One thing i have noticed is that the advertising charges vary a lot. Some channels charge a high fee while others provide promotions at a lower cost.

This made me confused whether lower-priced telegram ads can still produce good results or if they are just a waste of money.

i would like to hear suggestion from others:
  • Have you ever had good results from cheap Telegram ads?
  • Would you test many smaller channels in place of one expensive channel?

I had better result from a few smaller channels than from one expensive placement. The audience was more engaged because it matched the niche better. I think it is worth testing several affordable options first and comparing the quality of the traffic before committing a larger budget.
 
in my experience, cheap ads rarely provide good results, they usually just increase impressions, engagements and views but don't bring any quality leads.
 
I got 5k subscribers to the channel for just 1409 ads spend approx. But these people are rarely online
 
Yes, I have seen cheaper telegram ads work well, but it really depends on the audience, not just the price. In my opinion, I would rather test a few smaller, relevant channels first. They often bring better quality traffic than spending the entire budget on one expensive placement.
 
I would personally invest most of my funds into ranking on telegram compared to buying ads. if search ads work, organic might also work for your niche. It works really well for mine.

You should have to wait for a few months to see ranking.
 
Cheap isn't the problem; unmatched or fake is. A low fee channel can beat an expensive one, but only when its audience is real and actually fits your offer. The trap with cheap placements is bought subscribers and dead engagement, so you pay little and get nothing.

Before you buy, check the channel's real activity, not its subscriber count: recent post views and reactions relative to the follower number, and whether the topic genuinely matches what you're promoting. A small niche channel with live, on topic readers usually converts better than a big general one.

So yes, test several smaller channels rather than betting one expensive slot, but judge them all on cost per join or per sale, not on the sticker price. A cheap channel that brings zero real people is the most expensive one you can buy.

I would say personally say it is better to test a few smaller channels first , track the response and then scale the ones that actually bring clicks or conversions instead of putting everything in to one high priced channel.
 
Cheap/costly does't matter, the most important thing is what is maximum you can spend for 1000 views, check how many of them are converting, if it allows you then don't stop, then continue.
start with small amount and check is it worth it to run or not?

first try with smaller channel, if not works then bid on bigger channel, but don't forget to keep track on your CPM and CTR,

I saw avarage CTR of 4 to 6%
 
cheap vs expensive is honestly the wrong way to look at it. the only number that matters is what you pay per actual join or sale, not the CPM.

i've had a small channel around 8k subs outperform one with 60k because the little one had real people who actually read the posts. thing is you gotta check the post views before buying... if a channel has 40k subs but posts only get 800 views something is off. bought subs, dead audience, whatever.

so yeah test a few small ones first but track cost per join not price. also depends on your niche, some niches just dont have good small channels so you end up stuck with the pricey ones anyway. and give organic a look too if you got the patience, it stacks over time while ads stop the second you stop paying.
 
cheap doesn't always mean bad if the audience is active and actually matches your niche.
i'd rather test a few smaller placements than blow the whole budget on one channel.
 
Yeah, I've messed around with both. Sometimes the cheap channels convert surprisingly well if the niche is tight and the audience is actually engaged. Expensive doesn't always mean real views - often it's just inflated bot numbers.

I'd rather test 3-4 smaller channels than blow the whole budget on one "premium" slot. Spreads the risk, and you might find a hidden gem. Just always ask for a screenshot of recent post reach and scroll through the comments first. If there's zero real discussion, it's a ghost town.
