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. So check this article about Earn Money Online. You are bound to learn something.

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.

Cluster mate getting married

Well my cluster mate is getting married , and its about time as well , being the considerate friends we are we decided to have a bachelor party. All the naughty thought came to my mind but the problem was he was kind of a shy person so we wouldn't want to spoil party with him creeping out. So we decided the trusted method of getting drunk is the best way to go about it. Most of the others wanted to involve some chicks but knowing my friend I thought it wasn't such a good idea , after all it is his bachelor party. Being a party it is not that good to go empty handed especially here in Sri Lanka where everything is analyzed and scrutinized. Well I found plenty of Bachelor party gifts that can be given. Since Sri Lankand are not that much into golf I guess the second option is not so good but cigar related items definitely seems a good idea. The party went as expected with everyone getting drunk to the point where not one of us were in a condition to drive back , other than that it was a great success.

Importance of Grammar

Yesterday's toastmaster session was a bit special because most of the roles were done by our own club members and they did a fantastic job of it as well. There was a project speech and the evaluation was done by the guest speaker and there were few good points to be taken from that evaluation.
The guest speech was done by Mr.Yukthi Gunesekera and it was about "Achieving your goals through language" , it was a great speech and really pointed out how we neglect pronunciation when we are speaking. He also pointed out how improper use of grammar can ruin your credibility. The thought that immediately came to my mind was those blogs with poor grammar and spelling mistakes. It doesn't matter how good your content is if the reader can't read it in a proper manner you are going to loose the reader. With spell checks and lots of other tools to help you out there can really be no excuse to have spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes in your blog posts.
