Banners Broker Panels

Dear friends my previous post about banner brokers was Banners Broker Admin Fee & eWallet. Now I'm going to share information about Banners Broker Panels.

Banners Broker Panels are at the heart of the entire banners broker system.

Do you still remember what a panel is?

A panel is an ad spot or ad spots on someone else’s website(s) which you have under your control.

How did you gain control of it in the first place?

You acquired control of these ad spots by buying a package from banners broker. This purchase included a certain number of panels as part of the deal.

What does it mean when you say that you have control of a panel?

Since banners broker controls those ad spots on other people’s websites, your purchase of a package means that you have now rented those ad spots (panels) from banners broker and have taken control of the income gained from people advertising in those ad spots.

All of this goes on behind the scenes and you wont know which websites are hosting your panels or what ads are being displayed on them. Banners broker takes care of all that. All you will see is the amount of money you are making from a particular panel.

When you buy a package, you are given all the panels under that color included in your purchase. For example, if you buy the green package, it will include the yellow, purple, blue and the green panel itself. But remember, buying a package is a one-off thing and it’s done when you start with banners broker. To make more money after your initial purchase, you need to obtain more panels which you would do by buying them individually.

Look in the back office to see the prices you will pay for each panel…

You can see that with each panel purchase, you also receive impressions which you can use to advertise your own business (as we have already covered).

The higher the panel, the more money you will make from it.

So the question is, when do you get paid and how much?

The amount you will be paid is simple. When the income from your rented panel reaches twicewhat you paid for that panel, you get paid!

So lets say you buy a single green panel for $270. Now, that ad spot (panel) which you have rented from banners broker is sitting on some publisher’s website making money for you day by day.

When that panel has accrued $540 ($270 x 2) revenue, that money will be put into your eWallet account all ready for you to withdraw or reinvest into another couple of panels.

So how long does it take for the panel to reach twice the amount you paid for it?

Well, that depends on the amount of people that visit the website which accommodates your panel. And since no one can control that, the time varies.

Screenshot of Panels:

But general guidelines have been given with regards to panel payout times. Here they are:

Yellow: 15-25 days
Purple: 4- 6 weeks
Blue: 8 – 10 weeks
Green: 3 – 4 months
Red: 5-6 months (4 months with a traffic booster)
Black: 7-8 months (6 months with a traffic booster)

We’ll discuss traffic boosters in another lesson but for now, you can see roughly how long it would take for a given colored panel to pay out.

With these guidelines, you can plan ahead. When you have multiple panels (maybe even hundreds) all finishing at different times you may see a payday almost every day. Then, as the panel pays out, you can withdraw some of that money and you can also reinvest the rest to buy more panels. This creates a perpetual income train which continues for as long as this system remains in existence.

As a quick example, if you bought the red package when you first joined banners broker, this would have included the yellow, purple, blue, green and red panels within your purchase.

Your purchase would have cost you $1225 (including first month admin fee).

The red panel takes the longest to mature out of these panels (5-6 months). So within that time you would have paid $15 x 5 = $90 in admin fees.

After a few weeks, the yellow panel would have paid out and you would have received $20. After that, the purple would have paid out for another $60. Then the blue after that with another $180. This is followed by the green with $540. Finally, the red is the last one to mature paying out $1620.

So all in all, your costs were $1225 + $90 admin fees = $1315

Your gross income over that time period was: $20 + $60 + $180 + $540 + $1620 = $2420

Your profit = $2420 – $1315 = $1105.

It doesn’t seem like much does it? But are you realistically going to call it a day after that or are you going to reinvest your profits for a while? Are you going to start with the standard number of panels included in your package or are you going to buy more? Are you going to do this haphazardly or are you going to use a strategy to maximize your profits?

There are a number of things you can do to boost your income and some of that comes down to strategy and knowing what to do and when. This is something I will teach you when you are ready.

But for now, don’t look at the above net income and think “that’s rubbish“, coz that’s just a bare-bones example. There are things you can do to make your income look much better.

Ok, now you know why you should buy panels and the income you can expect from them and timeframe it will take to expect a return.

So how do you keep track of your panels to see how much money it has accrued?

Inside your back office, go to Manage Inventory >> View Panels.

Here, you will see a visual representation of how your panels are doing. Check a yellow panel in your back office so you know what I am referring to.

When you visit View Panels, you will initially only see the yellow panel. You can tell it’s yellow because of the color on the left hand side. To view the other colored panels in your account, simply click on the relevant color (above the panel) to see how it is performing.

Initially, it may seem overwhelming as there are lots of sections on just one panel.

Let’s go through some important items on the above panel so you can learn to read and understand its meaning.

The panel itself is the middle part of the image. First, you’ll see the unique reference number (S73LX2ZEBMWK) which identifies your panel (on a publisher’s site).

Underneath that, it tells us that this panel type is complimentary.
When you buy a panel that comes with your initial package purchase, it will always be classified as a complimentary panel. In other words, you don’t need to pay to get it started. It’s all done for you. I’ll talk more about complimentary and non-complimentary panels in the next lesson. The “Date Qualified” info will be explained in that same lesson, since its all related.

Underneath that yellow area, you can see a dimmed out Transfer button. If it was active, you could have used that button to transfer this panel over to someone else. For example, you may have told a friend about Banners Broker and maybe he didn’t have enough money to buy a panel at some point, in which case, you may have bought a panel for him and then transferred it to him using this button.

But once you redeem (activate) your package, you can’t transfer its panels to anyone.

The Lock button also prevents transfers to anyone else. So whenever you buy a new panel on its own, this button will be available for you to click. The first thing you should do is click it and lock the panel. This prevents the panel from being transferred to someone else and will also make the “Get Impressions” button active so you can collect your impressions (as discussed in the  Managing Your Banners Broker Campaigns lesson).

The orange bar and the dollar figure above it is the most exciting part of the panel. It shows you how far along you have come. The two dollar figures (above the orange bar) represent the income. The second figure tells you how much your revenue has to reach before the panel pays out. Thefirst figure shows how much revenue it has generated so far. In the panel above, so far it has made $16.39 out of $20. When it reaches $20, I’ll get paid.

The orange bar is a visual representation of the same information. When it reaches the end of the line, you will be paid $20.

The repurchase setting can be set to either 50% or 100%. This setting is quite important and will determine how you conduct your business.

If this is set to 100%, your panel will be set to pay you when it reaches $20 (in the yellow panel above), and then it will take all your money ($10 original investment and $10 profit) and it will reinvest that amount back into the system for you to buy 2 more panels of the same color – 2 x $10 = 2 yellow panels. When that’s ready to pay out, the system will reinvest that again and you’ll end up with 4 yellow panels and so on… This happens for all the panels you own of any color.

If the setting is set to 50%, when the panel is ready to pay out, it will put the profit ($10 for the yellow panel above) into your eWallet, ready for liquidation (withdrawal) and it will reinvest the original amount ($10) back into the system so you have another panel that’s ready to go. This way, you get to keep earning while keeping your hand in the system making you additional money.

If you don’t have a need for your money anytime soon, keep it set to 100%. If you need money as you go along, set it to 50%. Read about my strategy for the best method to manipulate this setting.

The box labeled Panel Qualified and Complimentary and the other box showing Comp 1 will be discussed in the next lesson.

If you click on any of the colors above the panel, you will be taken to the panels you own of that color. It will give you the same information except it will be for that particular color.

The numbers underneath those colors and the 2 boxes of information above those colors will be discussed in another lesson.

This concludes our lesson on banners broker panels. By now, you should be comfortable looking at panels and be able decipher what most of the parts mean.

Dear friends will move on to discussing Complimentary Panels and Panel Qualification on our next post.
