Business
Path to a steady income
Today in Sri Lanka a trainee in this field draws an average salary of Rs 15,000 – 35,000 and after an year if he / she is updated with the current technology trends , he / she may be able to draw a salary in the region of Rs 150,000 .
But many in Sri Lanka are not aware that there are better opportunities in this field and the only thing needed is dedication and commitment to be a creative entrepreneur.
With the introduction of the computer, the speed of communication has increased drastically . It’s not necessary to possess expensive equipment such as printing machines / transformers or complex networks such as postal / courier networks, but a person with a computer or a smart phone has the opportunity to dessiminate information at a very high speed to anywhere in the world .
This was also changed in an unimaginable way when fb was introduced to the world in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and his friends while he was an undergraduate at Harward University. The introduction of other social media networks such as you tube in 2005 , instagram and pintrest in 2010 also facilitated the people to have a more speedy & comfortable communication system all over the world .
It is a common factor that many spend a considerable time with social media networks and waste resources such as time , money and do not gain much when compared to the resources that they spent. It is very sad to note that the facilities available in our country do not support much to educate people on how they can earn through social networking systems .
As such Auxx Me Network Pvt Ltd and POLYMATH College Pvt Ltd joined hands recently to provide the required knowledge to those who are interested in this area. This project is carried out with the collaboration of Skills Development Fund Ltd , an organisation that comes under the purview of the Ministry of Finance. ,
This joint venture will introduce couple of courses and start with ” Social Media Monatizing” which will support the students to become successful entrepreneurs by empowering them with all the necessary knowledge to sell their creativity. Once they gain the necessary knowledge and the skill , they will not only earn a good income but will also support Sri Lanka by bringing much needed foreign exchange .
” To earn money you need not to be a Hard Worker – but a Smart Worker . Many do not wish to be entrepreneurs as Return of Investment is too high . But anyone who follows one of these courses can earn an income more than what they could earn from a traditional job in the ICT industry in a very short time span if he / she uses ability and creativity in correct direction with commitment and dedication. My dream is to prepare 1000 such persons so that my motherland will automatically receive one million Dollars worth of foreign currency through them without sending an iota of resources from the country I was born .” Mr Madushka Dissanayaka, Chairman / CEO of Auxx Me enlightened the audience at the signing ceremony of the partnership agreement .Mr Upali Gunasekara , Principal / Director of POLYMATH College welcomed that idea and pledged fullest support to conduct courses aiming specially the school leavers who seek higher education opportunities in Sri Lanka and overseas.
Mr Madushka Dissanayaka is a pioneer in the Digital Entrepreneurship industry Sri Lanka with more than 12 years experience in the field. He is one of the best content writers Sri Lanka has produced so far bringing lots of foreign exchange to his Mother country . Recently one of his contents earned him Rs 3.6 million which contained merely not more than 650 words . His total portfolio has reached more than 23 million all over the world and bring lots of revenue to Sri Lanka .
This joint venture will introduce to Sri Lankans a new set of innovative professions and open the avenue for those who have a desire to sell their creativity and earn to lead a happy and comfortable life .
