Door to door.
Once, while looking for a specific address in a small town, and not finding
it, I picked out a likely looking house and knocked on the door. The lady
who answered said that the people I was looking for lived down the street. I
thanked her and then casually mentioned that I was going to tune the other
lady's piano. She  said, "I have a piano. Can you tune mine, too??" Yes, she
had a piano. And so did her sister and her sister in law and the neighbors
across the street, and their son, and their son's church, etc., etc., etc.
