The company offers video training built around Google's free "Hangout" service, available to Google Plus members. Global Hangout claims its training helps members improve both their personal and business lives. The company also states it provides access to "awesome" content, custom applications, and guidance on marketing oneself or a brand with Google Plus.
Global Hangout affiliates earn upfront recruitment commissions and residual income through a binary compensation structure, along with a check match bonus.
Affiliates receive $100 for every three new members they recruit. An additional $20 goes to the direct upline of the affiliate who earns this commission.
The binary compensation structure places an affiliate at the top with two legs below them. These legs represent member positions, which new recruits fill. Each leg then branches into two more, creating a growing structure of member positions filled by recruitment.
Global Hangout pays affiliates $20 for every 2:2 ratio pair of new members recruited into their binary structure. This means two new members on the left side and two on the right. When this commission generates, $5 also goes to the upline of the qualifying affiliate.
Affiliates must recruit one new paid member to both their left and right binary teams every 90 days to qualify for binary commissions.
Binary income is capped based on affiliate ranks: Affiliates can earn up to $3,000 a week, Executives up to $6,000 a week, Masters up to $18,000 a week, and Global rank members up to $36,000 a week. Global Hangout's compensation plan materials do not provide specific qualification criteria for these affiliate ranks.
The company also offers a Check Match Bonus.
