Travel and earn

hisatti77 · Dec 28th, 2008, 14:58

Hi,
I wanted to post this in India for beginers but dont have access to that :-( .. nways
I am looking forward to some day just get out of my cosy home and venture into unknown parts of india. What all could one do to earn and travel at the same time around India? I want to do it for at least six months. start with small money, go by local transport, stay at a place for 3-4 days and move on. And also, earn some money at that place to help me in moveing on. Any suggestions?

hmm...seems hard...earning money in one place just by stopping 3-4 days.

missRenu · Dec 28th, 2008, 16:18

yes i agree...have you thought about volunteering...mayb.

can be equally fulfilling if money is not top priority and its only very temporary - i.e. 6 months

Staying 3 -4 days in a place and earning money seems like an impossible task. The only way you can do it is don saffron robes and pretend to be a sadhavi, you might get free rides on local transport and some donations if you can spout some philosophy or you can read horoscopes/hands/see into future or pretend to at least you will earn a bit.

Hey, its been done and documented on the BBC, there is a guru foren who has managed to overstay so long he is considered a local goddess and gets donations..

:-) i can be sadhu not sadhavi ( poor english language ;-) )
What if I buy a small goods carrier ( very tiny type are available in India) and carry loads across places? I may earn money and travel at the same time.

Why would anybody employ you? There are shippers, movers, couriers, established business all over India. You are Indian; you must know that! Why would they trust you, for a start? First thing to apply to a business idea: common sense, rather than posting it on a forum.

I'd say that there is a quality entrepreneurs, even small-scale, have: they have ideas, put work into them, and make money. Those who have to ask others for the ideas just don't.

Negativity? Yep: if a business idea can be shot down, it wasn't a good one!

Collecting recyclables?, but you will face fierce competition to say the least.
But at least you would make Indía a cleaner place for all to enjoy?

Now Nick, Fedex was shot down by a Harvard prof who earned notoriety for it. The spectre haunts business faculty

. That doesn't mean there is easy money especially in India (watch Slum Dog...)..
