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.

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.

• 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.
