Selling Something While Traveling

Some very useful secret tips when selling something. What experience has taught me:

1. CLOSE TO PEOPLE: Many times you can find a place to put a cloth on the floor or a folding table and display what you sell, but sometimes not, other times, people may come. It’s like waiting for them to take the bait! Getting close to people is not easy at first, it may be embarrassing, but if it is a lot of fun, you cannot imagine the number of people you can engage in conversations with, the number of people and cultures you can meet. If nothing happens sitting down, stop and go get the potato.
2. SMILE! It is the most important rule (for everything in life) because the most important thing is to generate empathy, after this, you already have half earned. If you manage to make the other person laugh, with a joke or with your energy, you have earned 7 points and you are close!
3. TELL A STORY. So that you are selling, that everything you say is positive, the idea is to generate liking, which differentiates you from other people, many people want to travel without money, and they can help you fulfill your dreams, just by talking a little about your trip!

4. LET IT BE SMALL. Think that what you are going to sell, you are going to have to carry it, (it is not a rule), some people travel with large suitcases and with a lot of luggage. But if it is small, much better !!!!
5. GOOD PRESENTATION. 
   1. Think about the good presentation of the product you are selling. Well at the end of the day the eyes say a lot! That the product and the place where they expose it are clean, that it is attractive.
   2. But also think about your good presentation. Many times they see me and say, I want some earrings like yours, I buy you because I like your dress because I like your shoes. Good looks and how nice you look will generate that empathy you need to sell.
6. GET TO THE LEVEL OF THE PEOPLE, if they are on the ground, sit down, if they are standing, stand up, do not stay on a higher or lower level, the idea is to have vertical communication. In small groups, it is easier to get intimate, but if it is a large group and they all buy, you will score!
7. HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOU: When I start the day I try to approach 10 people to offer them, and surely some will buy. As soon as under the banner (first sale) everything begins to flow better because the first sale is the one that creates trust in you. And your attitude is everything! That’s if the day you don’t have an attitude you screwed up … you’d better always get up in a good mood!
8. DELIVER THE PRODUCT: When a person has the product in their hands, they feel it as theirs, they long for it, the person it, so if you delivered the product, you earned three points. If you put it on you earned 10 points.

WHAT TO SELL? Some useful ideas

All the ideas that I give you below are ideas that I get from other travelers that I have crossed on the way. I hope they help you decide to travel! Now keep in mind that it is not legal to work outside the country so you must first find out what the rules are in the place where you arrive.

1. Photos
   1. You can sell the photos online or sell postcards. Offer your photography services in restaurants, hostels, or individuals. I sell travel postcards, but you can also sell them online (Facebook is a good tool), offer them to the people you meet on the road in exchange for lodging and food and maybe a payment, look for restaurants, magazines and newspapers and all the that you meet on the way. Luis Carlos Echeverrí is an example that you can live traveling without money but with enthusiasm and talent, he travels on a small motorcycle, unleashing us with his prodigious eye that sees everything with amazement.
   2. Sell ​​photos with a daguerreotype! I met this guy in Salento and he was a hit! He always had 5 or 10 people around! As you can see, he was traveling in Europe and he has photos of the monuments.

How to start?

• The first thing is to choose a toy. What do you want to play?

SEARCH HOW TO BUILD IT OR BUY ONE IN A JUGGLING STORE MALABAR SPHERE, COSMOS, HAMMER HEAD, HENRYS

As for juggling, I learned certain things online, others were sharing others with me, and day by day I was learning a new trick.

At first, I was a bit ridiculous at the traffic light but hey the clown nose helped me to make the ridiculous thing on purpose. Also, people set me on fire to keep me learning.

I must confess that when I did the best, it was when I did not need money because I had and did not have the pressure to get, but I came out because of the experience to know, to see myself able to work anywhere and traveling.

SEEK TO STAND OUT FROM THE OTHERS, look for a toy that not everyone uses, and if you are going to use one that everyone uses, look for a different way of playing, seek to stand out in style.

The wardrobe and makeup are very important, you don’t have to use them all the time, but at least be beautiful and presentable, because after all, it is a visual show! And so they can get better paid private shows.
