Looks are important when hitchhiking.

As a guy, try to shave before you hit the road. It'll reduce your waiting time. When hitchhiking in foreign countries it might pay off to look like a foreigner.

Your mood is also very relevant. So always be happy, or at least pretend to and keep smiling. This will get you a ride much faster, than if you're looking tired and unmotivated.

If you've been waiting a long time it might be good to do something funny, like waving at random cars, or play some small musical instrument.

In South America people are much more eager to pick up Europeans than locals, though it might also increase the chance of getting robbed.
