As the title of this post is indicating the topic. People especially young generation in Pakistan is still unaware of Making Money Online.
Though, this is becoming a very common controversial topic among IT
related guys in Pakistan. But still there are confusions for people to
take the first step. As internet users globally grow day by day and in
Pakistan people and students are joining computer classes rapidly for
last few years. A rapid growth was seen in the students of computer
science in Pakistan in previous years. The reason is; students find
it financially strong subject and has a number of related subjects in
it. But still, many students including experienced computer and internet
users are unaware of real methods about Making Money Online in
Pakistan. This article covers the topic and its facts.
Why majority of Pakistanis don’t know about making money online?
In my opinion, there are few reasons,
the first reason is; mostly Pakistani use internet for entertainment
purposes such as for watching songs, movies and playing games, also they
use it mostly for chatting, Facebook etc to make friends & make
conversations with girls. So most of their time is wasted in useless
activities.
The weaker English might be another
reason for this. In Pakistan, a majority of students belong to middle
class or even lower class families; who can’t afford studying in high
English medium schools/colleges. The schools/colleges they are studying
in; can not make their English stronger, and as per my experience,
students don’t hard work to learn English in private institutes.
A matriculation/intermediate passed student in Pakistan can’t write an
article in English and if we compare India to Pakistan, the metric
students can fully speak, read and write English with fluency in India.
Therefore, India is ahead than Pakistan in terms of Making Money Online on the internet.
To be noted that there are also many
genius guys out there from Pakistan who make a smart income online with
their skills such as Muhammad Mustafa Ahmedzai of
mybloggertricks.com, Abed Beli of beliscity.com, Rehan Allahwala of
rehant.com, Syed Faizal Ali of mybloggerlab.com and Arsalan Hassan of
clip-bucket & tune.pk. There are dozens of other amazing guys from Pakistan, which is somehow a great sign for the country’s future.
