Wesak Festival 2600 Sambudda Jayanthi

                                    Sri Lanka celebrates Vesak - a thrice-blessed day for Buddhists as it commemorates the birth of Buddha, his attaining Enlightenment and his passing away into Nirvana.
This is a day spent in reflective prayer while lanterns made from bamboo frames and covered in coloured paper are hung inside every home and incredible illuminated displays decorate the streets. Devoted Buddhists pray in temples from dawn until dusk, then take part in processions as the sun sets, visiting the temples again in the evening to hear monks read stories from the Buddhist texts.
Stalls on the roadside distribute free refreshments to passers-by and there are some fantastic mime and street theatre performances, staged on tall platforms throughout the cities and towns near the temples.

Vesak is celebrated on the day of the full moon in May. It is the most hallowed of Buddhist festivals, almost a Christmas, Easier and Whitsun rolled into one as it commemorates the birth of the Buddha, his enlightenment and his death.

           

Online Jobs in Sri Lanka

I have being writing about how to
make money online in Sri Lankafor quite a while now and my preferred method has being creating niche websites and adding affiliate links and adding Adsense in those blogs. But everyone doesn't like blogging, even I don't like the necessary but tedious tasks like upgrading software, managing hosting etc. In this article I will take a look at few other online jobs in Sri Lanka which is much more attractive to normal internet surfers. Although I'm listing down few more online jobs I still believe that if you are looking to generate a long term passive income online then blogging and affiliate marketing is the best option. Internet is a place of countless opportunities and although opportunities for Sri Lankans are limited because of reasons like limited Internet crowd,Paypal send onlythere are still quite a few Internet jobs for Sri Lankans.

Doing Freelance work

A very attractive option especially for university students. When it comes to freelance work in Sri Lanka it is mostly about designing websites. But if you are good at other programming languages then there are lots of opportunities available for you via the Internet. Check out my article about

Data Entry work

For people who don't have the programming skills and designing skills but who have some free time to earn some money then data entry work might be a good choice for you. Keep in mind though that just because you have a Internet connection and some free time you cant do data entry jobs. You have to have some basic English knowledge, satisfactory typing speed and the ability to deliver on time. Most data entry work advertise themselves claiming you can do your work at your leisure but this is not always the case, once you accept a job you have to deliver withing a certain time period. Check out my article aboutData entry work and where to find free data entry jobs in Sri Lanka.

FOREX trading

One of the most profitable methods to make money online but can lead to significant financial losses if done without proper knowledge and experience. This isn't somethings you can learn in a day and start doing straightaway. More than the computer knowledge what you need here is sound understanding of how the currency markets and financial markets work. If you are willing to invest some time to learn the methods this could be a great income source for you. If you are still interested then check out

When it comes to earning additional cash the first thing that ever came into my mind was Ebay. So how you make money with ebay is pretty darn simple. To sum it up in 13 words: Ebay is an online marketplace where you can buy and sell products online. You can earn money with ebay by just selling off items in your house that are no longer in use. Not only can you make additional income but you might as well pull in your entire income with this way.

Using Paid To Click Websites To Earn Extra Money

Though I do not recommend to rely on this as a permanent or reliable source of extra wealth but the only reason I’m recommending it now is because it is really easy. You can read my review about using it to making money on the internet. You can also read reviews about bux.to andclixsense which are two good recommended paid to click websites.

Providing Easy Services To Earn Extra Money

There is a whole list of services you could provide to people but listed below are the most easiest and the highest returns compared to the work you put into it:

1.    Make Money Writing: If you’re a good writer you can write then you can easily pull in a few hundred dollars a month. You can usually make up to $5 per article which is usually 500+ words and unique. You can contact webmasters on forums to let them know about your services.

2.    Acquiring Tedious Jobs: Many times I’ve seen threads in forums put up by webmasters offering money to people for doing some tedious jobs. It might include copy/pasting stuff or editing loads of documents. There are mostly some of these jobs available in the forums and you can check them out by visiting famous forums like digital point.

3.    Blog Commenting: As we webmasters know, blog commenting can be quite useful in a website’s growth and hence many webmasters also look for ways to outsource this. You can usually put up a thread telling about your services and charge fees like $10 for 20 comments or similar. It shouldn’t be hard to get in some extra 30 dollars a month.

4.    Promotion Services: Recently after the use of twitter grew I’ve been seeing many people trying to make profits. This is among the best ways to make extra money. Example: Andrew has a twitter profile has around 5000 followers all targeted in the sports niche and he is active and so is his following. Andrew goes to a forum and offers a 1 line review plus link to a website in the sports niche for $50. Andrew gets a couple of requests a month and makes around $500 per month easily.

5.    Contest Participating: You might want to check in for contests which are always running around the web. Recently, I saw one for $500 and an iPod Nano. Which is not a bad thing at all if you see the easy thing you have to do to be entered as a participant.

The list goes on and in fact I have way more than just those listed. But I tried to keep the list open to anyone. It can help anyone make some spare money for saving for a rainy day. I also tried to make sure it did not involve any costs and most importantly was extremely easy to apply and get it working. If you have any more really easy ways to create an additional stream of income then let me know and if it’s good enough you might get credit for it.

Take initiative on the list and I will not be surprised if you came back after a few months telling me that you’re making an extra $500 per month. This may prove to be even more beneficial to those people who keep checking their Adsense accounts every hour just to find that they earned $0.01 today. Now you’ve learned how to make extra money, it’s time to act. Get a hold of yourself as well as this list and get going!
