Make money on Telegram
Can you really make money on Telegram?

If you already have a Mini App or bot with active users, adding ad blocks through an ad network such as Adsun is usually the quickest start because you do not have to sell each sponsorship yourself. Read the guide
Do I need many subscribers to make money on Telegram?
No fixed minimum applies to every income source, but larger and more engaged audiences generally produce more impressions and therefore more ad revenue. Read the guide
Monetize a Telegram channel
How many subscribers do I need to monetize a Telegram channel?
There is no universal minimum. Advertisers care about engaged views and niche fit; a small, active niche channel can attract sponsors before a large inactive one. Read the guide
How much should I charge for a sponsored post?
Prices depend on views per post, niche, language and audience geography. Many channels price per post based on average views; compare offers and test rather than relying on a fixed rate. Read the guide
Can Adsun place ads in my Telegram channel?
Adsun Native Ads supports channel post campaigns. Contact Adsun support to discuss channel inventory and terms. Read the guide

How much can a Telegram bot earn?
It depends on active users, their countries, engagement and how often ads are shown. No fixed amount applies to every bot. Read the guide

Can I use several platforms at once?
Usually yes, unless a contract requires exclusivity. Check each network’s terms. Read the guide

Can I offer ‘remove ads’ with Telegram Stars?
Yes, a Stars purchase can unlock an ad-free mode; follow Telegram’s payment rules for digital goods. Read the guide
Ad options for global bot audiences
Can one ad network cover all my countries?
Sometimes, but fill and eCPM vary by country. Many bot owners add a second network for regions where the first has weak demand. Read the guide
How do I compare countries fairly?
Use revenue per 1,000 requests (eCPM × fill rate) per country over the same dates. Read the guide
Networks with multiple ad formats
Should I use one network for all formats?
One network simplifies integration and reporting; a second network can add demand for formats where the first has low fill. Read the guide
Which formats does Adsun support?
Adsun offers Reward, Interstitial and Task blocks for Mini Apps and bot placements; advertisers also run Native Ads in channels and bots. Read the guide
Ad network for mobile bot users
Do mobile users earn less than desktop users?

What is invalid traffic?
Impressions or clicks that do not come from real, interested users — bots, emulators, fraud or forced clicks. Read the guide

There is no universal good CPM; it depends on country, format and season. Compare your own CPM per country over time and across networks. Read the guide
Why did my CPM drop suddenly?
Common causes are seasonality, a change in country mix, more frequent ads per user or advertisers pausing budgets. Read the guide
CPM vs CPC for Telegram traffic
Is CPM or CPC better on Telegram?
Neither in general. Use the break-even CTR formula with your real CTR, then compare cost per conversion. Read the guide
Does Adsun support CPM and CPC?
Adsun campaigns support CPM or CPC bidding; current minimums and recommended bids are shown in the campaign form. Read the guide
Metrics for publisher revenue
Is eCPM the most important metric?
No. eCPM ignores unfilled requests and user impact. Use revenue per 1,000 requests and ARPDAU with retention. Read the guide
Where can I see these metrics in Adsun?

Estimate revenue for 100k MAU
How much can a Telegram bot with 100k users earn from ads?
It depends on active days, ads per user, fill rate and eCPM by country. Use the formula on this page with low, mid and high assumptions; no fixed amount is guaranteed. Read the guide
Should I use MAU or DAU?
DAU is more precise: Revenue per day = DAU × ads per user per day × fill × eCPM ÷ 1,000. MAU estimates need an assumption about active days. Read the guide
Fill rate vs CTR vs eCPM vs RPM
Is RPM the same as eCPM?
No. eCPM divides by impressions; RPM divides by sessions, page views or users, so it reflects how many ads each visit shows. Read the guide
Does a higher CTR mean more revenue?
On CPC demand, yes. On CPM demand, CTR affects revenue indirectly by making your inventory more valuable to advertisers. Read the guide
Evaluate traffic quality
What is a good click-to-session match rate?
Some loss is normal (closed tabs, slow loads). Compare placements against each other; outliers far below the rest deserve investigation. Read the guide
Can I get refunds for invalid traffic?
Policies differ by network. Ask before depositing and keep your own analytics as evidence. Read the guide
Transparent reporting checklist
Why do numbers differ between my analytics and the network?
Counting rules, time zones, IVT filtering and tracking loss differ. Transparent networks document these so you can reconcile. Read the guide
Should networks publish average CPMs?
Only with sample, period, countries and method stated; otherwise averages can mislead. Read the guide
Spot misleading CPM claims
Why is advertised CPM higher than what I earn?
Advertised figures are often gross, top-country or maximum values; your net eCPM depends on your traffic, fill and deductions. Read the guide
Does Adsun publish CPM benchmarks?
No. Adsun shows your own metrics per platform, block and country rather than marketing averages. Read the guide
Compare ad format profitability
Which Telegram ad format is the most profitable?
It depends on your app and audience. Run a user-level A/B test with a holdout and compare revenue per user × retained days. Read the guide
Can I combine formats?
Yes. Many apps use rewarded ads for opt-in moments and capped interstitials at natural breaks; test the combination against single formats. Read the guide

Yes. Adsun provides advertiser accounts for Network and Native Ads campaigns. Available formats, inventory, campaign terms and settings should be reviewed before launch. Read the guide
Do I need a publisher SDK to buy ads?
No publisher SDK installation is described in the advertiser launch flow. Publishers integrate placements; advertisers prepare campaigns and destinations. Destination tracking is a separate measurement task. Read the guide

No. Clicks measure ad interaction, not verified subscriptions, purchases or retained users. Confirm downstream outcomes using your own destination data. Read the guide
Promote a Mini App
How can I promote a Telegram Mini App?
Prepare a working Mini App destination, create an Adsun advertiser campaign, select an available format and audience, preview the creative and measure the destination’s useful actions alongside clicks and spend. Read the guide
Is Mini App advertising the same as Mini App monetization?
No. Advertising buys visits to a destination; monetization earns publisher revenue from showing ads. Their metrics and setup flows differ. Read the guide
Does a task opening prove a retained Mini App user?

Adsun Native Ads offers channel-post and bot-message campaign types. Eligible inventory and the settings shown in the selected campaign determine available delivery. Read the guide
Does a bot impression mean the message was read?
No. A bot impression is recorded when the ad is returned for immediate sending; it is not confirmation that a user read it. Read the guide

No. Ad clicks do not prove joins, retention or active readership. Confirm those outcomes through your own channel or bot measurement. Read the guide
Advertising cost & budget
How much does Telegram advertising cost with Adsun?
Check the budget, bid and pricing options shown for your selected Adsun campaign. This guide does not publish a universal rate, minimum deposit or guaranteed cost per result. Read the guide
Is reported CPC the same as cost per customer?
No. CPC is spend divided by clicks. Cost per customer requires a separately verified and attributable customer count. Read the guide
Does a low CPM guarantee a successful campaign?
No. CPM measures impression cost, not sales, audience quality or retention. Assess destination outcomes alongside delivery metrics. Read the guide
Targeting & optimization
Can I target Telegram ads by country and language?
Adsun campaign forms provide country and language settings for supported campaign types. Review the options and eligible inventory for the selected format before launch. Read the guide
Do Network and Native Ads have the same targeting?
No. Network and Native Ads use different campaign settings. Device and placement controls should not be assumed to be identical across formats. Read the guide
Will broader targeting always improve performance?
No. Broader settings may change eligibility but do not guarantee useful users or lower acquisition cost. Evaluate audience fit and destination outcomes. Read the guide
