Remember the ‘90s? You went to a networking event, shook someone’s hand, and handed them a business card. Then what? It went into their wallet, sat in a desk drawer, or got washed in the laundry next to a crumpled receipt from Blockbuster.
Fast forward to now — nobody keeps paper. If someone does, they probably can’t find it. But what they will do? Click a link on their phone. That’s why a bio-link is the new business card.
Why Paper Doesn’t Cut It Anymore
Cards get lost. Links don’t.
Cards can’t be updated. Your link can — instantly.
Cards don’t track clicks. A bio-link tells you exactly what’s working.
GenX knows the pain. We spent years carrying stacks of cards, only to realize they ended up in the trash. The digital version is leaner, smarter, and way less awkward.
What a Bio-Link Does Better
One Link, Many Paths. Instead of cramming tiny text on cardstock, your page can point people to your store, socials, projects, or portfolio.
Real-Time Updates. New job? New hustle? Just edit your page — no need to reprint.
Mobile-Friendly. Let’s be honest, if it doesn’t fit in a phone, it doesn’t exist.
Brand Personality. Fonts, colors, and visuals make your page feel you. Cards just… sit there.
Why It Works for GenX
We’re a practical bunch. We like efficiency. We also know nostalgia has its place (yes, we loved our metal card holders), but we’ve got no time for clutter. A bio-link gives us all the professional credibility without the extra baggage.
Plus, it’s way cooler to say, “Here’s my link — everything you need’s in there,” than to fish around for bent cardstock in your pocket.
Quick Action Step
Open your GenXLink page and make it your new “business card.” Add your:
Job or hustle link.
Social handle you actually use.
Contact button.
That’s it. Share that link instead of handing out paper.
Business cards were fine in their time, like payphones and dial-up. But now? A bio-link is faster, cleaner, and unforgettable.
Because let’s face it: nobody remembers the card. But they’ll remember the person who made it easy to connect.
