Quick answer

You monetize Telegram bot traffic by sending sponsored messages to active users, adding rewarded ads where users earn something, and placing relevant affiliate offers. Adsun provides server-side bot integration: your bot requests an ad, Adsun returns a reviewed creative from advertisers (including licensed gambling and crypto brands where allowed) and you earn USDT per impression and click.

Key takeaways

  • Sponsored messages are the core bot format.
  • Send ads only to recently active users.
  • Server-side integration keeps tokens safe.
  • Payouts in USDT.

Bot monetization formats

  • Sponsored messages after user actions.
  • Rewarded ads for bonuses or credits.
  • Task ads (join channel, open app).
  • Affiliate offers in menus.

Frequency rules

  • Only message users active recently.
  • Max one sponsored message per session to start.
  • Never spam inactive users.
  • Watch block rate.

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.
