By leaving x-Cards on bulletin boards, tables, washrooms, in library books on marketing, with tips, etc., you are getting them out to where the public is, but is this the most effective way to use them? Chances are that most of them will be thrown away without being read.
The most effective way to give them out is by doing it face to face with some words about the opportunity. "I've been in this for some time and I am looking for a few more people who want help setting up their own home business." If you leave it at that, they may or may not check it out. At least they have a face and an impression about your honesty, integrity and ability whether they are right or not. It's up to you to give a good impression. Ask them to give the card to someone they know is looking for that kind of opportunity.
Go two steps further, offer and do put your name and phone or email on the cards for his convenience. Don't put this on before you talk to him. That way you have a little control over who has that information. And then ask if he would give his contact information to you. Write that on another X-Card so that you know what he is looking at.
Now you have the information you need to make a follow-up call and thank him for taking your card. Ask him if he checked it out and what he thinks about it. Did he give the card to another person? Will he introduce you to that person?
This all takes practice but you will get better as you go. There's no guarantee that this card won't be thrown away, but you might get two birds with one shot.
And don't forget to use a key code on the cards that you personally hand out and another key code on the ones you leave places.
