The stacking multiplier
Combining AI training (mornings, flexible) with chatting shifts (evenings, structured) produces the highest total earnings for the same investment of time. They use different hours and different skill sets — they don't compete.
AI training alone (2 hrs/day, month 2+): KES 10,000–18,000 Chatting alone (2 hrs/day, month 2+): KES 8,000–16,000 Combined (4 hrs/day total, month 2+): KES 18,000–32,000
The combined figure is not simply the sum — the consistency and platform engagement boost both tracks' task access.
