1. Rent out your own home while you're traveling
Expected income: depending on the location, length of rental, decoration, equipment and cleanliness, you may be out of this month's rent.
Methods: The major short-term rental websites are crazy po information. When you take pictures of your home, remember to have good lighting, and look good by the way.
Go out and play, the house also automatically give you money, this method also! There! Who! Just want to say...when I went to Yunnan for a small vacation, I made my airfare money back because I rented out my room.
Side effects: This method may make your trip less "peaceful", you will always receive harassment from the tenants, such as why the wifi disconnect, how to adjust the temperature of the water heater, etc.... If you have a time difference, hooray, that's even better. Also, if you've recruited a party animal as a tenant...hygiene when you get home could be a problem.
Tips: If you don't have the right tenant, don't rent, and remember to show them how to use the appliances in your home and explain the do's and don'ts before you leave.
2. If you have a car, rent it out
However, I don't have a car. I'm so angry, empty of a clever little brain, not a dime to me. Do not write, the method and the situation is the same as above.
Recommended APP: Roadie
If you are ready to prepare a car with more space, then you can go along as a courier, to Roadie on the pro delivery it ~ generally speaking, the same city can earn about $8-$50 a trip, if it is a long-distance distance, up to $650 can earn Oh! It is said that if you help to deliver pets, you can earn more!
3, buy low, sell high, earn the difference
Expected income: depends on what the product, electronics, a few hundred easy, effort on the thousands of dollars is also possible.
Methods: When traveling, A place to buy goods, B place to sell, B place to continue to buy goods, C place to continue to sell.
Principle of stocking: the product must be a local specialty, feature or souvenir (unique); or a name brand origin and discount season shopping (cheap).
What to bring to the next destination? This is the time to see if your vision is poisonous or not. Do your research beforehand and make sure to pick items that are available/cheap in A and not available/expensive in B. (If you can tell a story and infuse the item with sentiment, you can ignore this previous sentence).
For example, if you set off domestically to play in the US & Brazil, you can bring a couple of ipads in the US to sell in Brazil (compare prices globally, the US ipad price is always the lowest), and the Brazilian ipad price is at least twice as much as the US one. After that, you can bring back cacha?a wine, propolis and other specialties from Brazil and sell them twice as much back home.
Another example, India's policy is to let even the poor have money to get medicines, so medicines are cheap. For the same imported drugs, the country will raise the price of imported drugs several times in order to protect domestic drugs. So .... When traveling to India you can bring back a few boxes of anti-cancer drugs to sell. Nepal's cashmere products are extremely cheap, and color pattern beauty can not, domestic shopping malls often thousands of cashmere products with them than instantly eclipsed.
The next problem is the source of customers, online through a variety of social tools about people to sell (the test of English time), the fastest offline is to set up a stall well. If you can't sell abroad, take it back to your home country and put it on your own Taobao store or self-media platform (microblogging, microblogging ticket circle, QQ group) out of the good choice ah.
Tips: Don't be too greedy and watch out for the heartfelt greetings from customs. As well as, buy too much to sell but you have to lose money.
4, human courier
Expected income: depends on the difficulty and the market.
Methods: local Chinese (international students) forums, pay attention to what they need, from the domestic or duty-free stores (such as cigarettes and alcohol) to help bring. For the more advanced ones, if your English is good enough, you can look at what foreigners need on the major social media tools.
Helping Chinese abroad to bring cigarettes is not to say, we can all think of, the cost can look at the charges of similar services and then decided. Sharing a friend driving in Europe, from A to help a local piggyback pet dog to B, so the whole trip meals were reimbursed ... daily ticket circle sunshine meal ah, and seafood and red wine ... heart, however, I will not drive.
