Like others have said, its not all about quantity but its quality that counts.  Especially quality of price. 
I have stopped door knocking and leafleting estates and smaller houses but try and target bigger houses. My average price for domestic cleans is now over £20.  About 3 months ago it was about £15.

Veni, vidi, vino, splatus.

just over 330 regular domestics (pcm)
11 weekly commercial jobs (pubs, shops & a restaurant)
5 schools ( twice yearly)
2 small cleaning jobs (commercial properties)
and still growing.

all done by me on my lonesome, started trading (properly) in 2003.

4 days (mon to thurs) domestics.
1 day (fri) commercial.
then i just fit the other bits in between, sometimes saturdays (paths, patios, washdowns), but not too often.

they vary, small medium & large.
have managed to condense the work, so its all very close together.
330 isn't that many?
if i do 20 per day (4 days a week) for 4 weeks thats 320 houses (with the odd extra one or two hear & there on top of the days work).
if there's any extra bits left over i normally do them after my commercial on the friday (its normally an early finish, poets day).
plus if we get a 5 week month i get a few bonus days off,  time to catch up or what ever else comes along. ;D

ive been trading 12mths now and have just started the wfp cleaning side, i have 190 houses rangeing from £4.50 - £50.00 each, takes me 17 days a month to do all every 4 weeks, i dont take any one on who says can you do them every 6 weeks, as this screws my system up, still taking some new ones on ( bod passes them on), i think ill stop at the 200 mark as i will be letting people down if i cant do them, also i am a retained firefighter in my town , so my customers understand that saving someones life is more important than cleaning there windows, and they wait for the next clean the next month,
there is4 window cleaners in our area and i think i could say that we all earn a good wage every month,
so if you hit 100 in 6 mths you are doing well.
its also handy to be friends with other local window cleaners as they will pass work on to you if they are getting stacked out or they dont do the area you do, seem logical if you clean one house and someone else clean next door, you might as well do next door and give them on of yours, less travelling and time wasted,
good luck for the future
