Dear friends, I decided to write about working ideas for making money selling goods on the roadside. This proven way of earning will allow you to make money from scratch (well, or almost from scratch) and without any serious knowledge.

Many traders who stand on the roads and sell a wide variety of goods earn quite decent money. They don't row coins with a shovel, but they have enough for life. I have repeatedly observed examples of such enterprising people starting from a tray and after a while opened a full-fledged "business on the road". You will see such examples further if you read the article to the end.

I can highlight the following advantages of this type of activity:

1. Minimum funds to start. Naturally, if you have a car (now many have it).
2. Most of these ideas do not require business registration.
3. You can choose the busiest places for trade, where the flow of cars reaches several thousand per day.
4. Popular products are always sold out.

So, let's begin.

Firewood and brooms - everything for a bath

At the entrance to our city, ordinary firewood has been sold for several years. And they sell very successfully. Nearby there is a private sector and a large suburban area. Many wealthy people have solid fuel boilers and wood-fired baths in their cottages, so they are one of the most important paying customers.

I remember how people started out with a regular wood cart. Now, in their place, a road complex has actually grown, where you can buy firewood and brooms, coal for shashlik and barbecues, figures for a summer cottage, black soil and fertilizers, etc.

To organize a business, you need to find suppliers of firewood. In almost every workers' settlement or village there are people who will sell firewood for a penny. A more difficult option is to organize your own firewood production.

Boots and hats

Starting from autumn, in one brisk place they organize trade in felt boots and hats. The product is popular, in demand.

The most interesting thing is that the people who are engaged in this business are far from poor, judging by their minibus - a foreign car. And the goods are ordinary felt boots.

What prevents each of us from doing such a thing? No problem. You can buy goods at wholesalers or dealers (you can skip looking for manufacturers with small volumes).

Non-freezing

Well, this is already a classic of the genre. I think each of you has seen the following picture: a car is standing on the side of the road, there are several five-liter bottles of blue liquid on the hood, the driver is sitting in the car - he is also a salesman. We have points where not even one, but several cars are parked. Of course, earnings are purely seasonal, but you can make good money in a few days.

Let's count. 5 liters of "non-freezing" in bulk purchase will cost 60-70 rubles (2015). You can buy "in Auchan" or "Lenta". On the highway, they will sell goods for at least 100 rubles, although some put a price tag of 150 rubles. As a result, we have from 30 to 90 rubles per bottle sold. In one rainy day, more than one hundred cars can stop near the point of sale.

Potato

It's funny, but ordinary potatoes in buckets that grannies sell are snapped up by city dwellers with a bang! Such a product is also represented by a wide range of sellers on the sides of our roads. Potatoes are especially eagerly bought in the spring, when prices in hypermarkets become extremely high. In autumn, of course, it is difficult to make money on potatoes, since there is a lot of them everywhere.

The difficulty in organizing such a business comes down to two points: finding suppliers and storage for potatoes. The product must be purchased during the harvest season, when peasant farms are harvesting their fields. At this time, the prices for potatoes are the lowest.

The idea, of course, is not for a city dweller, but for those who have a private home and the ability to organize long-term storage of potatoes.

Garden figures

A fairly popular product in spring and summer is garden figures and MAF (small architectural forms). There is one point that sells a huge assortment of "garden characters" on the road: gnomes and hares, pigs and monkeys, dogs and cats, lions, bears and even dinosaurs. There are always buyers of such beauty.

You can buy such figures in bulk from Russian suppliers. It is not difficult to find them. It is enough to enter "wholesale garden figures" into the search line and a whole series of proposals will be released. The markup for individual items can be up to 100%.
