[Guide] How to Monetize Telegram/Discord adult channel? (Earned +$1500 per month)

Hey guys, let me introduce myself. I have owned multiple adult telegram channels with a friend before and we were able to make $1500 per month with it.
However, we sold the channels because we wanted to focus on our other businesses. So, I've now decided to share our experiences with monetizing this channels.

I've seen in this and other forums many people struggling with monetizing a Telegram channel. For many people, getting the members is not the problem but making money with it is difficult.
That is why now that I stopped doing this business, I decided to share my monetization method. I will explain it step by step.

First, let me show the results that we got. We had around 5000 visits per day with an average CPM of $10, equaling around $50 daily revenue ($1500 per month).
These are the results of one year ago:


The method is still working, because I have shared it privately with a few friends which are using it and they are making similar amounts.

Step 1:​

Of course, you need an active telegram channel with members that are being active and interested in your content. The more active members you have, the more you will earn.
For creating and growing an adult telegram/discord channel, we suggest you to read other threads on this forum. There are a lot on this topic.

Step 2:​

Instead of uploading the +18 videos and photos directly on the telegram channel, upload it to some free file upload site that gives you a link to share and download.

Step 3:​

This is the most important step. Now that you have the download links, go to a paid URL Shortener. For the people that don't know what paid URL Shortener are, I will explain it. A paid URL Shortener is a website where you can shorten your URLs and earn money for every visit. When you shorten a URL, you get the shortened URL and users will see ads before they are able to get to the destination URL that you entered. This can be done on the dashboard of the URL Shortener but it can also be automatized since most of them have API and other tools.

So, what you need to do, is shorten the download links from step 2. Now you have links that will pay you.
Many people think that these links are full of pop-ups and annoying ads and that it's almost impossible to get to the destination. However, this is not true at all. Some of them do but there are some that are very clean and only have some display ads.

IMPORTANT: Many URL Shorteners are scam and do not pay. Always choose for a URL Shortener that pays daily so that you can only lose 1 day of revenue. This way the risk is much lower. I've lost a lot of money due to scams in this sector, so I do not want it to happen to guy guys.
I am not allowed to recommend specific URL Shorteners on Blackhatworld, but there is shorteners (dot) net where you can compare Shorteners and choose the one that fits best for you. This is a safe approach, because on this website you can see if a shortener is scam or legit.

Step 4:​

Share these links on the telegram channel. You will get paid for every visit. The CPM depends on the countries of your visits. Tier 1 countries give the best CPM.


That's it. Any questions, please comment and I will be happy to help and share my experience

it's an interesting guide but getting traffic is obviously going to be the main problem for most people

dealing with bans, etc. Some people are not ready for that and also that is a method that needs you to have some dollars to get the ball rolling, just like any other methods

not magical but solid

You’ve shared a great method. A common challenge people face, one that comes up repeatedly is attracting traffic; could you share how to drive traffic?

Interesting guide. Another approach would be to replace the free file host + paid URL shortener combination with a direct paid-download link.

The creator uploads the file, sets a price, and the buyer gets access immediately after payment. This removes the advertising and redirect step, although it would be interesting to compare the conversion rate with CPM-based shorteners.

Full disclosure: I am involved with SellFileFast, which is built around this direct pay-per-file model, so I may be biased. I am mentioning it because it is directly relevant to Steps 2 and 3 of this guide.

Has anyone tested direct paid downloads versus paid URL shorteners with Telegram or Discord traffic?

Thank you so much, good info but risy

Question, how do you manage reports from Telegram since this is adult niche and high possibility of channel deletion?

Paid URL Shorteners beats it by a lot. Users do not want to pay for a file, so revenue and user satisfaction is lower with your model.
