I watched the prior video first, then saw the link for this one. These are the best for information which I didn't get in other videos. Thank you!
Thanks for watching both of my videos!! have a great day!!! let me know if you have any questions!
To say your video was helpful is an understatement! I followed along and created my first business card ever! Thank you for the awesome information share!
Your instruction, pace and tools were perfect!!!! I am so grateful for your service to the TH-cam community.
Thank you for your encouragement!!! And thank you for watching!! Have a wonderful day!!
I bought the nfc ring and your info helped me to set it up so I definitely appreciate you!!! I need friends like you!!
Glad I could help! Thanks for your comment!
I like that...
just watched the previous one....thank you so much
Thanks dude! Very helpful video.
Thank you very much for the videos about NFC, they helped me a lot, I work with 3d printing producing samples, and often the salespeople in my company want to know what material was used, time to print and mechanical properties, to show customers, and then I thought of putting these NFC tags inside the printed parts. I believe it will help salespeople and is a great way to make a good impression in front of the customer.
Yep yep ... Good luck!!
LOVE IT THANKS MIN CHEN!!
Wow, once again yur stuff is right on. Created my digital business card w/ NFC tag & QR code. Scan either & my contacts show on the phone & can b saved locally, & w/o any internet. Thx 4 sharing on Unternet.
Thank you! So informative and after watching your video i legit went to go buy the stuff.
I am so glad you found my video helpful... please let me know if you have any questions... good luck!!
Really helpful especially the links. Thank you
Love it.
Thanks. Roll Tide. Some phones such as my Samsung A51 and my old Huawei Ascend XT 2 have native QR code generators for contacts baked in the software.
Thanks!
Great video! QR codes are here to stay.
Yep they are!
Just discovered this TH-cam channel. It’s just what I was looking for a content creator with good content. Keep it going man.
Thanks for the encouragement!!
Thanks Min, the content and video editing is so helpful to understand. Can you please create a video with using android. Thanks again and your content is much appreciated.
you are great!
Love how excited you are and I'm excited to learn this - thank you!
Thank you for this video, it is very clear and easy to follow! Do you have any recommendations of a simple blank nfc card to buy to then use the nfc tool you talked about in your video?
you can use any NFC cards you wish... I have few in the descriptions. Yes just use the NFC Tools to program them. Good luck!
wait this IS GENIUS!!!
Great Content! Is the QR-Code Dynamic? Secondly, what can be used application can be used to modify the information encoded on the QR-Code?
No the QR codes that is shown in this video is not dynamic. You can use websites like I recommended in the video to create dynamic QR codes, but it will cause you a subscription fee... I made my own and I will be publishing a video on that soon... so stay tuned. As far as modification ... you can't modify information on the QR code.
Really cool technology. Starting a new business and this is convenient. Does it also collect contact information of the person scanning your card?
In this one it doesn’t collect any information from the scanner… but the part 2 version you can get things like location
Very helpful vedio
How can we edit our NFC card information,if we want to add some other information??
Just use NFCtools.. good luck!!
Awesome video, awesome channel! If I understand the concept correctly, I can buy just a small cheap NFC tag and then write my details on it using the NFC Tools app?
Yep you got it!
How can I add my profile picture to the QR Code Generator website? It looks like when you scan the QR code in the video I saw the profile picture.
I sincerely appreciate your video. Do you know a source for a completely blank (no writing / no logo) black business card with an NFC already inside - that works with newer iPhones? That I can program from my iPhone, that can be read by another person's iPhone?
I think this is what you are looking for? amzn.to/3rCCZHz .. good luck...
wow nice! , after the card is done, can we laminate it ( for durability) and will it still works?
Yep of course
hey, i wonder why my iphone 12 pro max didnt detect the nfctag. do u know why?
This is great! But how can I make a QR Code with and existing VCF contact file rather than the limited fields available in QR Cod Generator? Thanks for your help.
Yes… you can have the url point to the vcf file
Hello from New York City! Can a large data capacity NFC tag hold BOTH a web link for iPhone and a Vcard file specifically for Android users? Thank you for informative video. Happy Monday to you.
Hello there... I love NYC.. I was just there few weeks ago for the US Open. Anyways to answer your questions the vcard file (VCF) in the demo is just another URL. unfortunately it will only hold one URL. however, the NFC does have contact fields, however that information is not automatically picked up by IOS. It's useful to take a look at NFCtools app. It will help you out. Good luck and thanks again for watching my videos.
Thank you, excellent video. I also placed a NFC Tag on the back of my iPhone for tapping. How can I keey my vcf profile from popping up on my own phone. Thanks
Place the nfc sticker lower on your phone… the reader is high close to the camera… good luck!!
@@minhsao Darn, I place it right beside the camera lens. Will create another one and place it lower as you suggested. Printing my QR codes now for sticking on the back of those "double" business cards. Thanks again, it was a great informative video
@@hughdemand I am glad you enjoy it!! Thanks for watching!!! Have a great day!!
Loved your video. Buy did not work with me. I have s21 android . I place the v card on Dropbox and made it offline problem when I test it .land's Me to the Dropbox page. Ask me to login or use browser . Then ask me to download. Can I make this in a simple way?
try my follow up video.th-cam.com/video/vi0QdHSM8NM/w-d-xo.html ... good luck!
hi, thank you for sharing.
this card can track CRM?
check out this video.. th-cam.com/video/vi0QdHSM8NM/w-d-xo.html by using a service you will be able to track more of who scanned and where. Good luck
Great video. I'm using a service for my agents to get these but I want to bring it in-house over the next few months. Do you have any recommendations for printers to make the cards custom?
do you mean custom business cards or do you mean printing on a plastic ntag215 cards ... if its the latter then try these printers... amzn.to/3ufy4y6 ..but you will need to buy the NFC cards (amzn.to/3s8Byjg) separate. Good luck!!
@@minhsao It was the latter. Appreciate that.
@@minhsao Which one is the best Nfc tag or Qrcode?Please tell me
@@zainzia2573 Personally I like NFC tags better because it is really cool just Tap and Go. However, the QR codes are more flexible and will work on almost any device that will scan an QR code.... so trade offs...Thanks again for your question and support !!! Good luck!
@@minhsao ok Thank you for telling me but how do it nfc tool lock 🔒 and unlock 🔓 ? Tell me
How about the QR Code on the card
I don't have an i phone to test it yet
just wondering the app lest you write multiple record
if tried putting a v card and an url
with android it will read the v card
just wondering if ios would just jump to the second record and use the url
iOS will only read the URL
Hi! Yor nfc videos área great. Is ir posible yo share your location using Tap and go ir vía scanning a QR? The location Is provided by the device you use. Please help.
Yes actually there is a way... but it requires a click on the users to approve of it. I was working on a video to do just that but things got busy and haven't come back to that yet.... but maybe I will make one again soon.
Hey there - thank you for this video, super helpful. Any idea why after I’m setting the NFC card with the website link, when I’m trying to tap it with my iPhone, nothing happens?
Make sure your browser is default to safari
@@minhsao Still not working... I've turned off and on the airdrop, which helps other NFC functions to work, like opening a phone number, but still, this is not openings a URL link. That is so weird…
Great, thank you!
Do you know how to make it works on Android? It seems to work only with Safari but not with Chrome. Cheers
It is dependent on the phone. This demo and most of the commercial smart business cards are banking on that most people have iPhones. The default iPhone browser is Safari and it works well with safari to pull up contact etc. I am sure you can do the same with certain android phones, but some may require manual config. I do not have any android phone so I can't test it. Maybe I will get one if this channel gets big enough or if this video hits 1M views :). Good luck!
Greta videos, I just got mine today, I added multiple links IG,TH-cam,Tiktok but only one pops up. Do I must have link tree in order for each one to work.?
Thanks in advance
unfortunately, Iphone will only pick up one URL... so if your URL is linked to Linktree or something similar then it should be a link that points to other links... good luck!
Would the nfc sticker in between the 2 business cards BUT in a clear badge holder still work ?
It should work just fine
Does the nfc function work without any internet connection on the phone??? Most of us here don’t use mobile data, so kinda hard to share info if it requires internet
Yes and no... so there is a way to store contact info into the NFC, but iphone doesn't pick that up automatically. That is an implementation flaw of the Apple iPhone. So to do that you will need to manually open up a NFC reader. So the short answer is NO based on this video's implementation we will need to have an internet connection to access the URL to the vcf file. But again that is why there is the second method of using the QR code, which I talked about in this video. Thanks for your question and good luck!
Please how do i create my own platform to hold my clients data.?
I want to create business out from this .
what do you mean you want to hold your clients data? please explain more. you maybe able to use something like google sheets and google form?
Question, Can you set the NFC to notify you of a specific NFC that was scanned? - I work off referrals. I would love to be able to leave an NFC with one of my referral partners let their customers scan that NFC so they have my info, but also know which partner referred that customer
I got you.
Yes that’s a great idea and yes it it totally doable!! But to do this you will use different URLs that can be linked to the same VCF. You can use a url shortener to do that and simpler look at the number of times that shorten address has been triggered. I hope this makes sense and helps.. good luck!
If you are just storing a link in the NFC and it has analytics then sure! Well assuming an IP address and relative location is good enough... Time and date too.... Just make sure you use a free link provider with metrics
So how does the person whom I’m sharing my contact info to actually save the contact info to their phone? I’ve watched some of your other videos and I made my url info through drop box. It works as you’ve shown in videos but how do that person actually save my contact info in their phone? Hopefully my question makes sense?
Once it pops up as a contact just create it as new contacts on their phone… I hope this helps
Good morning, in the meantime, I congratulate you on your videos.
I have a question: I tried to follow your instructions and it works, but instead of saving the vcf file on Dropbox, it is not possible to indicate in NCF Tools the path of the file inside the iphone?
Let me explain better: if NCF Tools through the specified dropbox address, displays the vcf file, in the same way, if you could put the address of the vcf file (which is already inside the iphone), it should not work the same?
But I don't know how to indicate the path of a file inside the iPhone.
Then, I have another question:
If we send our business card to the other person's cell phone via the Dropbox link, how does he then save it in the contacts?
I have not succeeded.
Thanks in advance and congratulations again for your videos.
Roberto.
Yes .. it maybe possibel to get the NFT tool to point a path inside the iphone... but it was be the path inside the scanner's iphone which will not have the vcf file or the contact information. The best way is to have the NFC itself to have the contact information as part of the memory, it is possible, but IOS doesn't support auto NFC scan for this field.... good luck!
@@minhsao Thanks for the reply.
In the end I decided to get to the vcf file with a link and place the file in the datrabase of my site.
But a strange thing happens, the iphone reads the nfc card, opens the contact and saves it in the phone.
With Android, it doesn't ask me to save the number on my mobile, but it asks me where to download the vcf file.
What am I doing wrong?
I noticed that the nfc vcards that are on sale open a kind of page (it looks like a landing page), and then from there, they allow the contact to be saved on the phone using a button.
But with android, it always asks to download the vcf file.
In your opinion, is it complicated to build a page to which the link of the nfc points and then from there, make it so that through a button you can save the contact in the phone?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the many questions.
Congratulations again for what you publish.
Roberto.
@@robertomorzone1480 Thanks again for watching my video. No it is not difficult to create your home html and have it linked to various places including to your VCF file. I've even played with it using Wordpress. However, depending on what is your goal, if it is for business or just like me to figure things out and see how it works, you can DIY if it is for fun, or use a service that can provide you with visitor stats, etc. Check out my latest video, which talks about this exact topic. th-cam.com/video/vi0QdHSM8NM/w-d-xo.html. thanks again for your comments and good luck!!
Hi! do anyone knows any other website where I can create de QR code, that is for free? this one stop working after de trial.
www.qrcode-monkey.com/ ???
Is the reason a photo wasn’t showing up, once you tapped on the NFC tag, was because you didn’t save it with a photo in your contacts?
Just a couple of my thoughts. I don't see that many phones, especially android phone's that support nfc.
My work around accomplishing the same thing is to create a vcf contact qrcode as you did in the video and then download it and store it on my cell phone.
When I want to share it I just open the code in my phone and the person I'm sharing it to scans the code with their phone and my contact info is immediately download to their phone.
And by the way, "war eagle" 😀
War Eagle!!
yeah... QR code is actually a good work around!!!
How can I included a pdf file like CV Resume on the contact info so they xan view the resume directly without a link ?
you can't put the entire CV on the NFC tag or QR code... but you can put the link to the CV in the NFC tag or QR code. I hope this helps. Good luck!
Hey, thank you for that video. I tried to follow all the steps you've showed in it, but when I scan the card it just opens my browser and try to download the file .vcf (I'm using chrome).
yeah... you need to set your default browser on your iPhone to safari. safari will auto launch... good luck!
@@minhsao Thank you for your answer. 🙏 Indeed, while I was using chrome it didn't work but now it does with safari.
Does it auto scan on iphone or u need to open nfc on iphone?
Auto scan! If you have safari as your default browser!! Good luck!
Have you got any smart ide if I have multiple profiles or businesses and want to use the same card for all of them? With Vise for example you can switch between profiles. like dynamics links or something with an easy way to switch between them. I thank you in advance.
Best Regards Joakim
Yeah... so did you know that V1ce actually don't change anything in the cards. In short, they are using a URL forwarder, and when they say you can change it dynamical, it is simply changing the forwarding URL. So I can actually accomplish this by using a URL shortener and then use the Shorten URL as the link inside the NFC. Then when I want to change where it is going, I simply change the URL inside the URL shortener site and I now have a way to switch between different vcf . I hope this makes sense and helps. If there are interest I may make a video on it. Good luck!
@@minhsao I did not know that. That is Good to know. It will help for sure. Then you use the same trick for the QR Code. Thank you
@@joakimus74 yep same trick for QR codes… good luck!!!
@@minhsao Do you any good for a shorter. Were I can save the short addresses and cache the URL as you suggest? Thank you in advance.
@@joakimus74 There are few vendors out there that provide URL shortening services… however, I did not trust them… so the only other option is to roll your own. I built one using yourls.org … I actually registered a shorten domain name and hosted yourls in docker. It works pretty well and I can control and manage my own shorten URL and do dynamic QR / NFC tags.
Is there a possibility to put 2 NFCs in one card? One with a URL for IPhone and the other one for VCF for Android.
it is possible, but you may get interference ... I would stick with one NFC
How does this work when you share your card with someone who has an android or other phone? Will it work as long as it has NFC?
It will work with iPhone, but with android it various because depending on the version of the device NFC may not be natively enabled. Unfortunately NFC reading is not a universal standard. Good luck.
What about android ? it is working worst on android. Vcard is working so well in android but how to be in this situation if I wanna just one card for both ?
yeah... the card with the URL should would for both iPhone and Android. It's not up to the card but, the phone hardware... the pop up is a feature within the phone. Good luck!
Hi Min, if we build on WP, can others save our contact when scan?
Not sure what you mean?
Could you use a Linktree ?
Yep sure can
Can the person who taps my card or scans it download the information that pops up?
Yep … that is the point… they can and store it in their contacts… good luck!!
Sticker on the back of my cell.
War Eagle!
War Eagle!!
Not sure what I am doing wrong but it seems to be writing and reading but when I exit out of the NFC tools app it will not read. I made sure NFC was active in my control center. Suggestions?
Which iPhone do you have?
@@minhsao 8+ but getting a 13 pro max this week
I never heard of nfc cards
Will this work with Androids?
Yes for the QR code and maybe for the NFC … depending on your android all android phone are different and are not uniformed like Apple iPhones of the same gen
Why do you need to stick them together instead of just using one nfc card that’s what there meant for
I was using 2 regular business card and one nfc sticker... so I stick them together so you don't see the NFC sticker. Yes you can use a single NFC card, but then you have to print them. Thank is all.. and thank you for your comment. have as great day!
*OMG iphone Can't use QR for ANY data! Only a URL.... Even though you can store any data whatsoever. No wonder my QR Vcards never work on iPhone. Thxs!! Man that is dumb though if apple doesn't think a feature is useful it's just disabled smh*
how about vcard instead of drop box?
yep.. that's what was used in the video is vcard
@@minhsao Well I will have to watch it again. thank you.
Why not just pay the $20 and have all this available on a dot card? Does it not work with iPhone?
for me it is because I get joy out of figuring out how things work and I don't have to pay 20 dollars for something that is so simple. But each to their own. Good luck and thanks for watching my video.
After 12 days qr code is stop work why ?? Please help me
what do you mean it stop working? where are you generating the QR code?
was hoping to see a clarification on what types of NFC chips I should get... as there is a million different variations
at least help chose between: NTAG - ISO14443 V.S. ICODE - ISO15693 Chips.
The ones that I used are NTAG215, which BTW, links are in the video descriptions. amzn.to/3CKsEwc or amzn.to/3xprQKv . But in reality since we are just storing an URL, I don't think the size really matters that much. But NTAG215 is what I had in hand and what worked in this video. Good luck!
