  • Receive between 20-33% commission on any sale generated by you on Barefoot's site (i.e via banner ads and web-content tagged with your ID)
  • Receive between 20-33% commission on sales made at your Barefoot Business Website, if you subscribe.

When you register as a Stallholder, you gain access to an online office where you can communicate with Barefoot, place orders for books and marketing materials, and download your banner ads, web-content and marketing resources. You will receive the support of a sponsor, e-training modules, and can order a 70-page manual with advice on setting up and running your business. We run community forums, online conference call training and regular free workshops!
