Joining the Network
You join by invitation. When paid work in your language is full, you join a waitlist. Your first money comes fast, and you never pay a fee.
By invitation
You join the Nzinga Network with an invite from a member who knows you. The person who invites you vouches for you.
Members start with a few invites and earn more as their work is accepted. An invite bonus goes to the direct inviter only. It is capped, and it is paid only after the new member’s work is accepted.
Communities come first: women’s groups, youth groups, cooperatives, radio stations, universities and faith groups. Each is planned to have a paid community steward.
Seats follow paid work
Seats open for each language and dialect as paid work comes in. When the work in your language is full, you join a waitlist.
This keeps earnings real for the members already in, and nobody is invited into a network with nothing to do.
Planned. The demo app accepts any invite code and has no waitlist.
Your first ten minutes
Joining is designed to take under ten minutes, from your invite to your first recording.
The consent check asks a few plain questions, so you know what the four choices mean before you record.
First money, fast
The target is your first money within 48 hours: your first recording is reviewed, accepted and paid to mobile money or your bank.
In your first week you get a daily one-minute prompt, a commissioned task or a request when one is available, and a circle of family or friends to record with.
Payouts through a payment partner. The demo shows the payout flow, and no money moves.
Levels
After accepted work with good scores, you can move up a level. Each level opens new kinds of paid work.
No fees, ever
Nzinga never asks you for money. There is no fee to join, nothing to buy and no deposit. Nobody earns from recruiting.
If anyone asks you to pay to join or to earn, it is a scam. Tell us through GitHub.
To lower your costs: zero-rated data with telecom partners or payouts in data bundles, a voice line for feature phones, and opt-in phone financing repaid from earnings.
