We never ask a worker for money — not to join, not to take a task, not to be paid. Earnings depend on the tasks you finish and are not guaranteed.

No joining fee, no task fee, no withdrawal fee Our fee comes out of pay the employer has already funded. It is never collected from you.
The money is funded before the work starts A job cannot go live until the employer has paid for it. We hold that payment against the job.
Withdraw to M-Pesa Approved pay goes to your wallet, then to the M-Pesa number on your account.
How it works

  2. Pick a taskEvery task shows what it pays you, how long it should take, and what counts as finished — before you accept it.
  3. Do it here and send itThe work happens on the page: type it, fill the rows, or attach your files. Nothing to download, nowhere else to go.
  4. Approved, changes, or rejectedThe employer approves, asks for changes so you can fix and resubmit, or rejects with a reason you can read.
  5. Get paidApproval credits your wallet the same moment. Withdraw it to M-Pesa.

Fees

One job value, charged on both sides

The employer adds a fee on top. The worker's fee is withheld from pay that is already in escrow. Nobody is asked for money before then.

Employers pay +5%

A service fee on top of the job value

  • One M-Pesa payment before the job goes live: the job value for every slot, plus a 5% service fee.
  • The job value is held in escrow for that job. We release it only when you approve work.
  • Every figure — total, fee, and what each worker takes home — is itemised on screen before you pay.

Workers take home −20%

A service fee withheld at approval

  • We never ask a worker to send us money. The 20% is withheld when the work is approved, out of money the employer has already placed in escrow.
  • No task on this board pays less than KES 500. Work worth less than that is worth less than the time it takes to find it, do it and wait for review, so we do not post it.
  • Your take-home figure is shown on the task before you accept it, and again on the credit in your wallet.

One thing to know before you take a better-paid task

A task paying more than KES 900 asks you to hold a commitment — 20% of what it pays — from the balance you have already earned here. It is held, not spent: it comes back in full the moment your work is approved, on top of your pay.

  • You only lose it if you take the task and never deliver, and then it goes to the employer whose slot you held, not to us.
  • Tasks up to KES 900 ask for nothing, so you can start with an empty wallet and build from there.
  • You are never asked to send money in for a commitment. If a task cannot be taken without one you do not have, it says so instead.

A KES 1,000 task, at today's rates

  • Employer paysKES 1,0501,000 job value + 5% service fee
  • Worker receivesKES 8001,000 job value − 20% service fee
  • WorkOnlineJob keepsKES 250Both fees together — 25% of the job value

5% and 20% are the current rates. They are platform settings and can change, so the rates and amounts shown in the app when you post or accept a task are the ones that apply. Withdrawing costs nothing; the smallest withdrawal is currently KES 100, shown in your wallet before you confirm. M-Pesa may add its own transaction cost, which is Safaricom's charge and not ours.

Task types

Work that needs no special training

Every task says how long it honestly takes before you accept it, and the pay follows from the time, not the other way round.

  • Quick5–20 minKES 500–900

    A few focused minutes. No special skill, do it on a phone.

  • Standard20–60 minKES 900–1,600

    Up to an hour of real attention, and a result someone checks.

  • Involved1–3 hoursKES 1,600–2,800

    Half a morning. Needs care, a plan, and usually a skill.

  • Expert3–8 hoursKES 2,800–5,000

    A day's work from someone who already knows how.

Escrow

The money is there before the work starts

A job cannot go live until the employer has paid for it. We hold that payment and release it only when the employer approves the work.

  • Instead of rejecting, an employer can ask for changes — nothing moves, and the worker fixes it and sends it again.
  • A rejection needs a reason, and the worker reads it. If they think it is unfair, support will look at the instructions and at what was sent.
  • Cancel a job and the unused escrow returns to the employer's wallet, with the unused share of the service fee.

Escrow is a holding arrangement we operate, not a bank deposit or an insured account. Read the Terms for the detail.

FAQ

Straight answers

How much can I earn?
That depends on which tasks are available, which ones you finish, and whether they are approved. These are small tasks that pay small amounts each. We do not promise an income and we cannot guarantee any level of earnings — anyone who tells you otherwise about this kind of work is selling you something.
What if the employer is not happy with my work?
They can ask for changes — a revision — which sends the work back to you with a note so you can fix it and send it again. No money moves and you keep your place on the job. They can also reject it, and then they must give a reason you can read. Rejected work is not paid, so read the instructions before you start. If you think a rejection is unfair, tell support within seven days — we read the job instructions and what you sent, and we decide how that money is settled.
What if I take a task and cannot finish it?
Every task has a deadline, shown before you accept it. If it passes with nothing delivered, the slot opens for someone else and any commitment you were holding goes to the employer. Taking work and not delivering it also pulls your level down, which means fewer tasks you can hold at once and fewer of the better-paid ones open to you. If you are not sure you can do a task, do not take it — nothing is lost by leaving it.
Do I need a computer?
No. The site is built for a basic Android phone and is light on data. All the work happens on the page — there is nothing to install and nothing to download. Some tasks, like design, are easier on a bigger screen.
Is my information safe?
We collect only what we need to run your account and pay you — name, email, phone and your task history. Employers see your name and the work you send, not your phone number or your wallet. We never ask for your M-Pesa PIN and we never need it. See the Privacy notice.
