Finally, there's a no-tech-knowledge-needed alternative to Etsy. I'm really excited about where this will go!

You can earn the buy in by supporting the site with "member activities" which you can read more about here https://artisans.coop/pages/membership

Points can be purchased (1 point/US dollar) or can be earned from member activities (such as hanging up flyers or joining a team), sales, purchases, referrals, handmade verifications, and more. Learn more about our Points & Tiers Policy.

Most member activities currently earn 25 points/hour, so undertaking one full time week of member activities (40 hours) in most cases will earn you the 1,000 points you need for membership.

The application could be better laid out; it should lead with that, instead of hit with the $1,000 upfront ask. Feels off, NGL.

But it doesn't. You can pay with work for the co-operative instead of actual money. It says in the article that they have the point system exactly for this; people who can't afford the cost
