My New Business Cards Arrived Today

I was going to include a photo of my new card but I realize that not only does it have the url for my travel and genealogy blogs on it, it also has my phone number. I didn't put my address in the cards this time.
This is at least the 3rd, maybe even the 4th set of business cards I have had printed. Just when I think I am settled at a writing site, it closes so my cards are obsolete. Right now the only thing on my cards are my own blogs and I know I am not going to be shutting them down.
I realized at the genealogy conference last month when someone asked me for my business card that I didn't have one with me, I must have given out my last one in the Berkshires when I was there in June.
I put my picture on my card this time and kept it simple. I like them very much and they were really inexpensive. Hopefully, this box of cards will get used right to the bottom.

@BelleStarr I've gotten some cards from there in the past, but I couldn't use them after I got them because everything changed too quickly. I should get some cards now that my life is more stable.

You could take a photo of it then cross out the personal info on the pc through paint or whatever before uploading it. Or through the edit button and stuff if you do it through the phone..
I bet they look nice though.

These are pretty simple, I did put up the picture of the card but they will serve me well I think.

They sound great and I hope you use every last one up! My husband used to have business cards, but threw about half out when he retired.
. They were from the university since he was the chair of two departments. He had others for his consulting career. They do make good bookmarks and scratch paper now!

I've never had business cards. I feel unworthy! (hangs head.) Some people sure have some awesome designs, I almost with I had a need for them.

Because I am a travel writer and I get perks, I need to have a business card to hand out to prospective people who I want to sponsor me. I am also a very experienced genealogist and the girl who asked for my card had asked me a question and I had given her an answer which she liked. So I really do need them.

You can always link the other sites in your blog, so if they close its not on the cards.

I don't write anywhere for myself now except my blogs, I either ghostwrite for money or write my own posts.
