FREE QR Code from Google - I didn't know?

FREE QR Code from Google For years, creating a simple QR code felt like it should be easy—but somehow never was. Every time I needed one, I ended up on a third-party website that promised “free” QR codes, only to discover the catch later. Some made me pay to download a high-resolution image. Others worked for a while and then suddenly paused my code unless I upgraded to a monthly plan. A few even started showing ads or redirect screens before sending people to the link I actually wanted them to see. It was frustrating, especially when all I wanted was a clean, reliable QR code that sent readers straight where they needed to go.

How to Keep Children Reading Books? Motivating children to read more has become one of the biggest challenges for parents, educators, and—let’s be honest—authors too. After all, if kids don’t read, authors don’t survive. But this isn’t just about book sales. It’s about attention, imagination, and helping children discover that reading can be just as powerful as any screen in their hands. We’re raising kids in a world ruled by TikTok, social media, video games, YouTube, and streaming platforms. Even adults struggle. I’ll be the first to admit it—Netflix eats away at more of my time than I’d like to admit. If I weren’t actively writing a book series, I probably wouldn’t read nearly as much as I do. Between researching story ideas, reading books on writing, and enjoying a good mystery or fantasy novel, reading has become part of my job.
