Where there are people, there is traffic. Therefore, promoting Telegram channels is becoming an increasingly popular phenomenon. However, the financial resources are not always available, especially at the start.
In this article, we, together with Daniel Levyi, the head of the Social Vision project, will explore 9 ways to promote your Telegram channel for free, which will help you attract the first subscribers, increase your audience, and level up your account.
Attracting new subscribers is the primary step in promoting a Telegram channel. The more people know about your channel, the more chances you have of getting potential clients interested in your services.
Paid tools, such as official Telegram advertising and placements in other channels, take the lead. However, unlike other platforms, Telegram still has many free ways to promote your channel, and they do bring results. Let's consider the most effective tools.
Telegram does not have SEO optimization in the traditional sense. Of course, you can use keywords in your channel description that reflect the topic of your channel, and thereby increase its visibility. However, the effectiveness of this method is ambiguous. There is a more effective strategy - the use of a network of chats (door-to-door channels).
If you see an increase, your mission has been successfully accomplished.
If not, then it's worth analyzing each step and finding the mistakes made. One possible option is that the keyword is too popular, and you get lost against the background of competitors.
This method of promotion is often used by Telegram channels in the movie niche. If you enter the name of a recently released movie in the search bar, you will surely come across a couple of door-to-door channels.
You can promote your Telegram channel through other platforms. If communicating on the internet is a pleasure for you, you can easily gain your first subscribers or increase your existing audience through discussions on forums. During the conversation, you can natively place links to the interesting materials of your channel.
Telegram offered its users a new feature: sharing folders with channels. You can team up with other administrators and pool a common marketing budget, within which an advertising integration is launched in other Telegram channels.
In Telegram, affiliate marketing can be used to reach a new audience and stimulate sales. Find accounts similar in theme to yours and agree on a joint free PR campaign. In other words, you make mutual advertising. You place the partner's offer on your channel, and a promotional post about you appears on the other one. As a result, there is an exchange of audiences.
Inviting is the mass addition of people to your Telegram chats. With this method, you can significantly increase the sales of your products/services/information products.
For invites, many additional accounts are created. Through them, invitations are sent to participants of similar thematic groups. Each account has its own level of trust for Telegram algorithms, depending on the registration date and user activity. You can invite up to 200 people per channel link. There is no limit on groups, but it is not recommended to add more than 200 people per day - this can provoke blocking. It is best to work on quality, not quantity. 1,000 live subscribers are better than 10,000 dead souls.
Mass commenting is the mass distribution of comments under the posts of the target audience to attract attention to your Telegram channel. Find large channels where discussions are taking place in the posts, get involved in the discussions on behalf of your Telegram channel, and collect engaged users for free.
Networking is power. Ask your subscribers, clients, or friends if there are people in their circle who are interested in what you write about, and ask for their contacts. Then contact them and personally invite them to your channel. You'll see the result surpass all expectations, as you're already working with a warm audience.
Website Mentions Tell everyone about the channel on all your platforms: your official website, in the app, communities and groups on social media, email newsletters.
The social network of blood donors "DonorSearch" was the first to use this tool. The company developed its own stickers to popularize blood donation. Then many well-known brands picked up the successful idea. Promotion through stickers is still relevant.
The easiest way to promote a channel is to create your own stickers. They don't have to be detailed and highly artistic - make them pleasant and understandable to your audience. You can use a special bot for this. It is important to indicate your nickname or link to your channel in the name of the sticker collection. Then, if your creation is scattered across Telegram, users will be able to go to the original source.
Conclusion:
It is important to remember that the best way to attract new subscribers is to constantly update high-quality content and interact with the audience. Based on the methods listed above, you can effectively promote your Telegram channel and attract new subscribers without additional costs.
