Make Money by Recording Homework: the tasks that pay the most
Wash dishes. Fold laundry. Organize the closet. These are tasks that you already do for free, every single day, without thinking twice. The difference between continuing to do it for free and turning it into extra income is a headband costing less than R$40 and an app installed on your cell phone.
If you have already read the complete guide on recording videos to train AI, you know how the general scheme works. Here the idea is to go deeper specifically into domestic tasks: which categories exist, which pay more and how to organize a recording day without wasting time. It's the type of detail that makes a real difference in the balance at the end of the month — two people recording the same number of hours can end up with very different results just by choosing which tasks to prioritize.
The organization behind the appThe 4 categories of household chores
Most platforms organize homework assignments into four similar blocks. This helps the algorithm balance the database — and helps you better plan what to record each day.
| Category | Task examples | Typical difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen | Washing dishes, cutting vegetables, putting away shopping, cleaning the stove, organizing the fridge | Easy |
| Clothing/Laundry | Sort dirty clothes, put them in the washing machine, fold them, iron them, put them in the closet | Easy |
| Organization | Make bed, organize closet, store toys, organize bookshelf | Easy to medium |
| Miscellaneous / Outdoor area | Washing car, watering plants, sweeping yard, small repairs, maintenance | Medium |
You don't need a tidy house to start
No platform asks for a magazine scenario. The robot is learning how a real house works — dirty dishes are literally the starting point of the task. Relax with aesthetics and focus on performing the task the way you really do it.
Straight to the pointTo-do list by category
Within each block, platforms usually detail dozens of variations. Here is a practical list of the ones that appear the most, separated by room:
- Kitchen: washing dishes by hand, loading/unloading the dishwasher, cutting and preparing food, putting away grocery shopping, cleaning countertops and stoves, organizing food cupboards
- Laundry: sort dirty clothes by color, put clothes in and take them out of the machine, hang them out or use the dryer, fold items, iron them, store them in the closet by category
- Organization: make the bed, organize the wardrobe, store toys, organize bookshelves and shelves, organize clutter drawers
- Outdoor area and miscellaneous: washing the car, watering and pruning plants, sweeping the yard or sidewalk, small repairs with tools, organizing the garage
Where is the extra money“Trending” tasks pay more
As we mentioned in the main guide, platforms periodically signal which categories are missing examples in their database — and these tasks usually pay around 20% more than the standard rate while the shortage lasts.
In practice, outdoor areas, vehicles and maintenance appear "on the rise" more frequently than cooking, probably because fewer people think about recording this type of task. It's worth checking the list within the app before deciding what to record that day. This changes week to week — a task that's trending today may leave the list next Tuesday, and another may take its place.
Take advantage of cleaning day to record in batches
As payment is per approved hour, heavier cleaning days yield more than individual sessions. If you've already set aside Saturday morning to organize your house, attaching the support to your head before starting is the most efficient way to turn that time into savings.
The category that almost everyone forgetsThe bathroom also counts
Many people only focus on the kitchen and laundry and forget that the bathroom is one of the richest environments in movement variation — and therefore, more valuable for the database. Cleaning the sink, organizing the medicine cabinet, changing towels, organizing hygiene products: these are tasks involving a lot of fine manipulation of small objects, exactly the type of movement that robots still have difficulty reproducing.
The extra care here is privacy: mirrors reflect the entire environment, so it's worth checking what appears reflected before recording. And, of course, toiletries with a visible name are not a problem — what needs attention are documents, prescription medicines or anything that identifies you or your family.
Another practical advantage of the bathroom: it is a small space, so the head strap rarely loses sight of the object, unlike the kitchen, where you move more between the sink, stove and countertop. This tends to generate more stable videos and, consequently, easier to approve the first time.
Putting it into practiceA day of recording, in practice
A routine that works well for those just starting out: choose a day when you were going to clean anyway — Saturday morning, for example — and organize the sequence like this:
- 01
Cook first
Breakfast dishes, organize refrigerator, clean countertops. Simplest task to warm up.
- 02
Laundry next
Separate, place in the machine, and while washing, take the opportunity to fold clothes from the previous line.
- 03
Home organization
Make a bed, store objects out of place, organize a drawer or closet.
- 04
Outdoor area last
If you're willing, end the day with a yard, car or plants — it usually pays more.
You don't need to do all four steps on the same day. Many people who record regularly prefer to spread it out over the week — cooking in the evening after dinner, laundry on the weekend, outside when the weather cooperates. The important thing is to maintain a minimum routine, because the availability of tasks disappears if the account is inactive for a long time, and the history of consistent recordings also tends to weigh in favor when it comes to releasing higher-paying tasks.
Doing the mathHow much each block yields
| Task block | Approximate range | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 30 minutes cooking | R$ 12,50 a R$ 15 | Short task, good to start |
| 1 hour of full laundry | R$ 25 a R$ 30 | From separating to storing in the closet |
| 1 hour of outdoor area (in high) | R$ 30 a R$ 36 | With a ~20% bonus when prioritized |
*Estimates based on the range of R$25 to R$30 per approved hour cited in reports from those using these platforms in Brazil. Always check the current value within the application.

Before recordingSpecific Housekeeping Mistakes
- Stopping in the middle to answer the phone or intercom
- Leaving the TV on at high volume in the background (disrupts audio when required)
- Switching tasks in the middle of the video without finishing the previous one
- Leave your wallet, key or personal cell phone visible on the counter
- Pet entering and leaving the frame all the time
None of these errors are serious — they are just details that reduce the chance of approval on the first try. It's worth reviewing this list mentally before pressing "record". With two or three practice sessions, this becomes automatic and the pass rate rises naturally.
A dirty kitchen is not the problem. It is literally the starting point of the task you are going to record.
Where to record these specific tasksWhich platform focuses more on domestic tasks
Not every platform gives the same weight to homework. A Hub Data is the most specifically focused on this type of collection — the app organizes everything into kitchen, clothing, organization and miscellaneous categories, exactly as we describe here. Already the Claru e a Mimix AI They also accept domestic tasks, but share space with other areas, such as garage, gaming and commercial work.
If your strong point is precisely your home routine, it's worth starting with Hub Data and using the others as a complement on days when the list of available tasks is shorter. We detail how registration works and its specific approval in Is Hub Data reliable? How it works.
One last tip from those who have recorded hundreds of tasks: always keep the same head strap adjusted in the same position. Adjusting the angle every time you change tasks is time-consuming and increases the chance of recording crookedly without realizing it. Adjust once, mark the position with a piece of tape if necessary, and repeat.
Still in doubt?FAQ
Do I need to clean the house before recording?
No. The objective is precisely to capture the task being done from beginning to end — including the initial mess. A kitchen with dirty dishes is the normal starting point of the "dishwashing" task, not a problem.
Can you record more than one task in the same session?
Yes, and it is often the most efficient way to use time. Finish a task, stop recording, start the next — each is evaluated separately by the platform.
What are “trending” tasks?
These are categories that the platform is currently prioritizing because there is a lack of examples of that type in its database. They appear marked within the app and usually pay extra on top of the standard fee.
Do outdoor tasks pay more than indoor ones?
Often yes, because they appear more often on the "hot" list — washing the car, working in the garden and small repairs tend to be more scarce than kitchen tasks, which anyone can easily record.
Can I record tasks with my child or spouse nearby?
The ideal is to ask other people to leave the room before recording. Third parties appearing in the scene without authorization is one of the most common reasons for video disapproval.
