How I Made $200 a Month working online with just my smartphone

Most people, particularly those from Africa, find it hard to believe that the two aspects mentioned in this topic are achievable.

First is that you can’t make such an amount of money with your phone especially if you leave in Africa, second is that you can’t make up to $200 a month from online surveys if you leave in Africa.

So, Let me show you how I do it.

I registered for various survey website

When I decided to start making money online, at the time I needed the money to come in fast that’s why I decided to start taking surveys online and doing anything GPT (Get Paid To), I found out that most of the survey websites that I read about online either are not available for Africans or don’t have much surveys or tasks for Africans.

So I ended up registering for several of these websites. Now I can filter out the websites that work great for me from the ones that don’t pay me well, now I am in the exploit phase, and I just log in regularly to check for available tasks and surveys rather than spending much of my time trying searches online.

My advice is that when choosing the website to use, you should not only consider the websites that you can earn from but you should also be concerned about the options for withdrawing your earnings, I still have money from some survey websites that I can’t withdraw because there isn’t an available withdrawal option for people in my region or country.

I picked the month of May 2022, these are the websites that pay me and the screenshot of the payment I received to my account;

Toloka is not originally a survey website but I get lots of high-paying surveys from the website.

So from the websites that I listed above, I get $200 a month (sometimes more).

All these websites offer surveys from the same routers so how does that help?

Yes, these websites all get surveys from the same survey routers but sometimes you can miss a survey from one website and get it from the other websites but you cannot answer the same survey twice from different websites because of cookies and your profile details.

Also, sometimes surveys that don’t show up at all for you on one website might show up on another, it’s complicated but the result is that you get to answer more surveys than you would if you stick to one website.

If you want to know more about these survey websites, check out this link to my website How do paid surveys work and do I earn from it.

I am consistent and dedicated

I log in to these websites several times a day to check for available tasks and turn ON notifications to receive surveys and offers notifications when it’s available.

I don’t spend all my time on these websites because I have other things I do with my time like backend development and online courses, but I make sure that I don’t miss high-paying offers and surveys.

I invite friends to these websites and try out other earning options on the website

Another way to earn money from most survey websites is through referral commission, I invite my friends to join these panels and I get paid a small commission for inviting them, note that the date of this payment is before I started getting traffic to my website, so I don’t invite people at a massive scale at the moment just my family and friends.

In fact, at the time of this writing, my website is still having a traffic of just less than 3 visitors per day.

I try out other earning options on the website especially if it pays much money. Examples of these are; watching videos on TimeBucks, testing websites and playing games on TimeBucks, completing offers on Pagazani, completing tasks on Toloka, etc.

From all this, I just showed you how I make around $200 every month with my mobile phone, in fact, I make more than that amount per month because there are other GPT websites that I did not mention here, where I earn smaller amounts.

My advice though is that you shouldn’t hope to use earnings from survey websites to replace a real job as these are small, unpredictable, and can be based on luck.

If you would like to register for the survey websites, see the list of websites that have worked well for me. Thanks.

Top 7 Survey Websites to Earn Money in Africa (2025)

Earning opportunities for Africans on most popular survey platforms are very low. Many Africans search online for ways to make money online by answering surveys. This can be attributed to the unavailability of paid surveys meant for African demographics and to the unwillingness of Africans to answer surveys truthfully. Even with these issues you can still make cool and easy money from completing surveys, as an African. I faced these issues when I first started answering surveys to earn money, I kept searching online to find good survey sites that would pay me, the problem is that some survey sites don't accept Africans to register with them, and others accept Africans but don't have withdrawal options that are available in African countries so my money became stuck there, others don't have many surveys for Africans so I couldn't reach the minimum payout even after months of registering. I had so many friends who had to quit due to the stress after weeks of searching for...
