Quick answer

You make money from Telegram traffic by monetizing every user of your channel, bot or Mini App: show ads (sponsored posts, bot messages, rewarded, interstitial and task ads), add affiliate offers and sell paid content. Adsun pays publishers in USDT for ad impressions and clicks from reviewed advertisers — including licensed gambling and crypto brands that pay well for relevant audiences.

Key takeaways

  • Ads monetize every user, not just buyers.
  • Mini Apps earn from rewarded and interstitial ads.
  • Bots earn from sponsored messages.
  • Channels earn from native posts.

Monetization by asset type

  • Channel: native sponsored posts.
  • Bot: sponsored messages to active users.

  • Group: pinned sponsored messages and partner offers.

What drives earnings

  • Country mix (tier-1 vs emerging).
  • Engagement and retention.

Worked example

Hypothetical example — not real Adsun data

An advertiser spends $200 on an Adsun CPC campaign at $0.04 per click = 5,000 clicks; 35% reach the landing page or Mini App = 1,750 visitors; 4% register = 70 sign-ups, cost per sign-up ≈ $2.86. A publisher with 10,000 daily Mini App users showing 2 rewarded ads each = 20,000 impressions; at a $1.00 eCPM that is about $20 a day. Replace every figure with your own data.

Adsun measurement methodology

Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
