Monetize your Telegram group
MGRAM turns an active Telegram group into an ad placement and pays you 70% of every ad. Two formats work in a group: Reply Ads, seen only by the member who just wrote, and force subscribe, which asks members to join sponsor channels or start sponsor bots before they write. You earn $1.12 per 1,000 impressions and from $0.0103 per confirmed subscription and withdraw to CryptoBot or in USDT. Groups, supergroups, forums and a channel's discussion group can be connected, and the orders come from advertisers already on the platform.

Does Telegram pay group owners?
No. Telegram shares ad revenue with channels and bots only: “Telegram channel and bot owners can now receive 50% of the revenue from ads displayed in their channels and bots” (core.telegram.org/api/revenue, checked on 13 November 2026). Groups are not mentioned there, and Telegram's own sponsored messages are shown in channels, bots, full-screen videos and global search — not in groups (core.telegram.org/api/sponsored-messages).
So a group earns only from what its owner sets up. Paid access and sponsor deals are arranged by hand; an in-chat ad network brings the advertisers to you. MGRAM is such a network: its bot, as an administrator of your group, shows the ads, counts every impression and join, and credits your share to your balance.
Ways to make money from a Telegram group
A group can combine several of them:
| Way | How it works | What it takes |
|---|---|---|
| Paid access | Members pay to enter a private group or a premium part of it | Content worth paying for; you collect payments and manage access |
| Sponsored posts | An advertiser pays the admin to post or pin a message for everyone | Finding advertisers, agreeing on a price, posting by hand |
| Affiliate links | You recommend products and earn a commission on sales | A topic that fits a product; earnings follow sales |
| A companion bot | A bot for your members — FAQ, giveaways, content — monetized on its own | A bot connected to MGRAM: monetize a Telegram bot |
| Reply Ads (MGRAM) | An ad after a member's message, seen only by that member | Connect the group once; advertisers come through MGRAM |
| Force subscribe (MGRAM) | A member joins sponsor channels or starts sponsor bots before writing | The same connection; you choose who sees it and how often |
What MGRAM runs in your group
| Format | What members see | When | You get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reply Ads | A short ad — text, a photo or GIF, buttons — shown only to the member who wrote and deleted after 5 minutes | After a member's message | $1.12 per 1,000 impressions |
| Force subscribe | Their message is removed and a window only they see lists channels to join or bots to start; after “I joined” they write freely | Before a member writes — for all members or new members only | from $0.0103 per confirmed join, from $0.00937 per bot start |
Broadcasts are a bot format and do not run in groups. When both formats are on, force subscribe comes first and Reply Ads wait until the member has passed it. Both are off after approval: you switch each on in the group's settings.
How much can a Telegram group earn?
We don't promise a monthly figure: income depends on how many members write, on how many orders match your group at the moment and on your settings. The rates below are what you get per unit, with the arithmetic at the base price:
| 10,000 Reply Ads impressions | $11.25 | 70% of $1.61 per 1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| 100 confirmed subscriptions | $1.03 | through force subscribe; advertisers who pay above the base price raise it |
| 100 bot starts | $0.94 | through force subscribe; never charged back |
Most campaigns on MGRAM today come from Russian-speaking advertisers, and most ads are in Russian. Campaigns without a GEO filter reach English-speaking users too, while English-language demand is only starting. You decide what runs: block casino, 18+ or whole topics, or approve every order by hand. A subscription is charged back if the member leaves within 24 hours. Impressions and joins from farms are not paid. Withdraw to CryptoBot or USDT (TON network) from $6.09, fee 5%.
Requirements to connect a group
- You are the creator or an administrator of the group. One group can be connected to one MGRAM account only.
- @mgram is an administrator with the “Delete messages” right. The connect button ticks it for you. Without it neither format works: if the right is removed, the group pauses and resumes by itself once it is back.
- At least 200 members. A smaller group cannot be sent for review; the bot shows the current count and sends the group automatically once it gets there.
- A group or supergroup (forums included), or your channel's comments group. A channel itself can't be connected.
- Real conversation. Groups that are mostly ads — ad boards, mutual-promotion and “services” chats — are approved without Reply Ads; force subscribe stays available in them.
- Review. The status updates by itself, and MGRAM notifies you of the result. Step by step: how to connect a chat.
How to connect a group
Open @mgram
“My bots & chats” → “Connect a bot or chat” → “Chat”.
Add the bot to your group
Tap “Add to chat”, choose the group and confirm @mgram as an administrator — the “Delete messages” right is already ticked.
Choose a topic
The group's topic helps advertisers' orders find it: pick the one that matches what members discuss.
Pass the review
You get a message when the group is approved; until then the group works as before.
Switch formats on
Open the group → “Settings” and turn on Reply Ads and/or force subscribe. Start with force subscribe for new members only — regulars will not notice a change.
Monetize your channel's comments
A Telegram channel cannot be connected to MGRAM itself, but its discussion group — the chat where the comments live — is a supergroup and connects like any other group. Reply Ads and force subscribe then work for the people who write there.
For a comments group, start gently: Reply Ads only, or force subscribe for “New members only”. With “All members”, comments of members who have not completed the tasks are removed until they do.

Settings you control
- Reply Ads: ban topics, approve orders by hand, allow or block your own orders. Casino and 18+ ads are allowed by default for Reply Ads — turn them off in the group's settings.
- Force subscribe — who: “All members” or “New members only”, that is, those who joined after the group was connected to MGRAM.
- Force subscribe — how much: 1 to 10 tasks in one window (3 by default) and a repeat every 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days (24 hours by default). Casino and 18+ tasks are off by default.
- White list: members who never see force subscribe. Administrators never see it anyway.
- Own resources: put up to 10 of your own channels, groups or bots into force subscribe for free — a simple way to grow your channel from your own group.
- Pause the group at any moment. Statistics — members, active in 7 days, messages today, earnings — are in the group's card.
Keep the group healthy
- Tell members in the pinned message that the group is monetized and why — ads keep it running.
- Turn formats on one at a time and watch activity for a week before you change the next setting.
- If people start leaving or writing less, lower the number of tasks or make the repeat less frequent.
- Add moderators and trusted regulars to the white list.
Frequently asked questions
Can we earn money from a Telegram group?
Yes, with MGRAM: add @mgram to the group as an administrator with the “Delete messages” right and choose its topic; once the group has at least 200 members, it goes to review automatically. After approval Reply Ads and force subscribe run in it, and you get 70% of every placement — $1.12 per 1,000 Reply Ads impressions, from $0.0103 per confirmed subscription and from $0.00937 per bot start. How much a group earns depends on how many members write and how many orders match it.
Does Telegram pay group owners?
No. Telegram's 50% ad revenue share is for channel and bot owners (core.telegram.org/api/revenue); a group earns through what its owner sets up, such as an in-chat ad network.
How many members does my group need?
At least 200 to go to review. The bot shows the current count when you connect and sends the group for review automatically once it reaches the threshold.
Will the whole group see the ads?
No. A Reply Ad is seen only by the member who wrote and is deleted after 5 minutes; the force subscribe window is also visible only to that member.
Can I monetize my channel's comments?
Yes: connect the channel's discussion group as a group. The channel itself cannot be connected.
Can I use a website ad network in a Telegram group?
Website ad code cannot run inside a Telegram chat. Ads in a group are shown by a bot that is an administrator of the group — which is how MGRAM works.
Do administrators see force subscribe?
No. Administrators never see it, and you can exempt other members with the white list.
Are casino and 18+ ads shown in my group?
For Reply Ads they are allowed by default and can be turned off in the group's settings; for force subscribe they are off by default.
How do I withdraw?
To CryptoBot or USDT in the TON network from $6.09, fee 5%. Withdrawal to a bank card is not available.
Ready to start?
Connect in Telegram: open @mgram, choose English, and the bot walks you through each step — or do the same in the MGRAM web panel at app.mgram.biz.
