How to sell ads in your Telegram channel and start earning

Trigram is a Telegram ad marketplace where advertisers find your channel in a public catalog, pay for the post up front and the bot publishes it at the agreed hour. All you do is accept the request. Works for big channels and small ones alike — there is no minimum subscriber count.

How to start selling ads in your channel: 4 steps

1. Open the Trigram bot and pick your channel from the list. Make the bot an administrator with the right to post — that is how it publishes paid posts for you.
2. Set the channel language and confirm the topics the AI suggested from your posts — advertisers find you in the catalog by them.
3. Set a price for every format you want to sell: post 1/24 (an hour on top, a day in the feed), post 2/48, pinned post. Set a daily limit of ad posts and, optionally, a discount for posts with the “Ad” badge.
4. The channel appears in the public catalog and gets its own page on the site, indexed by search engines. Requests arrive in the bot and in the app.

How much you can earn from ads in a Telegram channel

You set the price, and it is the final price for the advertiser: the 10% platform commission is already inside (1% service fee and 9% referral pool), nothing is added on top. If the request came through your referrals, part of those 9% comes back to you.

For a benchmark, other channels’ prices in your topic are visible in the catalog: open the topic and compare format prices of channels with a similar audience.

The more placements you deliver, the higher your channel’s reputation in the catalog — it is computed from real paid deals only: on-time publishing, no disputes, no refunds.

How an ad sale goes

1. The advertiser composes the post in the editor, picks a date and an hour and pays in USDT. The platform holds the money — you know the request is paid.
2. You see the post exactly as it will appear in the channel and accept or decline before the deadline. You can propose another time. An unwanted advertiser can be blocked.
3. At the agreed hour the bot publishes the post (and pins it for the pinned format), watches it for the whole paid period and unpins it itself.
4. After delivery your share is credited to your Trigram balance. If the post is deleted or pushed off the top early, the advertiser may open a dispute — so keep the post in place for the whole period.

Getting paid

Withdraw to your own TON wallet in USDT: from 5 USDT per withdrawal, a network fee of 0.1 USDT is taken from the amount (plus 0.2 USDT once if the address has never received USDT). With a confirmed address the payout goes out automatically once your balance reaches 10 USDT.

The balance also works for you as an advertiser — buy ads in other channels without withdrawing and topping up again.

What else Trigram gives a channel owner

• Free cross-promotion with channels of a similar size — a post exchange the bot publishes and verifies itself.
• A public channel page on trigram.site with subscribers, topics and prices — found from search, not only from the catalog.
• A 5-level referral program: invite channel owners and advertisers and earn a share of the commission on their deals.
• Support in Telegram and in the app, with automatic translation — write in your own language.

FAQ

Can I sell ads in a small channel?

Yes. There is no minimum subscriber count: a channel is listed as soon as the bot is an administrator and at least one price is set. Advertisers filter channels by price and subscribers, so small channels with a clear topic and a low price find their buyers.

How much does listing in the catalog cost?

Nothing. There is no listing fee or subscription — the platform earns 10% inside the price, only on delivered deals.

How does the advertiser pay and when do I get the money?

The advertiser pays in USDT (TON network) before publication; the platform holds the money until the post has stayed up for the paid period, then your share is credited to your balance and paid to your TON wallet.

Can I refuse an ad I do not like?

Yes. You see the exact post before publication and decline the request with one tap — the money returns to the advertiser. You can block the advertiser so they can no longer book your channel.

Do I have to publish anything manually?

No. The bot publishes the post at the agreed hour, pins and unpins it, then watches it for the whole period. You only accept the request.

What if the bot cannot pin messages in my channel?

Sell the formats without pinning (post 1/24 and 2/48). The pinned-post price becomes available as soon as the bot has the right to pin.
