Making money online from Sweden is definitely much easier than making money online in Sri Lanka , for one thing Internet speeds are miles ahead of Sri Lanka and all the major online payment services are active and allowed there. Once you being to Sweden you realize just how fast the Internet can be and that smooth service is a real plus factor when you are trying to make money online. Since I went there on some project work I spent most of my spare time traveling around the the city and the country so didn't do any work on my websites. Most of the time was spend downloading movies and playing around with Facebook. I almost felt guilty about not doing any work on my sites with such a fast connection but you don't get to go to Sweden everyday so this was an opportunity to do some tourist stuff. Although I didn't do any work on my sites for the last three weeks I still managed to earn some decent amount from my websites in the last three weeks which just goes to show the passive income earning potential of the Internet. So lets take a look at the earnings breakdown in the last three weeks.
The biggest and relatively surprising source of income is affiliate commissions from e-toro , I have maintained for a long while that etoro is one of the best platforms to learn about FOREX trading and seems like some of my readers are finally listening. Total of 262$ were made from etoro affiliate commissions which is pretty nice since I didn't do anything to promote them. Adsense earnings has also has reached the payment limit and this time it took less time to reach the payment threshold. I suppose I just have to keep building more niche sites. If you are interested in making money by building niche websites the keyword academy has one of the best training courses I ever tried and the best thing is you can try it out with full access for 1$ , So that's another 106$ for no work at all. Click bank commissions were down to 78$ but that is ok , so all in all in the last three weeks I earned around 436$ for doing absolutely nothing. I hope this post inspires you to start making money online because it truly is a great way to earn some passive income. I did make 6$ from sponsored tweets but I didn't add it here since I had to do some work for that

Make Money online in Sri Lanka is search term that brings me a little bit of traffic and a lot of questions. Chances are you came to this page while searching for something related to making money online in Sri Lanka. And since most of you are new to this, the question I get asked a lot is how to start making money online in Sri Lanka. The problem is there are many ways to start making money online and they all require you to spend some time reading and learning the ropes. Most people ask for services they can join , and there are many get paid to read e-mails , get paid to click and get paid to fill surveys around but you have to work very hard to earn a small income with these services. And they are not passive income , soon as you stop clicking you stop earning. In this post I will talk about problems in making money online in Sri Lanka , few places where you can read about how to start making money online and few resources that you can use to learn about making money.
Problems faced when Making Money Online in Sri Lanka
Lack of Internet audience in Sri Lanka is one of the biggest problems you face when it come to making money online in Sri Lanka. Even from that small audience very few use the Internet to buy products or services. Most just use it to watch porn , download movies songs etc. So if you are trying to sell some service online to Sri lankan audience you will have some problems.
Another problem is services like PayPal are send only in Sri Lanka. That means you can send money but you can't receive money. This is a problem faced by most of my friends who are doing free lance work. There is a work around for this but you are limited to a transaction amount of 500$ per month. read more in How to receive money from Paypal in Sri Lanka .
How to start making money online in Sri Lanka
Joining paid to read e-mail or paid to click sites is not recommended because you only make pennies that way. During the last three years I have tried those and I haven't earned much from them. So you don't need to make the same mistake. Getting paid to do surveys is a legitimate business but most of the surveys are targeted at US , Canada and UK citizens. So as a Sri Lankan chances of you getting profitable surveys are very less , below are few ways I use to make money online.
- Blogging - This is one of the first method I used to make money online and one of the methods I still use. I earn a decent income from this blog and as the time goes it is bound to go up as well.

It is also a good post to check out various ways you can make money from your blog.You can start a blog for free using Blogger or Wordpress. Since you are trying to make money I recommend blogger because they allow you to add Adsense ads.
- Affiliate marketing - In very simple terms affiliate marketing is selling other peoples products and making a commission from them. Once you join a some service as an affiliate you are given a unique web link and once someone buys something going via your link you get paid a commission. Clickbank is a good place to look for products to promote.
- Forex Trading - This is one of the easiest ways to make money online and also one of the easiest ways to loose money online as well. This requires lot of training and you need to learn a lot. But if you master the art of Forex trading then you have a very good chance of making a good income online. I'm personally using e-toro as my Forex broker so I can recommend it without a problem. Check out my post about starting Forex trading in Sri Lanka.
- Doing free lance work - I have few friends at office who makes a decent income doing free lance work , the thing about free lance work is you have to build a reputation to make a decent living. As most things it is bit hard to build a reputation at first but if you persist with it it is a good way to make money online.

Make Money Online | Make Money Online, stompernet, wordpress for beginners, Wordpress Wizard 2.0
Wordpress Wizard 2.0 is a guide for people who are new to blogging using Wordpress. Its a series of videos presented in an organized way so someone totally new to blogging can start your own hosted Wordpress blog. I already wrote a Wordpress Wizard 2.0 review hub so check it out if you are completely new to blogging. Even if you are not new to blogging checking out the sales page might give you a few places to search for back links so its worth visiting. The video series covers lots of things including e-mail marketing etc , you want be getting rich overnight after watching the videos but you can get a taste of what is required to make money from blogging. Having too much information is also a bad thing and I personally feel that they shouldn't have included E-mail marketing etc to the course because that is somewhat beyond most people who are new to blogging. Since you are getting lifetime access I suppose you can view then when you have done the initial steps.
Next I'm gonna share with you a interesting video I found in Bad Blogger , It's an conversation between Anthony Robins , Frank Kern and John Reese and these guys are few of the top internet marketers around. It is mostly about why you need to change your mindset to make money online. It also explains why most successful marketers are broke before that and why average people fail to make money online. It also gave me an idea why I am a bit lazy to get the thing done to make money online. It's because online money is just another side income for me ,I don't really need it , I have a very well paid job by Sri Lankan standards so I really don't need the money. Now all I have to do is change my mindset , if that is possible
, seriously speaking its a great video to watch so go watch it.
Next is a tons of free videos by Stompernet. Stompernet is one of the best internet marketing training around and it 199$ per month. I know that is out of reach of many of my readers especially Sri Lankan ones. But there are many free videos available for you to download and watch in the main site. And best of all you don't need to give your e-mail address or anything to do this , so visit Stompernet and start downloading those free videos.
I hope you will find these information useful , feel free to leave a comment if you have any problems or doubts.
