QR Code Monkey for Free QR Codes -- We Should All Take Our Own Advice

I recently recorded a podcast in which I encouraged musicians and creators to consider advertising themselves via QR Code because I scanned one, finding a musician with a pretty significant following.   I share how I learned to make an actual free QR code (something that used to be easy to do!) by getting bamboozled by a so-called free code -- I did this to promo my side art business (part of it) and I'll continue to update you all to see, in action, how my advice actually works in the long run.
