Hello,
If I were to briefly describe myself, it would be most accurate to say that I have spent the last 10 years as both an SMM panel owner, user, and reseller. For 8 years, I managed my own SMM panel, and I might be the first person of Ukrainian origin to operate such a system. During those 8 years, I worked with the largest providers + I sold my own data services to today’s largest panels when they had only 5,000-10,000 orders. In total, I made sales close to 10 million, earned substantial amounts of money, and, as an inevitable part of the SMM panel sector, got scammed by fraudulent panels. My friends include the owners of Justanotherpanel, Morethanpanel, Bulkfollows, and Smmraja, to whom I sold and from whom I bought services. I was the 5th SMM panel to start using the PerfectPanel system and have a long-standing friendship with Victor (the owner of PerfectPanel).
Now, why am I telling you all this? As you know, the SMM panel sector is a boundless abyss. Unlike when we started, there are now thousands of SMM panels, and unfortunately, 99% of them are scammers. In this tangled web of providers and resellers, I wanted to share all my experiences and the secrets of the SMM panel world (which nobody wants to share on the internet) with you, having spent 10 years in this sector and exited about 2 years ago.
My aim is to create a very clean roadmap for those who want to take their first step in this sector. I hope this article helps you (those with more questions can reach me via DM). 
- Is There a Single Main Provider Panel? If so Which Ones are They?
This is probably the most frequently asked question about the SMM panel world 🙂 No, friends, there isn’t a single main provider panel. Quite the opposite, there are providers just in their own field or social media niche. In short, you can never have all main provider services through a single panel. Another common misconception is that the main provider always offers the cheapest price and stable services. No, friends! Even if you find a main provider panel, there is a 70-80% chance that the services of these main providers are cheaper on today’s largest SMM panels. So
LESSON 1- Do not focus on the find provider, focus on the advance support and hight completed rate panels 🙂
- How can We Understand If a Panel is a Main Provider or Not? Very clearly! Main provider panels focus only on specific social media channels. The claim that a panel, claiming to be a main provider, provides different services for 4-5 platforms is completely false. Although I cannot vouch for any panel, the best example in the sector is Spotifypanel. They have a single focus: Spotify services, and after using the panel a bit, you can easily tell that 70-80% of the data is their own.
The second method of understanding is through prices. You will never see a fractionated price on a main provider’s panel. You will not see a price like $10.123 on any main provider panel. This is a reseller price that includes their commission. Provider %99 use certain price value like $1 – $2.50 
- How Do Main Providers Offer These Services? What Kind of Bot System Do They Use?
Ten years ago, everything was so simple that I can even say without hesitation that I was the first person in the sector to have a Facebook follower service (even though I had no bot knowledge). With minimal automation and coding knowledge, you could create your own bot, and it would work stably. However, with the ever-growing digital world and social media platforms taking measures against bots, this job now requires deep coding knowledge.
Let me immediately say that if you think you can download a bot from GitHub or buy a social media bot sold on a forum and enter this sector as a provider, forget it. Social media platforms release updates almost every week. The key is not just to get or find a working bot, but to ensure that the bot you purchase is regularly updated every week. This means that at least one person on your team must have advanced coding knowledge.
If you ask what the most commonly used bot coding system is, the answer is “REQUEST”. This is the system used by 95% of SMM panel providers worldwide (those with some coding knowledge will understand what I mean).
- There are thousands of different SMM panel resellers and providers from India, Bangladesh, Turkey, Russia, and the USA. If We are Using an SMM Panel for the First Time, Should We Consider the Region of the Panel?
Both yes and no. First, you need to know that the backbone of this sector is formed by Indians and Bangladeshis. There are both very large providers and the biggest scammers among them. Generally, you can find cheap services in these countries, but the cheaper the prices, the lower the order completion rate and customer support (e.g., peakerr – Elitesmm).
Turkish panels rank 3th. They are middle-ground panels. They are neither as cheap as Indian panels nor as bad in support (e.g., Smmturk – Bestsmmprovider).
Russian and Ukrainian panels are more focused on the provider side. Their support is very poor, but their bots are as good as those of the Indians.
European and American panels: Although they entered the sector 3-4 years later than other regions, I can comfortably say that these countries’ panels are currently the best in terms of support and service quality (e.g., Morethanpanel – Fivebbc – Clousty). 
- I Want to Open an SMM Panel. Do You Think It is Still Worth Investing in This Business, or More Explicitly, Can I Make Money?
Both yes and no. If your business plan is to open a reseller panel and sell by adding a 25-30% profit margin to your provider prices, I would say don’t start this business at all. It is almost impossible to gain volume or make a profit by doing reseller sales in a market dominated by giants like Justanotherpanel, Morethanpanel, and Bulkfollows. Unfortunately, those who opened smm panels this way between 2015-2019 all made a fortune, but in 2024 circumstances, this is nearly impossible.
So how can we make money as smm panel owner?
- You need to specialize in a niche area. Your goal should not be to sell all services but to sell just one service. If it’s YouTube, you should be solely a YouTube panel. You need to find the biggest providers in the YouTube space and establish your SMM panel with excellent customer support.
- You need to have your own bot 🙂 This is the shortest and most direct way, friends. With a very basic TikTok follower bot, there is nothing stopping you from reaching daily sales of $3-5k within a month.
- What are the Oldest SMM Panels and Which is the Largest in Terms of Sales volume?
Unfortunately, the first or oldest SMM panels are no longer active websites. The first SMM panels were likely established around 2013 when Instagram became popular, but they were not exactly like today’s SMM panels. The foundations of today’s SMM panels were laid around 2016, but we can safely say that sites like igfollowers.com, igrbooster.net, and youtubelikes.com were the ancestors of the first SMM panels.
Among the SMM panels still active today, morethanpanel.com ( former bestpanel ), Peakkerr, and smmfollows are easily the oldest.
In 2024, we can easily point to Justanotherpanel as the largest SMM panel in terms of sales volume. 
- For Those Wondering, “Hey, weren’t you going to tell us the best SMM panel providers or the best SMM panels you’ve used?” This Section is For You 🙂
Yes, friends, I have tried to share my 10 years of experience in this article, but I know that ultimately everyone is curious about one thing: What are, in my opinion, the best SMM panels and SMM panel providers?
Unfortunately, most of the providers from 5-6 years ago are no longer selling today (I’m sure most have found much easier ways to make money like I did). To avoid misleading anyone or promoting any particular panel, I would like to share some panels that I know are providers for each social media platform at the beginner level (let me reiterate that no provider always delivers 100%, so keep this in mind when placing your orders).
IG PROVIDER: igvoe.com – postlikes.com - morethanpanel
Youtube Provider: tube-boost.com
TikTok Provider: morethanpanel.com
Spotify – Music Services: Spotifypanel.com
Reddit Provider: boostupsmm.com
Facebook Provider: fastsmm.io
Twitch Provider: morethanpanel.com – globalsmm.com
( psi: we almost know all provider on market but I don’t wanna brand this thread as some promotion address – above ones are the most stabil provider for long years that ı can easily reference )
Let me reiterate that these are the panels we have used for long years and I’m sure that they are providers, but never forget that working directly with providers is not always the best solution. It might even be more expensive than a reseller, or the reseller panel’s support might make you happier than the provider’s support. Because they have higher volumes, they have more leverage over the providers.
- Finally, let’s address the last topic: What are the Best SMM Panels We Have Used So Far, or More Precisely, Which SMM Panels Would I Use if I Started from Scratch Today as resellers? (a mix of providers and resellers).
Actually, this should have been the first question smm panel user or owners need to ask. Unfortunately, everyone looks for providers and ends up getting scammed by the cheapest services. Our main goal should be to find panels that are as cheap as possible and have good support. Based on our 10 years of experience, the panels that have almost never given us any problems whenever we had idle services or used their services are:
Morethanpanel.com : Formerly Bestpanel Morethanpanel.com. A site that sells both its own bots (TikTok – Twitch – Spotify, as far as I know) and services with very low reseller margins. Nearly 25% of our services were connected to this panel until 4-5 months before we put our panel up for sale, and I can say their support speed is by far the best on the internet.
Smmraja.com: One of the oldest but one of the best. Prices are a bit higher than Morethanpanel, but the variety of services is almost five times more.
Fivebbc.com: If you want to sell guaranteed services despite the high cost and your customers are exclusive, this should be your go-to panel. Their service prices are quite high, but that’s exactly the niche they occupy—expensive but guaranteed services. I’m sure there are cheaper panels from those ones but as I underline in this threads 3x times. Your main priority need to be find most stabil and good support smm panel.
- For those Who Already Have an SMM Panel but Want to Know the Best Marketing Methods for SMM Panel :
Up to this point, I’ve talked to you as much as possible about how to find the right panels and providers, friends. But unfortunately, even if you are 100% successful in this matter, it doesn’t matter at all unless you can drive traffic to your panel. So, the answer to how we will drive traffic to our panel lies in SMM panel marketing. Here are the most effective SMM panel marketing methods we have observed so far, friends:
1. Of course, Blackhatworld: I can say openly that this is the first place a person entering the SMM panel world would visit. It’s an incredible source of traffic. If you are opening an SMM panel for the first time, you definitely need to have a thread in the SMM panel section.
2. SEO: Yes, it’s the hardest but the most effective method that will bring you millions if you succeed. Because thousands of people still have their first SMM panel experience with Google searches like “smm panel” or “cheap smm panel.”
3. Google Ads: As you know, Google is quite problematic when it comes to advertising SMM panels. If you try to do this on your own, there is a 99% chance that your Google ads account will be banned. The best method is to work with an advertising manager who specializes in advertising in such sectors.
4. SMM Listing Websites: If it’s free, add your panel to all SMM panel listing sites on the internet without wasting any time.
5. Quora – Reddit: I don’t think Quora is as strong as it used to be, but Reddit is still a very powerful source for SMM panel marketing. Just be careful not to advertise your panel openly, or you’ll get banned immediately.
6. Discord Group: Especially effective for India and Pakistan. Either announce your panel in relevant Discord channels or advertise directly on your own server.
7. Skype – Telegram Spam: Yes, most of you might be hearing this for the first time, but the SMM world, especially providers and big resellers, operates entirely through Skype and Telegram. There are hundreds of groups on Skype where SMM panel owners gather. Join these groups and promote your services.
So that’s all from me mates. Hope you find these threads useful and help you during your smm panel journey.
Please do not hesitate to ask your questions under this thread.
