5 Minute Hack- METHOD- $190 Weekly Making QR Codes

I thought this would work 6-7 years ago, but no one paid any attention. You can try it if you like, but it's a complete waste of time. Cold emailing is impossible to get this to work. It might make more sense to go street-by-street and pitch it to businesses, but even then, no one would pay for it.

I think same like this.

Method will work, that's for sure, but in reality, it would be very hard to get many sales.

But at least we have a good idea.
 
This is a really great idea to make some money!
As other members said there are a competition but an idea its an idea.

As someone that can code, I would create my own code instead of using another one.
Nice share!
 
Fact is that people buy everything, so never believe that people won't buy something.

Don't be ridiculous! People buy [insert_any_keyword] Dot.


You need to have skills. For example, guy who shared this post, created super basic message to reach people out.

It almost feels like an AI.


Check this out:


Yo brother. It's Mark. I was around [business] couple of times this month /or year. Bro it sucks you don't have a QR code in 2025. Matter of fact, i code this stuff myself. If you want to get one, let me know, I will do a discount for your store 50% so only $25.



This can also be expanded to re-branding their website for a much higher fee, using free AI tools you need zero coding skills.

Everything is solved with simple communication. But you need to act as human, not a generic message. I can't stand to read that BS.

That's dope. Having the ability to code definitely gives you leverage. That could take this method to a different level. Plus it allows you to have more control.
 
I sat and thought about how I wanted to approach my posts on BHW. I want to use my presence here positively without overdedicating my time.
There are so many people on here who are looking for the small wins, which I asked about in a previous post. We all have our own way of doing things, and some people want what they want. So I decided that I will be posting "5-minute hacks" for the guys who want to make a few dollars in a short amount of time. Whether you want to create some kind of cash flow for a business idea or make extra money for a bill, I will try to drop quick gems daily.

The Hack


If you know anything about the internet, then you know that QR codes are everywhere. Coaches use them for payment links, restaurants use them for menus, and small businesses use them to connect customers to their social media or website.

This 5-minute hack is going to show you how to create professional-looking QR codes in less than 5 minutes and sell them to small businesses for $20 each.



Step 1
You are going to figure out what type of QR code you wish to create. Don't overthink it. Just pick one and grab the link that you need.

⦁ A restaurant’s online menu
⦁ A business Instagram or Facebook page
⦁ A payment link (like PayPal or Cash App)
⦁ An event landing page

Step 2
Head over to QR Code Monkey and enter the link that you chose.

Step 3
You are going to make it stand out by adding the business’s brand identity.

All the colors used should match the business, and the logo should be added in the center. Make sure that you choose a rounded or dotted style.

Step 5
This is where the hustle begins. You are going to approach the business you chose and email them.


Sample Email:

Hi (Business Name)
I hope all is well. I enjoy your (products/services/food etc). My name is (Name), and I noticed that you do not have a custom QR code for your business. I created a sample one for you so that customers like me can scan and connect instantly. I would love to talk further on how you would like me to deliver this QR code to you. I have attached a sample here so you can get an idea of what your branded QR code looks like. Let me know if you'd like me to brand it further before I deliver the final copy.
Do not hit them with a price until they show interest. Once they show interest, you will inform them that the QR code is $20
Make sure that the sample you showcase has a watermark so it can not be stolen.




Is this Scalable?
Absolutely. If you really wanted to take it to the next level, you could offer this service on platforms such as Toptal, Crowdspring, Designhill, Freeup. The great thing about QR codes is that if a target client uses a QR code they will likely need more, which will allow you to create repeat customers.




Client Acquisition /Revenue Projection
Pricing Plan:
⦁ Single QR Code: $20
⦁ Bundle (3 Codes): $50


Weekly Projection
Let's assume you average at least 5 clients a week

Singles (2 clients × $20) = $40
Bundles (3 clients × $50) = $150

Total Weekly Revenue: $190


Monthly Projection
Let’s assume you average 1 new client per day, @20 clients per month, with a balanced mix of singles and bundles:

40% singles → 8 clients × $20 = $160
60% bundles → 12 clients × $50 = $600

Total Monthly Revenue: $760




If you were to promote more bundles, making your sales at least 80% bundles, that would equate to $800/month
Get a few testimonials under your belt, and you can then up the price from $50 to $60, which would push you to $1000+/month

I've painted you a picture with a five-minute hack. Now go frame it.
Solid little side hustle. QR codes are so simple but most small biz owners don’t realize they can get them custom branded in minutes. Couple of tips if you wanna scale this:


  • Don’t just sell any QR code, offer design + logo embedding so it looks pro.
  • Bundle it with a digital card / mini landing page (Linktree-style). Makes your $20 offer worth $50+.
  • Target niches that hand out physical stuff — restaurants, salons, gyms, event planners. They need QR codes for menus, waivers, booking links, etc.
  • Once you’ve got a client, upsell them into monthly services (social media, flyer design, etc.).

It’s a low-ticket door opener, but it can lead to bigger recurring clients if you position it right :cool:

That is exactly what the starter hustles are about. I like the idea of taking the QR code and offering designs + logo because it becomes a service that the average small business CAN'T do themselves.
 
but it still old method and such qrcode generators are everywhere and why they should pay to you if they can go to google and get it for free
