8. You must have 10 or higher reputation.
   

How To Submit A BuySellServices Thread

If the above applies please complete the next set of steps:

1. Create your thread, it will go into a moderation queue. You should keep a copy of the thread text and title. Make sure your thread is a final edit, write it in Word first.
2. Send a PM to a one or more of the BHW staff, this should:
3. Include a brief summary of your proposed product/service and the pricing at the top of the PM.
4. Include the title used for your BST thread.
5. Include the full text of your proposed BST thread.
6. Include requirements, if any, for the moderator to review your service.
7. NOT be sent to 'Moderators In Training'.
8. It is required that a Moderator review your service, and it is expected that you provide the top level package or service if this is applicable. If you are unable to provide this, you are unable to service the large market that BHW provides.
9. Wait patiently to hear back from the staff regarding your services thread, DO NOT send follow up PMs requesting the status of your thread.
10. If your thread is approved pay a $20 listing fee via PayPal to payments@blackhatworld.com.

Why Was My BuySellServices Thread Denied?

Having a services thread is a privilege, not a right, staff are under no obligation to approve any thread.

If you do not receive a response from the staff after two weeks, assume that your thread has been denied. We do not discuss the reasons for denied threads, so don't PM asking, this will not get your thread approved.

Useful Advice:

Many of the moderators are available on IRC (irc.blackhatworld.com #blackhatworld), should you need to discuss your services thread or its status, it is appropriate to ask here. Be courteous though, as pestering the staff will result in your application being denied.

[morgan456]

you have share a new rule and thank you very much for updating us

[imcool2121]

new rules looks great....thanks for updating .

[Rajthepositivelife]

Thanks Zen19 for the update!

I am sure it is going to help a lot of members and of course reduce some load (of repeated messages) on you guys.

[jecter82]

I was so close to being able to post my service, now another 50 posts and $97 before I can. I understand the need for this though.

[lovelypotatoe]

Thanks for the clear and detailed rule! It's very helpful for newbie like me!

[wickedguy]

Thanks for clearing things up. Very thorough explanation.

[bl4ck]

It's really hard to open a service thread on BHW. it's good.

[linksmaster]

Can someone explain "You must have donor status."
After I have 100 or more posts.Do i need to send 20$ to open a service thread or how much.
Thanks for the help

Donor status means you need to have paid for a Jr. VIP subscription or made a Donation subscription membership, both of which cost $97 per year.

Then after you become a Jr.VIP or a Donor you get your service approved and pay $20 for the service thread listing.

[thegladiator]

Thanks for the new rules.

The Donor status thing is upsetting me a bit, but I know it is for the betterment of the forum.

I wish moderators remove that condition but no offense as you all guys rock and what you all are doing is for the benefit of my second family BHW.

What about service threads which were submitted for approval prior to these rule changes? Are they subject to these new rules?

[truepals_forever]

We love zen19

Oh! so to start my first thread i need to pay 97$+20$=117$ .
I know i get ROI very quickly because my service is good.Unfortunately the 97$ thing is difficult for provider like me.
If that rule has been changed we are happy.
That is you can place rule like after opening a service thread for 20$ here,we can pay donar status fee later like one month later or so,At that time we do have some money in our hand to afford it.

Hmm hope to get good answer from mod.And some support from our fellow members too

[zen19]

@linksmaster - thats the rule. If you consider that the price of being a donor and holding a services thread is too high, then BHW is not the place for you to be selling. There is no ability for you to upgrade later, that would place an unreasonable burden of work on the staff.

[JJayUrban]

So It is almost impossible to post anything anyway cheers ...

[zen19]

So It is almost impossible to post anything anyway cheers ...

Not at all if you have a good product/service and you are serious about providing quality work for the users of BHW its likely that your services thread will be approved.

What we dont want is substandard products offered by people whose only concern is making some bucks off BHW users. These rules serve to limit the amount of poor services and guard to a degree the members who buy products from the BHW marketplace.

No problem,
Best of luck to all existing members who benefited so far and going to benefit of this new rule because of less competition of providers.
Came here very late.This is not good news for new Quality providers my bad.
Surely Going to miss BHW.Even after being a quality provider but can't afford much now to provide my service here.

[remmaps]

I can not understand why is this grumble murmur around. If you want to drive Mercedes you have to pay the price. Period

There are rules if you are not agree just post your services in some other forum

[centurytuna]

i'm looking forward to post my services here in BHW. the thing is i need to make 100 post first so i can be a donor

few post to go! cheers to BHW!

[proxygo]

think about it bhw has Members:175,973
then think how many post for a bst which
the mods have to check out as well as taking
care of the day to day running of bhw.

then think how many scams get pulled on the
shit list for small amounts of money.

you can see why there doing this,
only serious people will apply because
work is involved to get 100 quality posts
+ donor rank.

it will lessen the work load and scare of
alot of possible trashy services.
its a good move.

[BassTrackerBoats]

If you want to drive Mercedes you have to pay the price. Period

Very well stated - + rep for that!

[shamster25]

If you can't afford $97 then how can you provide a great service? We all know you gotta spend money to make money..

I pay $500 alone /month in dedicated servers, proxies, linklicious, hosting etc...

[maheshalex]

Thank you for the new rule zen.Really good for new members..

[Jungle123]

Yeah, it's good to know!

[hari12345]

few post to go! cheers to BHW!

Still you got eighty post man....recently i have waste $100 in getting a new software instead of that if i have joined here as as a donor and started my service thread it would have been a great success..

[bulletservice]

Well BHW rules are changed but the good thing is BHW bro's are still same and kudos for the new rules. Stupid scammers will not even bother thinging about scamming anyone anymore. And yeah I am back after a long long time if someone remember me .... LOL I hope so (I really missed BHW a lot, used to be a second home for me)

[Jungle123]

It is always good if something changes! Other vice it's stinks usually Or scammers just adapt and scamm again!

[onegawad]

Thanks for the clear cut info, should help a lot of people out

[adbot]

1. You must be free from infractions and bans.

Does this mean that if you have ever had an infraction or ban that you can never start a sales thread? Or does it mean you must be free from these at the time of creating your thread?

[Hamstamasta]

lol I hope my literal 3 min perm ban from 7878 won't affect this: p

[seoguru13]

Thanks for the info. I like the changed rules and I just seem to have completed all of them, including the donor status. Can't wait to create my thread and start sales.

[alizaman]

Thanks for the info, I'll follow the rules. CHEERZ

[dhimust.cool]

thanks for the info, I will try to comply.

[meathead1234]

one thing i am looking for... Please tell me how to get donor status.

how much money i have to donate and how can i pay this money...

also what is fee for the thread. ( is it one time)

http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/payments.php

.... or $10,000 per month for Exec VIP...

[seosuperman1]

I think the new rules are great for real service providers!

[evilgary]

To open a service thread, which membership should i pay. Premium membership or Jr vip membership

[anuj291]

i had sent a new BST thread for approval 3 days back.. but i have still not heard back from any mods -- i already have one service selling at BHW ...

Does it take a week or so to get a reply from mods ?? please let me know

[AutoBlogger]
