📋 Surveys & Research
Global brands are paying
for your opinion.
Every product you buy, every app you use, every ad you scroll past — someone researched whether you'd respond to it. That research pays. And it specifically needs people like you: a real Kenyan consumer, with real opinions, in a market that's growing fast.

What you'll do
Four types of research tasks. All pay real money.
📋
5–20 min
KES 80–350 each
Paid surveys
Answer structured questions from global brands. Topics range from consumer habits to political sentiment to product feedback. Your Kenyan perspective is specifically what they're paying for.
📦
30–90 min
KES 400–1,500 each
Product testing
You receive a product (physical or digital), use it, then fill in a detailed feedback form or record a short video review. Higher effort, significantly higher payout.
💻
15–45 min
KES 300–800 each
Website & app testing
You're given a website or app and a set of tasks to complete while narrating your experience. Companies use this to find friction points before launch. Your honest confusion is valuable.
🎙️
60–90 min
KES 1,200–3,000 each
Focus groups
Live video sessions with a small group of researchers. You discuss a product, ad campaign, or social issue. High pay, lower frequency — but when they come up, they're worth your time.
🎯
Your Kenyan consumer profile is in high demand
Kenya is one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in Africa. International brands launching here, or studying African market behaviour, specifically need Kenyan respondents.
How it works
From sign-up to M-Pesa.
01
Apply and set up your profile
Your profile captures your demographics — age, location, income bracket, education, consumer habits. This determines which surveys and studies you qualify for. More complete profile = more tasks.
02
Get matched to tasks
You're notified when a task you qualify for becomes available. First come, first served — most tasks have limited slots. So acting fast matters.
03
Complete the task honestly
Quality checks flag inconsistent or rushed responses. Answer genuinely — your demographic data is why brands chose you. Honest answers protect your account standing.
04
Get paid to M-Pesa
Payment releases after your response passes quality review — usually within 24 hours for surveys, 48–72 hours for more complex tasks. Minimum withdrawal: KES 500.

From people already doing it
Sylvia K.
Nairobi, Karen
“I do surveys while watching TV in the evening. It's the most painless income I've ever made. I only do tasks that take under 20 minutes — I just stack them up across the week.”
Daniel M.
Eldoret
“I prioritise the product testing and focus groups — they pay the most per hour. I treat it like a part-time job. When a focus group drops, I clear my schedule and show up. KES 2,500 for 90 minutes is not something I pass on.”
