A short YouTube #shorts by Phil Risher arguing that a simple $50 referral incentive printed on business cards outperforms costly Google Ads. The speaker recommends giving out cards to contacts and partners, adding a QR code that links to a referral submission (which populates a spreadsheet), tracking referrers, and rewarding successful referrals via Venmo, gift card, or similar.

This is a $50 business card. That's crushing Google Ads. Every single business should make a business card that says, refer us and get $50. That business card can be passed out to anyone that you know, B2B partners, people in the community, anyone that said, hey, I'll refer you on that business card. You put a little QR code on that QR code. When they scan it, it allows them to submit a referral to you. When they submit the referral, have it go into a spreadsheet, and then you can track who sent you the referral. And then you send them Venmo or a gift card or something that says thank you. If you don't know what to do. This is literally free. What I just. It will help you get customers. That's why every business should have a $50 business.
