Having my own family made me dream big, or even bigger. I am not thinking, dreaming just for me. Everything I do, everything I dream of, it's always for my little family. Now that I am still breastfeeding my daughter, I cannot go anywhere and do errands but that doesn't stop me to earn extra.
To start earning little by little, I and my partner thought of having a business like selling snacks and beverages and other drinks that can make us drunk. You know people here nowadays are fond of drinking beer and whiskey, chilling and relaxing. We thought of selling liquors because it will be sold like hotcakes. We had a lot of friends who come over here and they would end up drinking whiskey not just one bottle but three of five. If we have these liquors, then we would earn a lot everyday. This is still a plan for we don't have money or capital yet for this. Haha! But I believe this will soon be realized.
We also plan selling cigarettes because most of the men here even the young ones are smoking. One person can almost consume 10 sticks per day or even more. I know this is bad for their health but what can we do? They can't even change themselves and even the government can't stop this addiction.
We also started selling balut yesterday. In case some of you don't know what balut is, it's a popular food commonly sold by the street vendors here in the Philippines. It is fertilized duck egg that has been incubated for approximately 18 days. Yup, you read it right and balut tastes really good paired with vinegar and salt.
I, myself love eating balut. Whenever I am sad, depressed and lonely, my mind will automatically long for balut. I don't know why but balut has a healing power for me. Lol.
We tried selling 30 baluts yesterday. Out of 30 baluts, eight of them are sold. Yes, only eight. We never lose hope because it's our first day selling and people don't know that we sell balut at home. We believe that day by day, many customers will come and everything we display will be sold out.
By the way one balut costs $.44.
Now what else should I sell? Hmm. Still thinking about it. Haha! I'm not good in handling business and most especially in handling money but I will try it again this time. Who knows this is my time to shine. Well, good luck to me!
I am not like this before. I hate selling because I know myself that I am not good with sales talking. I am not good in math that I use my calculator even with simple math problems. I also hate conversing to people I don't know. Now it's funny that I am slowly turning into the first one to approach because I need to promote our products and get sales.
How about you, guys? Have you tried selling before? How was it?
