Telegram Channel Vs. Group; Which One Is Better for Business?

Telegram channels and groups are tools for sharing messages and media with a large group of people. You can share your thoughts, songs, videos, links, and other messages with each member of your channel or group in the blink of an eye. One of the merits of using Telegram tools for reaching people is that this application sends notifications to their screens, where they are constantly looking at.

Now let’s see what is the difference between Telegram channels and groups.

First, the number of subscribers to channels is limitless; while only 200,000 members can be added to the groups.

Second, in Telegram channels only admins are allowed to post; but in groups, everybody can write a message or send a file.

Third, in channels, the name and picture of the channel are displayed next to the messages; but in groups, the name and profile picture of the one who has sent a message is shown.

With this in mind, Telegram channels are better options for people who wish to start an online business or expand their current market.

What Is a Paid Telegram Channel?

The paid Telegram channel allows business owners to share their values in exchange for money. In other words, it lets the members use the channel’s content only when they pay for it (once or periodically). Using such channels helps you share large texts, audio, videos, and voices in the shortest time possible. There are various ways of earning money through a paid Telegram channel, all of which will be discussed in the next parts. But first, learn how to make a VIP Telegram channel for your own.

How to Create a Paid Telegram Channel or Group?

To start a new channel, open the Telegram app and click on the pencil icon in the bottom right corner. The option for the New Channel is at the top of the page. In the next step, you should set a name and picture for your channel and add members to it.
after creating the channel, you will receive a personal link from Telegram that you can use to invite members to the channel. If you make your channel public, anyone can look it up. If it is private, only those who have been invited can join.

Note: Only the admins can edit the channel’s name, add a photo or video, alter the channel type, add their name to the messages they publish, create a new invite link, delete the channel, and remove a user by clicking the Remove Users button.

Make Money with a Paid Telegram Channel

Sell advertisement

One way to generate revenue from Telegram channels is by publishing ads and posts in exchange for money. You can easily sell promotional posts if you have a significant number of subscribers. Although selling ads is convenient and profitable, you should have its basic requirements, such as:

•  Your channel should be attractive to both the users and advertisers
• The content of your channel should be unique and relevant to the content of the advertisement
• Your content must add value to the users or be enjoyable to them, so you will have more users -AKA audience- to present the ads to
• The channel should have a clean, eye-catching design. Use attractive colors and shapes that are also relevant to your content
• Work on your UX. Having a high-fidelity user experience increases the size of your audience and accordingly, boosts the number of advertisers reaching you
• Avoid using hard and complex structures, especially if your content is in English and your target audience is large. English is not the native language of most Telegram users; therefore, if you want to attract advertisers and subscribers, use simple words and structures that they understand
• Don’t underestimate the power of media and image. Use audio-visual features to make your channel more appealing
• Stay updated. Keep your content updated to gain the attention of more audiences

Sell your products

You can always use Telegram to sell your goods and services to your customers. In fact, the main purpose of a paid Telegram channel is to offer products to an intended audience.

Interaction in Telegram is basically similar to that of other social media networks (like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok); however, user engagement in Telegram is significantly higher. In other words, interaction is less than 10% on other social media platforms, while the ‘view rate’ in Telegram channels can be as high as 30%. Since Telegram is a platform that prioritizes text and visual content, you must consider your users’ demands and provide them with high-quality content if you want to succeed in your online business.

Receive subscription fee

You can receive a subscription fee when people join your paid Telegram channel. If you have exclusive or worthwhile content, people will pay this subscription fee willingly. Wondering how you can receive subscription fees from your users? keep reading.

Imagine you have a public channel where you publish posts and media for a large group of people, with varying ethnicities, education levels, ages, and genders. Then, you have a private channel dedicated to the users who are eager to access your exclusive content. Members who consistently pay their weekly/monthly/yearly payments are given access to the VIP channel via a private link. By doing this, you can charge customers on a recurring basis and generate income. Channels associated with sports betting (for cricket, soccer, etc.), trading channels with signals (for Forex, cryptocurrency), and educational resources (providing materials for exams like IELTS and TOEFL) are common examples of paid Telegram channels that make money through receiving subscription fees.

Sell your channel

That is correct! You can sell your Telegram channel to someone else if it has a significant number of subscribers. By transferring your ownership to your prospective client, you can charge a fair fee and earn money. After that, you can start a new channel, develop it, and sell it once more. The price of the channel can increase as you gain more members with high interaction rates.

Manage Your Telegram Channel by a Bot

Managing large channels and groups may take a lot of your time. There are some bots like Telegram subscription bot that help you manage the paid Telegram channels.
