How I Earned $14,394 on My Telegram Channel. And you can too

Jun '22 ➡️ Dec '23
0 ➡️ 11,601 subscribers
0 ➡️ $14,394

Without financial investments, working 1 hour a day.

  1. From Zero:

✍️I wrote useful posts on topics that I like.
🗣️I shared these posts on various platforms with a link to my Telegram channel.

What I Learned:

🚀 Don't be afraid to share your experiences
🚀 Share interesting cases
🚀 Try to help other people; don't talk about yourself too much
🗣️ Talk about your Telegram channel on other platforms

  1. To Hero:

📢Advertisers started contacting me when I reached 1,000 subscribers. Also, I listed my channel on Telegram advertising exchanges.
🤑I didn't set a low price for advertising and valued my audience. Better to publish less advertising but at a higher price. Don't look at the price set by other channels. I publish ads 1-3 times a week.

$14,394/12 Months = $1,200 per Month (Amount after Tax Payment).

It is a good additional source of income. But it's possible to earn more. There are channels on Telegram earning $10,000 a month, $20,000 a month, and even more (example: Varlamov News).

Bonus: You can advertise your own product.

About Telegram:

📈Telegram ranks as the 4th most popular messaging app globally. As of 2023, it boasts an estimated 1.068 billion total users, with 700 million active monthly users.

🗣️A Telegram channel is good for self-promotion, startup promotion, and as an additional source of income.

    Great insights!! Could you share the platforms you used to promote your Telegram Channel? Did you already have an audience in those channels?

  2. 2

    Very inspirational - thanks for sharing

  3. 2

    Fantastic job, Marie! It's an inspiration to budding entrepreneurs. Wishing you continued success on future projects!

    Thanks for sharing, my ask if you allow anyone to post to the channel, or is it just you?

    1. 1

      Just me.
      But if you want, you can give another person access for publication.

  5. 1

    That's a new idea I just got.

    • How does Telegram channel work?
    • Do you allow other users to message in your channel?
    • Can you share your channel here?

      You can watch my video to get answers on other questions I made the video https://youtu.be/oTkGgy0w10w?si=5v8HOAoJVYJZ8ZlP.

    Do you get to earn money based on how many views you get for each post and the number of subscribers you have for the channel?

    1. 1

      Hi! I made the video https://youtu.be/oTkGgy0w10w?si=5v8HOAoJVYJZ8ZlP.
      In this video I answered on this question.

  7. 1

    Where did you promote your telegram channel? What web sites?

  8. 1

    I couldn't submit anything to aimarketplace pro (from Safari and Chrome on Mac). The submit link/button doesn't do anything.

    1. 1

      Right, I'm working on it and plan to finish next week. Could you send me your product on X? https://twitter.com/Mariintheworld

      1. 1

        Ah well I can't DM you on Twitter so please see the related twitter account including web address @AnonAmaze - https://au.anonamaze.co/ Thanks.

    Thanks for sharing those, Marie.

    May I learn which platforms you use for telegram advertising?
    And are there any sites where we can see all telegram groups?

  10. 1

    That's an incredible journey! Share your telegram link there as well

    1. 1

      Please write me on X https://twitter.com/Mariintheworld and I will send you a link

  11. 1

    what is the telegram channel about? how you got the initial users on your telegram channel?

    1. 1

      About data analytics because I'm a former data analyst.
      how I got the initial users on your telegram channel?

      ✍️I wrote useful posts on topics that I like.
      🗣️I shared these posts on various platforms with a link to my Telegram channel.

      The more users you have the more willing other people are to subscribe.
      At the start it's a slow process. But after 1000 subscribers it's much easier. Patience and regular work are important.

      1. 1

        Great! Thanks! Keep up

  12. 1

    what are your best free resources/guides when it comes to starting up a telegram channel?

    1. 1

      I don't have such. I dug through tons of information.
      I only can recommend read resources in Russian language (you can use Google Translate extension for automatic page translation). There are a lot of information telegram channel promotion. Maybe I will share for free some additional information in my X (Twitter) account. But the main points of promotion are:

    That's great Marie! Feel excited to hear about your story.

    Just a question: why Telegram (and not Whatsapp)?

    Another question: On which site did you sell your fruit store?

    1. 2

      Hi! Thanks!

      The answer is simple. Because I use Telegram and don't use Whatsapp. And as far as I know Whatsapp channels were released recently.

      I sold it with a business broker. It wasn't easy and took a lot of time and meetings. I don't recommend this way especially if your business is completely online. Unfortunately in country where I live before only this way was available.

      I heard about acquire.com. I will use this site and other for selling my current projects.

      1. 1

        Thanks for the useful info.

        I'm surprised and glad about achievement on Telegram. I wasn't on Telegram so wasn't aware that with 1k subscribers you can really earn that much from ads.
        If you don't mind can you share (publicly/privately) your Telegram page?

        Congrats again!

        1. 1

          Of course, give me your page in social media (Twitter is better). I'll send it.
          My page on X (Twitter) is @Mariintheworld
