Door knock from 4 till 7.30 maybe 8. Leaflet during the day unless you see someone is in and knock instead. Follow up the leaflets with evening canvassing. Vary when you clean. Being seen on a Saturday can work quite well as more people are around when you clean.

Thats called 'self employment' ;D
After two months you could be a third of the way to a £800-£1,000 a week business......or you could be on the way to giving up.
It all depends on you. Set yourself targets and don't stop till you reach them. Door knock EVERY NIGHT from 5pm to 8pm. Drop leaflets during the day so you can call back two days later in the evening and show the leaflet and say you put one in the door a day or two ago. Smile. Treat every door as though it's the first door you've knocked on - sound enthusiastic. When you've given it your best for 3 hours, go home. Be satisfied with what you get, then go out again the next night and do it all over.
If you can do this, you will succeed. If not, you may still succeed, but it will take an awful lot longer ;D
It can be done. I did it, year after year and built many rounds. All you need is staying power, if you want to do it, you will.......

The above was true ten years ago.
Trouble is, every Tom Dick and Harry has applied the same thinking and now there's MUCH less opportunities for start ups.

P.S. Listen to what Mr Lancaster and others have said has said ... if you want it then it will happen .. canvass between 4pm and 7pm and leaflet during day ......... obviously knock though if their home.
