1. Get some professional looking flyers printed. Say on them who you are and what you do.
2. Plan your campaign - look at a map of your area and divide it into four sections (one for each week of your round)
3. In section no.1, go and put out as many leaflets as you think you could knock doors in about 2-3 hours.
4. Leave it for 2 days, then go and knock on every door where you left a leaflet.
5. Have a copy of your leaflet pasted to the cover of a clipboard, when the owner opens the door, hold up the leaflet and say, "Good (afternoon/evening/whatever) my name is Steve (always give your surname as well) and I put one of these through your door a couple of days ago."
If the leaflet is any good, it's already told them all they need to know, so they'll either say "No thank you" or "How much do you charge?"
At the end of the week move on to section no.2 and repeat steps 1-5. Do this until you have enough work
How easy do you want it?
