Micro tasks: earn money online with simple tasks

Micro tasks (also written microtasks) are small online tasks that take minutes and pay individually once they are checked. App makers and survey partners pay for real people to do simple things, and you collect Tapkoins for each one you finish.

  • App testing tasks pay the most; surveys, the quiz and captchas pay less but are always there.
  • Every task shows its payout, proof and time limit before you claim it.
  • Following the steps exactly is what gets tasks approved.

The simple tasks you can do

App testing tasks

Install an app through the personal link the task gives you, then reach the goal: create an account, finish the tutorial, or get to a level. These pay the most, because the app maker gets a real new user. Some are confirmed automatically by the app partner within minutes; others need a screenshot that a person checks.

Online surveys

Short questionnaires that pay a fixed amount when you answer every question honestly. Rushed or contradictory answers are rejected by the survey partner. See online surveys in India.

Daily quiz

General-knowledge questions with a 60-second timer: 2 TPK per correct answer, up to 20 a day. See earning by answering questions.

Number captchas

Read five distorted digits and type them: 1 TPK each, up to 30 a day. See typing work.

How a task goes from claim to credit

  1. Read the card. Every task shows its payout, the proof it needs (none, a screenshot, a text or both) and the time limit.
  2. Claim it. The countdown starts; if it runs out you simply lose the claim.
  3. Do it exactly as described. Half-done tasks are rejected.
  4. Send proof. A screenshot up to 5 MB or the text the task asks for. Crop out anything private.
  5. Get checked. Automatic confirmations arrive within minutes; human checks usually within 48 hours, with a note if something is wrong.
  6. Hold, then withdraw. Credits are pending for 7 days, then available. Withdraw in USDT (TRC-20) from 10,000 TPK (about $10.00).

Tips to get more tasks approved

  • Use the task's own link to install, never the store search.
  • Keep the app installed until the task is credited.
  • Take the screenshot on the exact screen the task names.
  • Answer surveys honestly; consistency checks catch random answers.
  • One account per person and per device. Duplicate accounts lose their Tapkoins.

What micro tasks pay

Each task pays a small amount, shown before you claim it. App tasks pay the most; the quiz and captchas add a little every day. There is no promised income: it depends on the tasks open in your country and how many you finish properly. If you are new, start with earning online without investment.

Frequently asked questions

What is a micro task?

A small piece of online work that takes minutes, such as trying an app, answering a survey or typing a short code, paid individually once it is checked.

Why was my task rejected?

Usually the screenshot does not show the required screen, the app was installed through a different link, the goal was not reached, or the partner marked the install invalid. The checker note in My claims tells you which.

Do I need experience?

No. Micro tasks ask you to do something a normal user would do and reach a clear goal. Read the steps, follow them exactly and send the proof the task asks for.

How many tasks can I do?

Each task shows its own per-person limit, most app tasks once per person. There is also a daily cap on claims, and on the quiz and captchas, shown in the app.
