How Lesson Co-op Works

Lesson Co-op works similarly to many other cooperatives in the way that some of the profits are shared among its members. The co-op provides an online marketplace where members can sell their personally-created educational resources. Members are awarded points for various actions and sellers are paid in cash or points, depending on the payment method chosen by the buyer. At the end of the year, each active member is rewarded based on the points he or she has and the profit the co-op makes. In other words, points turn into cash and your share in the co-op determines your payout.
