How to earn on task2k
Step-by-step — from signing up to receiving your first payout. Most new testers complete this in under an hour.
Sign up at app.task2k.com
Use the email you check every day — that's how new study invitations and payout confirmations reach you.
Complete your profile (the 80% rule)
Companies pay extra to reach specific audiences — Lagos professionals, Igbo speakers, full-time freelancers. You only see studies that match your profile, so the more you fill in honestly, the more studies match you.
You need to be at least 80% complete before you can take paid studies. The blocking required fields:
- Full name, phone, and one bank account for payouts (verified via Paystack)
- Date of birth, gender, state, and LGA
- Employment + income bracket
- Device and internet access
Pass the qualification test
This is a short recorded test we use to filter out unserious testers and bots. You speak aloud as you complete a small task, then answer a few questions. An admin watches your submission and either approves you (you get a star rating, you're in) or asks you to retry once.
Tip: Use a quiet room. Speak in clear English (or Pidgin — both are fine). The admin needs to hear you, not the background.
Install the task2k Recorder (for recording studies)
Most paid studies involve screen recording — you'll need our free Chrome extension. The extension shows the test questions in a side panel while you complete the task on the actual website / prototype.
Install the Chrome extension →
- Recording happens entirely on your laptop / desktop — phones can't record yet
- You must share your entire screen, not a single window
- Microphone must be allowed — talk-aloud is the most valuable signal
Browse and apply to studies
Your tester dashboard shows every paid study you currently qualify for — sorted by reward. Click any study to read what it's about, what device it needs, and how long it'll take.
Some studies have a quick screener questionnaire before you can claim a spot. Heads-up:
- You can't go back in the screener — answer carefully
- You can only have one active study at a time. Finish or cancel before starting another.
Take the test (the actual fun part)
Click Start test and the extension side panel opens with the test questions. Read the task instructions, share your screen, allow your microphone, and begin.
What companies want to hear:
- Narrate what you're thinking — "I'm clicking this because…" / "I expected this to do X but…"
- Don't pretend things are great. Honesty earns better ratings.
- Finish what you start — partial recordings count against your completion rate
Get paid
Survey studies pay instantly on submission. Recording studies are reviewed within 72 hours — if the company approves, payout queues automatically.
Payouts run via Paystack to your verified Nigerian bank account. We don't take a cent from your earnings — the company pays the platform fee separately.
