most powerful forms of advertising.

  I'm glad to see that I don't have to go through all my files as your question has been answered.

Vistaprint in its introductory offers, offers a couple hundred business cards for the cost of shipping. I think it is something like $4 for 300 business cards.

Business card for your blog?
Great idea, but how much it is going to cost?
