What is my "Default Product?"

After your first month, you then can choose to shop in the Global MarketPlace and select items which add up to your monthly qualifications to remain "Active" and earn commissions of either $33BV* (or £23) or $99BV* (or £69).

Or

You can simply choose the "Default Products" below which are defined as HUB's TOTAL IMPACT PRODUCTS!

What are the Benefits of selecting specific purchases each month?

The benefit is that you get to choose where and to whom you want your Impact to go to. You can choose products that benefit children in Africa, women in Afghanistan, previously incarcerated women in the United States, and more. And any products you purchase in the Compassionate Commerce section "automatically" distributes impact dollars to HUB's Impact Partner Programs, currently including Youth Action International, Pachamama Alliance and RainCatcher.

What are the Benefits of choosing the "Default" HUB's TOTAL IMPACT PRODUCTS?

The benefit to our world impact is HUGE. You are supporting the many sustainable programs already established - and growing! - with our Impact Partners that you see on our "Doing Good" website page. It is essential that programs that have already been created and are relying on HUB member support and growth to keep them running successfully impacting tens of thousands of lives! Examples would be the education packages and training for the women at Liberia's Women Empowerment Centers, the continued education programs for the Microloan groups in Kenya, the buying of equipment for and building of schools, the continued advancement of the Awakening the Dreamer Symposiums by Pachamama Alliance, etc.

What happens if I forget to choose products one month? Do I still remain "Active" and eligible for commissions?

Don't worry! If you forget to go shopping during any month, our system will "automatically" choose the HUB DEFAULT PRODUCTS! So every month your still contributing to massive impact with your purchase.

Who selects the products for the Global Marketplace?

Your company must also comply with the established business profit and commission structure set forth within the HUB Global Marketplace compensation plan model.
