No matter how packed your schedule is, you probably get little pockets of downtime: waiting for coffee to brew, standing in line, that weird lag time between meetings—or even during a bathroom break.

What if you could make those five-minute stretches more productive—or even profitable?

That’s where microtasking comes in. It’s the idea of breaking tasks into bite-sized actions that add up over time. With KashKick, that might mean taking a four-minute survey, leveling up on your favorite game or claiming an exclusive deal. Before you know it, the earnings stack up!

Next time you find yourself idly grabbing your phone, try these microtasks using KashKick instead.

Surveys are short, simple and surprisingly satisfying.

On KashKick, start by completing your profile to unlock surveys. This takes less than a minute, and you’ll get $1. You can also complete the additional surveys for even more rewards, and KashKick is then able to use your answers to serve you relevant surveys that match your interests and lifestyle. 

One of the best parts is that KashKick tells you how long each survey takes so you can choose the ones that fit into your downtime—whether you have four minutes to spare or 30.

Some opportunities to earn on KashKick are as easy as downloading an app—like TikTok

If you’ve never signed up for TikTok, download it through KashKick and earn a reward when you make your first scroll within the first 24 hours. This is a nice way to give your brain a little break between work tasks, while earning.

If checking off items on your financial to-do list feels unwieldy, you’re not alone. This is where microtasking can be incredibly helpful—take a goal that feels overwhelming or intimidating and break it down into baby steps.

Next time you’ve got five minutes, start investing with Acorns. Acorns is a micro-investing app that’ll automatically invest your spare change from debit or credit card purchases. Like microtasking, you’ll be surprised how quickly it adds up!

Even better: Set up a recurring deposit for a nice KashKick bonus reward!

Love some healthy competition? With KashKick, you can earn rewards when you play games on your phone. Even if you’re not a big gamer, find versions of some of the classics you know you enjoy, like Bingo, Solitaire, Monopoly and even crossword puzzles. You’ll earn rewards when you hit certain milestones.

Check your KashKick dashboard to see which games and rewards are available.

Itching to do something that feels productive? Check your credit score. Sure, it doesn’t sound like the most fun thing in the world, but your credit score is important—especially if you want to make any big purchases down the road.

To get started, hop on KashKick and sign up for Credit Sesame. With Credit Sesame, you can learn the ins and outs of what impacts your credit score and find out how to improve it. (Again, it’s all about making use of your time and microtasking!)

Learning a second language is good for your brain. Whether you’re planning a big trip soon or just want to challenge yourself, start taking online lessons with Babbel. Use the app to learn through courses, podcasts and more. You can learn at your own pace and focus on topics most relevant to you.

Just one quick lesson a day can make a difference—95% of users improved their proficiency in another language in just two months, according to Babbel. Plus, earn a KashKick reward when you subscribe—and an extra one if you gift a subscription to a friend!

Amusez-vous! (Have fun!) 

And remember: Every small task adds up, especially when you’re getting paid to do it!
