Right click and print or save PDF file to a USB flash drive for printing later at a Copy Shop. Hand out some business cards to strike up a conversation with people you meet during the day.

I made a business card that prints out on a two column by five in a row, 2" x 3.5" card on a 8.5" x 11" Letter size paper or 80 lb card stock. You can find the business card here: http://kliktel.org/business_cards/BenCarson_LibreOffice_BC1a_QR.pdf You can take this file down to your copy shop (Office Max, Office Depot, Staples, FedEx Office center) and print out a few sheets on 80lb card stock. Have them cut them out for you or shear the cards your self.
You can download http://LibreOffice.org software writer software and modify the source .ODT file by right click and save as http://kliktel.org/business_cards/BenCarson_LibreOffice_BC1a_QR.odt
