    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
