As been said if you canvass canvass and do no cleaner and hit the right areas you may do it,

I think it took me 4 months with no canvassing and working a fulltime job too.  I seem to hit the right areas.

older men yes,younger 1s dont give a damn.make sure your work is good,and word of mouth will be a big help. and dont be afraid to drop bad customers straight away as they are a pain in the ass no matter how long you try and change them. better with 100 good 1s than 200 bad 1s
