Doing online surveys in Sri Lanka

More and more people are looking for ways to make money online in Sri Lanka. And one of the favorite things seems to be signing up for online survey sites. Almost all of these sites have testimonials from people who are getting paid to do surveys. But the problem is most of them are in countries like USA and Canada where there is a huge competition for brands and customer surveys are a important feature of there marketing campaign. Most of the surveys are targetted for people in those countries so Sri Lankans don't get many surveys. Since there are no surveys people cant reach the earning limit to get paid and hence they don't get any money. The bad thing about is most try only this , gets dissapointed with the results and don't even try any other way to make money online. If you are in Sri Lanka and know about site that has enough offers for Sri Lankans please share it in the comments section. Others, if you are in Sri Lanka stay away from online survey filling sites.

How to make money online

One thing I love doing and don't get tired doing is making money online , The problem with most Sri Lankans is instead of building a blog or niche website or something like that which really makes money online they tend to go for reading e-mails , filling surveys etc. Making money online can be broken down into three very basic steps. Build a website or find a product to promote , bring traffic to that blog or website and then monetize that blog or website. Building and monetizing are easy , getting traffic is the hard part. Getting search engine traffic is much harder than that. I found this great article which explains all the basics or making money online and also lists some great resources to get back links.

Make Money Online in Sri Lanka

My squidoo page about Make money online in Sri Lanka is at the top of the search results for the term make money online in Sri Lanka. That is pretty good but after changing the blog title of one of my other blogs about make money blogging from "Rumbling Lankan" to "Make Money Blogging - Rumbling Lankan" I found that some of the old posts that were totally not relevant to making money online have come up the search results for that term. If you Google for that search term you will see that some of my old posts about our APICTA win and blogging in Sinhala are right up there in the first page. Although not totally relevant one thing I learned from this is the power of your blog title plays in your search engine results. So if your blog title doesn't have the keywords you are targetting now is a good time to add them. Check out my hub about making money online in Sri Lanka as well.

Sri Lankans making money from the internet ?

If you have being browsing the net long enough I sure you have gotten some email or you have come across an advertisement that says you can make tons of money from the internet. Most of these are referral systems that are build like a pyramid , where the people at the top get most of the money and people at the bottom levels get a scratch. All those examples they provide are from the top level people who have being lucky enough to enroll first. And most of them requires you to pay some amount to startup so you might end up losing your money as well. There are some ways that you can make some money without spending a cent , most common of them is the paid e-mail ads , but they tend to have a history of not paying on time. And they pay you around 2 cents per e-mail making it bit difficult to get to their payoff mark quickly. One such site that I have used is Hits4Pay , which doesn't overload you with e-mails but sends just enough for a decent payment and also they give a 10$ sign up bonus making that first check come that much quicker. Another site is HTMail which pays you more but doesn't send that much mails. One of the reasons your not getting many of these mails is that most of them are targeting the US consumer base , which is growing rapidly. So it's going to be a bit difficult to make some money just by reading mails. Those are two sites that I have found to be reliable and has good user reviews, Let me know if you know a site that has done well for you , more money making opportunities to follow.
