Being one of the most popular instant messaging apps, it is loved by its over 200 million users because of the fact that its users can exchange information without having to fear about it getting to any third parties.
According to the information, default messages and media in Telegram are encrypted when stored on its servers, but can be accessed by the Telegram service provider, who holds the encryption keys. In addition Telegram provides optional end-to-end encrypted "secret" chats between two online users, yet not for groups or channels.
Another reason Telegram many individuals love telegram unlike Facebook, Instagram and other social networks, Telegram doesn't make money from ads. This further gives their users the assurance that their data isn't being used by any third-party. Don't worry about how they monetise their app, we've already given a detailed information on that here.
How Can You Make Money From Your Telegram Channel?
One good fact about the Telegram Channels over its competitors is that users can have an unlimited amount of subscribers, and only admins have the right to post.
Before we proceed to the various ways of monetising your Telegram Channel, why don't we look at some tips on how you can get subscribers?
How To Grow Your Telegram Channel
• Why should I subscribe to your channel?
What value are you providing? Why should someone want to receive updates from you on a regular basis? This should perhaps be your first consideration before even creating the channel.I have a friend who has gotten thousand of subscribers on his Telegram Channel without really spending money on ads. His only traffic source is search engine, and his blog users. The guy blogs on data cheats and you know how we Africans love free stuff?
You can offer your subscribers discounts, share news updates, football predictions, some online money making tips or any other information they might be interested in.
• Make your channel unique
You're not the only person in your niche, so try to stand out from the rest. For example, if you notice that your competitors only retain their users via emails, you can decide to keep in touch with your via your telegram channel.And before going for Telegram (or any other option), ensure that there won't be any other better and faster way of performing the tasks.
• Consistency
Being able to deliver contents consistently will also help in retaining your users. You can spy on your competitors to know know what their audience really like, then offer similar or things to yours.Posting a tip a day won't be a bad idea, all that matters is that they're engaging and of a high quality. While posting, always remind your users that their friends would benefit from the contents too if they share it.
• Promote! Promote!! Promote!!!
The only way to gain new subscriber is by making them know about your channel. Always endeavour to make use of all available traffic sources to grow your channel. Your blog, social media pages and even paid adverts.Forums like Nairaland and Reddit are also good sources of traffic, depending on your target audience and location. For example, you can's go searching for Nigerian users in Reddit, or go to quora for users to promote your data cheat. Study to forum to know what they'd really be interested in before setting up a campaign.
How To Monetise Your Telegram Channel

• Use Link Shortening Services
With this, all you need to do is shorten links, share to people in your group and when people click on them, you earn money.The Telegram TV can be about a particular niche, ie free data cheats. When a new cheat comes up, you share it to them and shorten the link with the link shortening service.
A 5 seconds advert will be displayed inbetween the landing page and the link, and you can make as much as $.5 per click depending on the service.
• Sponsored Links
I make more than $500 monthly from sponsored posts on my website, and I have written about that HERE. You can also make very good money from bloggers and advertisers who will be willing to reach out to your audience.All you need to do it tell the members of the group that you are open to sponsored posts and advertisements, and be willing to work with their budget especially as a beginner.
Depending on your audience and the niche involved, you can make anything more than $20 for each 100,000 people in your group, and if you have a group of up to 400,000 members, that will be a really good amount of money.
No matter what, just don't flood your users with advertisements or they might leave.
• Information Marketing And Selling Of Digital Products
If your telegram channel is very engaging, you can sell a lot of stuff to your users in terms of information products. These include software, podcasts, photos, ebooks, videos and more.Anything you package well can be sold, and sometimes people will buy not because they need them but they love you.
• Selling of your products and services
I have seen lots of people selling things in groups they are not their admins and owners, and you can sell your own products and services also.Do you create websites or PayPal accounts? Are you a tailor, or you sell handbags, phones or anything? You can get customers from your telegram channel.
The most interesting part is that you would have built trust with time, and the members of your channel will trust you a lot to send their money.
