How to Share Your Portfolio Digitally with a Business Card

One link to showcase your work and make connections

Creatives, freelancers, and consultants need more than a name and email on their card. NexaLink lets you embed portfolio links, project galleries, and demo reels right on your digital card so new connections can see your work the moment they scan your code.

NexaLink Digital Business Card

Before You Start

  • NexaLink app installed
  • Digital business card created
  • Portfolio hosted online

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Organize Your Best Work

Select five to eight portfolio pieces that represent your skills and the type of work you want to attract.

Tip: Quality over quantity. Only showcase work you are proud of and want more of
2

Host Your Portfolio Online

Upload your work to a portfolio site like Behance, Dribbble, your personal website, or a shared Google Drive folder.

Tip: Make sure the portfolio loads quickly on mobile since most people will view it from their phones
3

Add Portfolio Links to Your NexaLink Card

In the NexaLink card editor, add custom links pointing to your portfolio, specific projects, or case studies.

Tip: Use descriptive link labels like 'View My Design Portfolio' rather than generic text
4

Add a Brief Creative Statement

Write one to two sentences in your card bio explaining your creative focus and the kind of projects you take on.

Tip: This primes the viewer before they click through to your portfolio
5

Share at Industry Events and Online

Use your card at creative meetups, client pitches, and on social media to drive portfolio views.

Tip: Track which portfolio links get the most clicks to understand what resonates with your audience

Frequently Asked Questions

Do recipients need the NexaLink app?

No. When someone scans your QR code, taps your NFC, or clicks your link, your card opens as a mobile-optimized webpage in their browser. They can save your contact directly — no download required.

Can I update my card after sharing it?

Yes. Change your job title, phone number, or company and every person who received your card sees the update instantly. No reprints, no re-sharing — one card, always current.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 1 digital card, basic templates, QR code sharing, and 10 card scans per month — with no time limit or credit card required. Upgrade to Pro ($5.99/month) for unlimited cards and NFC sharing.

How is this different from a paper business card?

Paper cards can't be updated, don't track engagement, and get lost in pockets. A digital card stays current, shows you who viewed it, and lets recipients save your contact in one tap.

What sharing methods are available?

Five options: QR code (they scan it), NFC tap (phone-to-phone, Pro feature), direct link (text or email), Apple Wallet, and Google Wallet. Pick whichever fits the moment.
