Home users with improperly configured wireless networks are BROADCASTING a need to technical help! Create a flyer outlying the negitives to running an improperly configured wireless network. Inform the inhabitants of the house that you scanned them and noticed that they have a serious security flaw. Usually this is a generic router name with a default password or disabled security keys. Offer to help configure the network to be more secure and to offer a short training class on how to use wireless securely. This service should cost between 50-500 dollars depending on configuration and could very well be a lead to more work.
If nobody is home it SHOULD be possible to leave them a note and a contact number/email and get callbacks.
Door to door system backups and recovery disk creation

Door to door work is hard without having a few tangible services ready to sell. A good service is to offer to create complete system restore disk sets for a users machine. Educate them on the joys of backups and create the dvd disk sets using your mobile kit for them to restore to if they need later. This is a good ice breaker sale and is non-invasive to the users machine.
Great for leaving a business card, easy as pie to do, and can range from 10-200 dollars. Some unscrupulous agents are known to always have a screensaver on disk that shows an old school text application with a really slow progress bar on it for 'per hour' jobs.
