Beginner's Guide to SMM Panels

The Ecosystem

Source -> Panel -> You

The panel is a reseller 99% of the time. Most panels have 100% resold services. Some panels have some services sourced themselves, but few do. Then there are the panels that only offer a few services but they are the source for all services (rare).

The reason there are so many resellers is because it’s very easy to set up a SMM panel. You buy a script for like $30 and import the API from another panel and add 10% to all of the prices. That’s it.

When you buy from a reseller, the prices are obviously going to be marked up from the source. In fact, there may be multiple middlemen (panels) marking up the source’s price a few times over.

So, your natural instinct is probably to try and find the source of the service. However, this is a waste of time, because the source will always require a large deposit and/or monthly spend, which you do not have. (You probably can’t find the source regardless.)

So your only real option is buying from public panels like the ones in the BHW marketplace that accept small deposits.

How to Get The Best Prices of Whatever You Need

Since you know that most panels are resellers that resell the same services, you can be smart about which panel you buy from.

The thing is, panel owners are lazy. They will usually just pull their service descriptions directly from the source they are using. This means that lots of panels will have the same services, and you will know that because the descriptions are identical, or nearly identical.

If you find a service that works for you, use Google to find the cheapest provider of that particular service by searching for part of the description in quotes, followed by SMM not in quotes. For example, a popular YouTube views service has the line “Worldwide views added in a nonstop natural pattern”. So in order to find the cheapest reseller of those views, I would Google -- “Worldwide views added in a nonstop natural pattern” smm --. You will see every panel that has that service (assuming they haven’t changed the description).

Customer Support

Perhaps you are willing to pay a little more for a service if the panel has good customer support. This makes sense in general business, but not really when it comes to SMM panels.

Here’s why. If an order malfunctions for you, the panel owner is just as in the dark as you are. 99% of the time, any “support” you receive is just a guess, as they do not have the ear of the source. Even if they did, they don’t give a fuck about your $4 order not going through (sorry).

The best way to go about it is assume you will get NO customer support WHATSOEVER from whatever panel you choose. If a panel doesn’t have to worry about giving good support or refunds, they can give rock-bottom prices on their services. You don’t need customer support to navigate the world of SMM panels, anyways.

Reviews

When you’re trying to pick a panel to test, you’ll probably look at the reviews, and be taken aback at how almost all panels have at least a few bad reviews!

Most SMM panels are going to have shitty reviews because people are pissed off that the panel owner didn’t bend over backwards to give them hours of customer support on their $4 order (which the panel owner probably earned like 40 cents from). The panel I use has a terrible reputation... but it is the best and cheapest I have used.

So, don’t pay attention to reviews too much, at least in my opinion. They’re not even accurate, because someone might have left a review in 2016 singing their praises about Instagram likes, when the panel doesn’t have any working Instagram like services at the moment.

Cut Straight Through the BS

Using a test balance is OK if you are 100% broke. But you might blow your test balance on a non-working service and not make any progress.

The most effective way to find what you need in the world of SMM panels is like this...

1. Pick a panel that has been around for a few years that has multiple variations of the service you need.
2. Create different properties to test each service on the panel accurately. For example, if you are testing Instagram likes, create 5 new photos to test 5 different like services. Do not test them one after another on the same property.
3. If any of the services work to your liking, you have what you need, and you have just saved yourself a ton of time. You wasted a few bucks ($10 - $20) on shitty services, but it was totally worth it, because you have what you need until the panel updates or the service disappears.

Hopefully this helped some beginners. If you have anything else to add about SMM panels that you think would help others, post it below.

You forget to mention 3/4 are rubbish. Don`t deliver what they promise or deliver a galaxy later, drop a lot and also all have a 1998 style list with their services with bloody emoticons.

I said 3/4 because I don`t try all, but in my opinion, they are rubbish these days.

I struggle for five days to find even a decent one; NONE.

Also, they are resellers of resellers of other resellers. When the primary source fall, all fall. I realize that which makes them funny.

Clutch guide / good things to think about. For some reason I never thought of googling the text to see what comes up. Cheers.

This is really great, thanks for post!

Thanks for the post OP.
Can you tell me how they can access the third party accounts (Instagram, Facebook for example) to use in their services?

Lmao. Yes, it's a racket, and no panel is perfect - many have broken/slow/drop services and the descriptions are rarely accurate. In fact, there are probably many bad services on even the "best" panels. This is why you it's ideal to try to determine the sources by looking at the parts of the service that make it unique (description, title, guarantee time, speed, start time, etc. that is claimed) and test each service individually to save time/money, rather than just test all of the services on panel after panel, since a lot of them are probably the exact same (you're testing the same broken service over and over). Not always possible but it can save you time/money if it is possible.

I forget to mention in the original post that IMO it is never worth it to buy "guaranteed" services. They are like 5x more expensive and I have never had a service drop and then refill itself automatically. If anyone has actually had this happen, let us know.

That's the thing - most of them do not have their own accounts. They are just reselling. No idea what the sources of the services use, probably custom stuff that is hooked into the API.

It's a nice thread. Thank you.

It's not really a guide, it's just ranting about panels.

But I do agree with you on everything except on your forgiveness to failed orders. If you buy a service for yourself and it fails, it's ok. I'll live. But if you resell and people get mad because these panels don't work, that pisses me off. People paid me and then I paid the panel which doesn't complete the order. Now my customer wants a refund (which I give) and the support is just useless. It's a gamble between them refunding to your balance, completing the order days later or not doing anything at all.

Oh and those people who work as support in panels can suck my dick. They're absolutely useless. They're literally just emotional support. They can't do anything, are embarrassingly illiterate and 80% of their responses are ''sorry we will start your order ASAP!!!'' and then they just hope the order ends up going through.

Not to be a dick but this is entirely your fault. You are becoming a reseller for panel services you have not tested yourself.

Even if you're a large buyer/reseller for a particular panel... the panel owner probably CANNOT give you support because he does not know WTF is going on either and CANNOT afford to refund orders because he does not receive refunds from the source. So refunding a $10.00 order, where he made $1, actually costs him $9 out of pocket. I'm not defending the practices of panels here, but it's just how it works.

Expecting support from a social panel is like expecting support from a Chinese eBay seller who sold you a single iPhone charger for 99c with free shipping to bend over backwards for you. The person responding to your message probably doesn't have a clue what is going on, and whoever operates the eBay account doesn't give a shit about you regardless.

I can totaly agree with your post. After many tests and researches I managed to find best smm panels for my needs. In the smm world the key to success is to find the best working services. I worked for 1 year now with many smm panels It was not easy but if you want to be a good reseller it all depends on YOUR skills. I deposited high xxx$ in couple of month on only one smm panel so I know what I'm talking about! If your are good in sorting our the good services from the shitty not working one you can make bank.

Yeah It's true you dont have control over orders and panel support can't do much except telling you to wait. So the hardest part is not get any problems with your orders. You can't rely on support to fix your order. You must take action by yourself. You give money back to customer or you place another order so the customer will get what he did pay for even if it will be a loss-maker for you.

The argument ''you shouldn't expect it to work because that's the way it goes'' is bad and shouldn't be used. How is it my fault that it doesn't work? It's not the useless support's fault but it isn't mine either. Ultimately it's my pocket that suffers.

The only reason people buy from panels is because they have no alternatives. If there was something better, panels would all die out instantly.
This is why I like to work on my own stuff when software doesn't work and I'm working on my own youtube bot. I think I can figure it out.

А какую бы вы советовали панель новичкам что бы начать перепродажу свою . Что бы быть уверенным в ней хоть нат80%???

i wonder how much the source provider are making. everybody resell his/her service

Thanks for writing this guide. I'm curious though as to the point in buying engagement on Facebook? I understand that on YouTube getting high-quality views can help you rank. But with Facebook does it work the same way? Does buying engagement/views on a video, for example, increase its likelihood of being seen and shared by real people? Or is it just for vanity so you can sell yourself as a successful marketer?

Same question for Instagram. Does buying engagement actually help the content to be seen by real people?

Not sure tbh. In general, you can think about SMM panels like this. If you use the right services in conjunction with each other, you can get the results you want (e.g. buying 1,000 views and 200 likes that Facebook deems as 100% legitimate may help your organic reach on a post).

But if you use the wrong services, you may get no results, and you may even ruin your assets (e.g. buying 100,000 completely fake fans to a Facebook page will destroy your organic reach on all posts immediately and forever).

Make some test assets and buy some test services, then see what happens. It's the only way.

Once you get the basics down, you might also consider taking steps to decrease your reliance on inherently unreliable panels.

Nice write up.

I supply some services for some panels. I also use panels for delivering other services. It aint perfrct boys, but it works.

Its true about customer support generally being prwtty useless. That said, it actually fucking matters A Lot.

Lets say you order 1000 faceshit likes, and theyre supposed to be instant. A few hours go buy, a day goes by, and nothing. Now you want to cancel the order because you wanna buy from a different server or a different panel. So you contact them to cancel the order. They reply an hour later versus they reply 3 days later...

The difference? If they reply an hour later and cancel your shitty order you can buy the likes elsewhere and not have to worry about it.

If they reply 3 days later, and you buy the likes elsewhere and they get delivered in the meantime, theres a good chance the previous panel will also mark the order as completed, so now you can put your head between your legs and kiss your money goodbye.

And good luck arguing with the first panel that you actually bought the likes elsewhere and its the other panel that delivered. Can you even be absolutely sure every time which panel delivered your order in this scenario? Nope.

So quick customer support which has the ability to make moves is important. Customer support thats slow is no good. Even fast support that always has to "send order to coder" and "look into it" isnt gonna do you much good. You want fast support that can make moves.

Eh, there you go

And for you crackheads that are always looking for the most dirt cheap service in the universe, youre not doing yourself and/or your customers any favors.

Paying a little more and getting a better quality service, a better stick-rate, a lifetime refill warranty is better for you.

Dont be dick faces

I'm Pickle Riiiick!!!

Whole truth!! Great share OP

This is great, but in the wake of IG's authenticity crackdown, is getting into the reselling business still worth it? I'm new at this but the like/view selling market seems awfully over-saturated.
Is that a sign of opportunity or a warning to avoid it?

PS: Love BHW, but please no pat answers like: "It's great, IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!" You can say that about any activity.
