Telegram is not just a messenger for communication. Serious money revolves here, as the platform already has over half a billion registered users. Some come to Telegram for news, others for jokes and good vibes, some for shopping, and the most advanced users consistently earn money on the messenger.

Specialists from the SMSBOWER virtual SMS number service have prepared an overview of the most effective ways to make money on Telegram. And if you think you need cool skills and a big budget for this – don’t worry, you can earn on Telegram without them.

Earning Through Advertising on Telegram

What to Do?

First, you need to create your own channel on a hot, popular topic – news, cryptocurrency, marketing, fashion, health, etc. To earn from advertising, you need to promote your Telegram channel and gather at least 1,000 subscribers (how to do this with minimal costs was covered in one of our previous articles).

What to Consider?

When choosing a channel topic, focus on the cost of advertising per 1,000 views in specific niches. In the beauty, fashion, and cosmetics sector, the price is about 500 RUB, while if the channel is dedicated to promo codes/discounts/sales, you can place ads for 800-1,000 RUB.

Where to Find Advertisers?

1. List your Telegram channel on one of the platforms: Telega.in, Tagio.pro, Epicstars, Telegrator, Teletarget. Advertisers will find you themselves for collaboration.
2. Contact corporate channel administrators directly and offer to place an ad post at an affordable competitive price. Asking doesn’t cost anything.

Selling Telegram Channels

What to Do?

Create a Telegram channel and sell it on a specialized auction. You can also buy a virtual number for Telegram (SMSBOWER is suitable for this) and create several channels for sale or focus on promoting them. Many people are willing to "buy a ready-made" promoted channel. They are in consistently high demand among marketers, SEO specialists, arbitrage experts, and info-businessmen.

What to Consider?

You can sell a Telegram channel if it already has a loyal audience. The price depends on the number of subscribers. Before buying, the channel’s statistics are checked, so bots are more likely to harm the deal than help.

Who to Sell To?

Buyers can be found on specialized platforms like Telegrammer. A small channel can be listed for 500 RUB, while a public channel with several thousand subscribers can be priced significantly higher.

Selling Products on Telegram

What to Do?

Create a store on Telegram – there are special services for this. Sales can be set up like on marketplaces – payment and delivery setup will take just a few seconds. All you need is product photos and short descriptions. Promote and advertise your store on Telegram using Telegram Ads and by purchasing ads on other Telegram channels.

What Can You Sell?

Anything you want – from physical goods (cosmetics, clothing, footwear, accessories, household appliances, electronics) to digital products: guides, courses, access to exclusive content.

Other Ways to Earn on Telegram Without Advanced Skills or Experience

• Become a content manager and admin for one or several channels.
• Create a private chat with a paid subscription (e.g., for trading signals).
• Share collections of useful channels or products from AliExpress.
• Perform micro-tasks: write comments, like posts, or subscribe to channels.
• Create creative stickers.
• Develop Telegram bots (if you have experience in this field).

If you want to register accounts en masse and actively promote your business on the messenger, you can buy a virtual number for Telegram and unlock additional opportunities in marketing and SMM.
