Paid Surveys in Lesotho: How They Work and How to Start

Paid surveys let researchers hear from real people in Lesotho, from Maseru, Teyateyaneng or Mafeteng. You answer questions about products, services or everyday life, and you earn the points shown on the survey once the partner confirms your response.

How a survey works

1. Open Earn and choose Surveys. Each survey shows its reward and an estimated time.
2. The first questions check whether you are in the group the researcher needs.
3. If you qualify, complete the survey; points are added when the partner confirms it.

Why some surveys end early

If you are not in the group a study is looking for, the survey ends after a few questions. This is called a screen-out. A survey can also close because it already has enough answers from people like you. Neither counts against your account. Some surveys are looking for people in specific places or jobs and will end early if you do not match. That is normal in Maseru and the districts alike, and it does not count against you.

How to qualify for more

• Complete your profile questions; they decide which surveys are sent to you.
• Answer honestly and the same way every time. Contradictory answers lead to fewer surveys and can lead to rewards being refused.
• Read every question. Attention checks are common.
• Use one account, on your own phone.

From points to loti (plural maloti)

Your points add up in your balance, shown as an estimate in LSL. When you withdraw to M-Pesa, EcoCash or a bank account, the quote shows the fee and the exact amount you receive before you confirm. Every withdrawal waits at least 48 hours for a security check before it is paid. That protects you if someone else ever gets into your account.

If a reward does not arrive
