Earning

A reliable second income for many, and a living for some. You are paid for what you choose to give: your time, your voice, your knowledge and your opinions. Never for what is quietly taken.

No fees, no paying to earn, and no earning from recruiting.

Your earnings can come from several kinds of work. Each is paid on its own terms.

Recording works in the app demo. Commissioned projects, Review & Training, teaching and health visit notes are in the pilot. Licence share, Requests, Teams and ownership are planned.

Ownership starts as revenue-share units, and becomes cooperative membership once the legal structure exists.

After accepted work with good scores, you can move up a level: contributor, reviewer, evaluator or tutor, specialist, then steward. Higher levels open work such as reviewing and evaluation, which pays a higher rate.

Money is earned when work is accepted, never at upload. Payouts go to mobile money or a bank account, and the target is within 48 hours of acceptance.

Nzinga confirms every payout by SMS before any money moves. You can cancel a payout until it is paid.

The pay floor is a multiple of the local minimum wage, as an hourly equivalent. Pay for each task is checked against real completion times.

Cooperative safety nets and an opt-in income record, which can help you get credit, are planned.

Your wallet shows what is pending, accepted and paid. Licence share is shown on its own line.

Pay is shown before you start any task, and you can set a weekly goal. Statements and yearly tax summaries are planned.

If you withdraw a recording, you keep what you were paid. It stops earning licence share.
