A channel's comments group
How to earn from a Telegram channel with MGRAM: connect its comments group as a chat, turn on Reply Ads and force subscribe, and what can't be connected.
With MGRAM, a Telegram channel earns through its discussion group — the chat where comments to posts go. It connects as a regular Telegram group: Reply Ads and force subscribe work in it, and the owner receives 70% of every placement — $1.12 per 1,000 Reply Ads impressions at the base price and from $0.0103 per subscription. The channel itself can't be connected. Two more tools sit next to a channel: the channel's bot, which earns too, and “Own resources” — you can put your channel into the force subscribe of your bot or group for free.
What can and can't be connected
| What | Can be connected | What works |
|---|---|---|
| A Telegram channel | No | — |
| The channel's discussion (comments) group | Yes, as a regular group | Reply Ads and force subscribe |
| The channel's bot: feedback, giveaways, content | Yes, with a token from @BotFather | Broadcasts, Reply Ads, and force subscribe |
MGRAM doesn't publish posts in the channel and doesn't show ads to readers who never write.
How to connect the comments group
- Make sure the channel has a discussion group: the channel settings → “Discussion”. Comments to posts land in that group (Telegram blog).
- Connect it as a regular chat: @mgram → “My bots & chats” → “Connect a bot or chat” → “Chat” → “Add to chat”, and pick the discussion group, not the channel. Step by step — How to connect a chat.
- The 200-member threshold counts members of the discussion group itself, not the channel's subscribers.
- After review, turn on Reply Ads and/or force subscribe in the chat settings.
Who will see the ads
- Reply Ads and force subscribe are triggered when a person writes in the discussion group — for example, leaves a comment under their own name.
- Channel posts Telegram forwards to the group, comments sent on behalf of the channel, and messages of anonymous administrators don't trigger ads.
- Subscribers who only read the channel and never write don't see ads. So earnings depend on how many people comment, not on the number of subscribers.
Which settings to choose
- Reply Ads are the easiest start: only the author of the comment sees the ad, and it is deleted after 5 minutes.
- Force subscribe holds back a member's messages until they complete the tasks: an unsubscribed person's comment is deleted, and they can post it again after subscribing.
- The force subscribe window and the ad post arrive in the discussion group itself as a message only that person sees. They may not be visible in the comment thread under a post: someone who only comments from under the channel's posts can miss the force subscribe window and think their comment simply vanished. So before turning force subscribe on, check from another account what a member sees. If comments matter more to you, choose “Who: New members only” for force subscribe or keep Reply Ads only.
- Casino and 18+ are allowed by default in Reply Ads — if they don't suit the channel's audience, turn them off. Details — Reply Ads and force subscribe in a group.

FAQ
Can MGRAM ads appear in the channel's posts?
No. MGRAM doesn't publish posts in the channel or put ads into them. For a channel, MGRAM ads run only in its discussion group and in the channel's bot.
How many subscribers does the channel need?
What matters for MGRAM is the discussion group, not the channel: it needs at least 200 members. The channel's subscriber count doesn't affect connecting.
Does Telegram itself pay channel owners?
Telegram shares 50% of the revenue from its official ads with channel and bot owners (per core.telegram.org/api/revenue as of November 13, 2026). It's a separate Telegram program with its own terms and has nothing to do with MGRAM earnings.
