I mean real preaching the gospel to the lost.
My question is simple: What do you do? Street preaching? Door knocking? Tent meetings? "Revival services" at an existing church (assuming the lost show up)?
What methods do you use and can you relate some stories about successes, failures, etc?

There are very few "real" evangelists admitted into today's "Ministry".
Laboring to proclaim the gospel to the lost is what most of the Church has
not been
taught; that is,
"...the work of the ministry...": or as the Apostle Peter put it,
"...that
you should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness and into
His marvelous light." Get it?
Show the power of the gospel!
Phillip waited on tables: he did not have an office in the Ministry...but he
knew the gospel.
He preached the gospel with such faith and power that he was later
named to be an evangelist.
By whom was he named, you ask? By the Lord Jesus!
This brings us to the question:
"What is the work of the evangelist?" Simple: to teach
the Church how to
"...work the ministry...".
