How to Promote Your Music Video with a QR Code

Dropped a new music video but struggling to get views?

Here’s a fast-growing hack used by smart musicians and content creators:

🎥 Use a QR code.

Whether you’re performing live, shipping merch, or running ads — a QR code linking to your video gets fans watching immediately.

Let’s break down how to use this strategy to drive views, shares, and subscribers.


🚀 Why QR Codes Are a Music Video Power Move

Most artists just drop a YouTube link and hope for the best. But today’s fans need instant access — with zero friction.

QR codes let you:

  • 📲 Reach fans offline and on-stage
  • 🔁 Promote across social, merch, and posters
  • 📈 Track who scans and when
  • ✨ Create a branded, music-first experience

With MusicBizQR, you don’t just drop a link — you deliver an entire music video funnel.


🛠️ How to Promote Your Video with MusicBizQR

1. Create a Music Video Smart Link

Inside MusicBizQR, build a page with:

  • 🎥 Embedded YouTube or Vimeo player
  • 🎧 Song preview or full stream
  • 🛍️ Merch or pre-save buttons
  • 📬 Email signup
  • 📊 Click and scan analytics

This becomes your central hub for the video — mobile-friendly and branded.


2. Generate a Branded QR Code

Match your QR code to your video’s aesthetic:

  • Album art colors
  • Tour branding
  • Single cover or thumbnail

Download a high-res QR for printing or digital promo.


3. Place Your QR Code Everywhere
