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

Paid surveys let researchers hear from real people in Tanzania, from Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Arusha or Mwanza. 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. Which language a survey is in depends on the partner and your profile. Answer in the language you understand best and read each question carefully.

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 Tanzanian shillings

Your points add up in your balance, shown as an estimate in TZS. When you withdraw to M-Pesa, Airtel Money 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.
