To make the most of the Free IBO Toolbox, you need to earn and maintain your five star rating. When other IBOers see your User Level at five or six stars, they know that you are a valued and participating member of IBO Toolbox. IBOTOOLBOX ONTRACK on the Dashboard shows your current status and what you need to address to gain or regain your five or six stars.
You Receive IBO Stars for:
Completion of Steps 1 thru 3 of your IBO Profile with 200x200 Photo and Business.
Active Banner or Text Advertising in last 48 hours.
Press Release Comment Activity in last 48 hours.
IBO Dashboard Wall Comment Activity in last 24 hours.
Press Release Posted within last 48 hours.
Referral to IBO Toolbox in Last 5 days.
When you visit the IBO Toolbox Dashboard, your Stars are reset. The list above tells you which Stars will disappear when you return to the Dashboard. To activate any Stars you have earned, you need to visit the Dashboard. If the Star shows on the IBO Toolbox Ontrack but not on your Stars in the Dashboard Heading, in SITE NAVIGATION click DASHBOARD to refresh the page. (A normal refresh doesn't do the same thing.)
When you are away from the IBO Toolbox Dashboard, your Press Release Star lasts five days (sometimes more). Your Referral Star seems to be lasting up to seven days. While the Press Release and Referral Stars can expire while you are away from the Dashboard, the other four Stars remain active until you return to the Dashboard.
To quickly earn back your IBO Stars when you return to the IBO Toolbox Dashboard, have a Press Release prepared and post it immediately. Make sure your Advertising is Active. (It can take around 50 views for your Advertising Star to Activate.) Make or comment on a few Wall Posts. Make a few Business Owner Comments on Press Releases. Remember to return to the IBO Toolbox Dashboard to activate your Stars.
IBO Toolbox Credits are what drive our Advertising. You can purchase Credits at IBO Toolbox and you can take advantage of the Free Credits available at IBO Toolbox.
