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 ;) .

Twit Sniper Review

I have being invited to test out Twit Sniper and this Twit Sniper review is based on testing out the service for two days.In my previous post about Twit Sniper review I mentioned one definite improvement will be you don't need to have your own hosting but since it took a while to release Twit Sniper I was hoping to get some cool new features and I wasn't disappointed. There are plenty of new tools for you to try out and improve and fine tune your Twitter marketing strategies and best of all it comes at a affordable and a reasonable prize. Not everyone can spent 197$ on HummingBird so without doubt Twit Sniper is one of the best tools out there that you can use to find targeted Twitter followers at a reasonable prize. I will list down the feature available in the system so you have an idea of what to expect before you buy Twit Sniper , alternatively you can check out the videos explaining the process.

Automatically follow users based on Keyword

Finding targeted followers makes it easy to interact with them and it makes it easier for them to connect with you as well. The best way to find targeted followers is to search for them using key words and Twit Sniper does it for you. You have some control over the auto follow process as well , you can specify the interval between requests , how much back in time you want to search the Twitter time line etc. This time based sniping method is very important so you want get your account banned by sending too many requests at once.You can target multiple key words at once as well so you don't have to run the process for every key word your want to target.You can add a simple keyword or you can add an advanced keyword witch has a lot more settings you can tweak to find tune your Twitter followers.

Advanced Keyword Adding ( new with Twit Sniper )

It is said that a picture is worth thousand words so I think you can understand it better by looking at the picture. Click on it to view it in full size. As you can see there are lots of ways to find tune the exact Twitter phrase you are looking for. You can check for multiple keywords in one tweet , you can search for hash tags , you can limit it be checking specific user names , you can even check for tweets before a certain date etc. All this features makes it very easier to fine tune your automated process of getting Twitter followers. From my experience getting Twitter followers is relatively easy , the tough part is getting them to stay , so if you are fine tuning your Twitter campaign make sure you have some relevant content in your Twitter feed to keep them interested.

Hosted on there own servers ( new with Twit Sniper )

This was supposed to make it more secure but this was a reason why many users kept away from Twitter Snipe as well. That problem is solved now by them providing secure servers to host your account. You just need to create an account and you are ready to go.

Support for Multiple Accounts

You can as add many Twitter accounts as you want , this is a good way to build your niche Twitter accounts without spending too much time on them. If you manage to tap into the right niche these Twitter accounts with relatively small number of followers can be very profitable.

Schedule Tweets ( new with Twit Sniper )

This is a great feature of Twit Sniper and now you can schedule multiple tweets for multiple accounts. This is a great way to test out different message formats , different reactions according to the time zone settings or if you just want to post some message with different formats regularly so it will be visible in the Twitter search. As most good things be careful about using this , if you use this to spam twitter time line with same freaking message multiple times you are more likely to get banned , use this wisely and sensibly and you have a more than average chance of making profits.

Mass Direct Message ( new with Twit Sniper )

This is like having your very own e-mail list with the difference being you have to make your message 140 characters or less. You can even specify how many followers you need to send this message. Just type your message and press the "Perform Mass Direct Message" button. As with scheduled tweets this is a powerful feature that you should use with care. Remember "With Great Power comes Great Responsibility" ;) .

Help and video Tutorials with access to Forums

Last time I checked there were no help or video tutorials. Most things are pretty much self explanatory and you have small question marks everywhere describing what it does. So I doubt anyone will have trouble getting this to work. There is a forum where you can request new features and report bugs. I reported a possible enhancement for scheduled tweets and it was there next day , now that's the kind of service I'm looking for. The developers of Twitter Snipe is known for there quality products like floating sign up form for Wordpress etc so I'm pretty sure the product quality will keep increasing.

Bonuses

These days hardly any product comes out without bonuses and Twit Sniper is no exception. There are five listed down in the bonuses section but "Eye catching avatars" doesn't seem to work for me.

  • Twitter traffic exposed
  • Twitter Banking report
  • Twitter back grounds ( I found this very good addition )
  • Eye catching Avatars
  • Twitter viral script

These are some nice bonuses to find and attract more followers. Use the viral twitter and give out something nice for tweeting. You will be amazed at how many tweets and followers you can get through this method.

Create a Twit Sniper Account

As you can see this is a great service to build a targeted Twitter following and there are lots of features there that will help you make money with Twitter. Other than some layout issues I really couldn't find anything wrong with it and the functions works as expected. So go create a Twit Sniper account now.

P.S - If you have any doubts or questions about the service feel free to ask them in the comments section , I will answer them to the best of my ability.

Twit Sniper vs Twitter Sniper

Twit Sniper is a more powerful extension of Twitter Snipe which has a lot more features than the Original Twitter Snipe. If you want to learn about the features offered with Twitter Snipe you can read my original Twitter Snipe Review. One thing that made Twitter Snipe not attractive for most users is that to use the software you need to have your own hosting. This is good security wise but the problem was average Internet user don't have hosting and one's that have hosting are also not very aware of the technical details needed to setup Twitter Snipe. So Twit Sniper was introduced with more powerful features and most importantly with hosting done for you. If you want to automatically increase your Twitter followers then Twit Sniper is one of the best software's out there for a reasonable prize. Without a doubt the best I have used is HummingBird and I highly recommend but not many can spend 197$. Twit Sniper is about to be launched and if you pre register you can get it at a discout prize , pre register anyway , if you don't like the prize you can alwasy skip and if you like the prize you can buy it at a discount. Pre register for Twit Sniper or check out the Twit Sniper Review

As soon as I write a review of a Twitter software to get more followers one of the first questions I get is why you need to increase your followers automatically. Isn't Twitter about interacting with your followers , how you can interact with thousands of followers etc. The simple truth is you cant interact with them all but still you can provide useful content to your followers. For example in my personal Twitter account I provide very useful information related to blogging and thing related to make money from blogging. Build a huge following and win there trust and you will see those occasional affiliate tweets working wonders.

For those who are lazy to click a link and read my review I have listed down some of the key features available in Twit Sniper , if you want more detailed information about the points listed below you can check out the Twitter Snipe Review.

  • Automatically follow targeted users
  • Mass unfollow users who are not following you back
  • Support for Multiple accounts
  • Hosted service , so you don't have to worry about Hosting ( Twit Sniper )
  • Multiple keyword targeting ( Most services allow one at a time )
  • Time based Sniping ( reckless unfollowing can get you banned )
  • Live feed of the actions performed
  • How to guides and videos

Used properly Twitter is without doubt one of the most powerful marketing tools out there. The tools described above can easily help you grow to thousands of followers so consider it as an investment.

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. You can check out my blog post about combining SEO and affiliate marketing to make money to get an idea of how much I earn from this blog. 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. I'm talking to few of my friends these days so I can write a detailed post about it so make sure to check back often. Also if you are a free lancer feel free to share your thoughts about it in the comment section

Wordpress Wizard 2.0 , Stompernet and conditioning your mind to make money online

Posted September 15th, 2009 by Nishadha | Comments

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.
