For beginners, I feel X-cards are the best. If you are really, really new and not sure what to say when meeting people because you haven't finished reading the LaunchPads and other free articles in SFI, then you should buy the X-cards and drop them around town.
There is usually a fishbowl near the cashiers counter in most stores. Drop them there. The clerk who sifts through them might become interested. If you're lucky, the big boss would become interested and signs up as an ECA.
Taking the bus or train to work? Leave them on your chair or behind the chair in front of you. The next person might be looking for something to read while waiting for his next stop.
If you sell products out of a brick and mortar store, drop one into the customers shopping bag before handing it to them.
In the end, one of the recipients of the X-cards will probably make time to come see you to ask more details regarding SFI, especially if they are really interested. So my advice would still be to read up on the basics. You should graduate to face to face marketing one day, even if it is only as a challenge to yourself.
