Hawking can a good business idea based on what you are selling, how and where. It is not the easiest or nicest job around though, infact, many people will consider it demeaning to do.

You will be facing rejection multiple times a day, you will move around so much and you must go to work everyday.

To make the best out of this, go for things that have consistent and considerable demand, like foods items or refreshments. Location is important too. You can't hawk in a exotic neighborhood and expect money. Marketplaces are best for this. Some people also modernize or look for ways to make themselves stand out, maybe by dressing differently.

The only way I can think of making money hawking is by getting other people to do it, you can only be at one place at a time, but if i can hire other people to hawk for me, I will be able to make a lot of money that way, I an get like 20 people to hawk fr me and payment will be based on the items they sell not the time they spend so that I will have some leverage.

But Hawking items yourself shows that you d not value your time and you will not make much, this is the reality of it, think of ways you can delegate it and count your money, if you live in my country, labor is very cheap and you will get to do a lot with less money, if you live in a major city, you will be able to get this done easily.
