Send a million direct messages on Telegram and two things happen. You get replies, or you get banned. The whole game is which one arrives first, and how much you can push before it does.

Almost everything written about this subject is written by people who have never had an account limited, so instead of another guide nobody finishes, we're doing it again in the open, from ten accounts, and posting what happens as it happens.

THE PLAN
Start with 10 accounts.
Send 10 messages per account per day.
Add 10 new accounts at the end of every week.


Run that for a year and it comes to 964,600 messages across 52 weeks, 530 accounts at the end, 5,300 a day. The millionth message actually lands on day 371, a week past the year mark, and we would rather say that now than have someone work it out later. Something will break long before then. That's the part worth reading.

WHAT GETS POSTED HERE
Every lesson lands in this thread the day it happens, not at the end.

• What actually gets an account limited, and what only looks like it does.
• How reply rate moves when the wording changes.
• What send pace the platform tolerates in practice, per account and in total.
• What happens to reply rate as the account pool grows.
• The failures, including the ones that cost us accounts.

Nothing here is for sale and there's no offer at the end of this thread.

If you've run Telegram outreach yourself, post what broke for you. Half of what we know came from someone else's failure, and this thread is better with yours in it.

There's something real in that, and it's worth pulling apart from the part that isn't.

The real part: a message that doesn't demand a reply gets reported less. Nobody reports a line they can ignore.

The part that costs you: on iPhone, a link in a first cold message isn't clickable until the recipient interacts with the chat. We sent the same message to two people on the same day, one on Android, one on iPhone. Android, clickable. iPhone, dead text. The link only woke up after the iPhone user replied.

So "send a message that doesn't need a reply" quietly turns into "send a message whose link never activates for a chunk of your list". That's why the reply is the metric in this thread instead of a vanity number. The reply is the thing that switches the link on.

What have you seen on your side? If you have iPhone recipients opening cold links without interacting first, I want to hear it, because that would break what we measured.

what about not links??

something that user would search on google and just founds u

or a referral code or promotion code
 
Following this. The math looks solid on paper, but Telegram is ruthless with account burn rates once you start sending cold DMs.

The biggest bottleneck you'll likely hit early on isn't the daily limits, it's account/provider quality and session warm up. If you're using cheap virtual numbers, half of them will probably get flagged before you even reach your daily target.

Are you using residential proxies per session and letting the accounts age a bit, or are you jumping straight into DMs on fresh accounts? Looking forward to seeing the updates.
 
Where are you getting the Telegram accounts and how are you monetizing these DMs?

Good question, and it turns into a measurement rather than an opinion, so it goes into the plan.

90% of the messages will carry at least one link. The other 10% will carry none. The point is the comparison: same accounts, same window, two versions, and the thing being watched is what it does to the accounts rather than what it does to clicks.

The version without a link carries an invitation variant instead, so the message still has somewhere to go.

Both halves get posted here with the numbers, including the half that turns out to be wrong.

Every one of those points is correct, and the account side is where we agree completely.

On sourcing: these are our own accounts, hundreds of them, long lived and created with real SIM cards rather than bought as cheap virtual numbers. That removes the failure you're describing before it starts, and it's the single most expensive decision in the whole plan.

On proxies: we started at one proxy per five accounts and the plan is to walk that down to one proxy per one account over the run. Five isn't defensible and we're not pretending otherwise. The whole point of doing this in the open is to see where each ratio stops working and to publish the point at which it does.

Our own recommendation, stated plainly so nobody has to read it out of the results: one proxy, one account.

Two questions, so two answers.

The accounts are ours. Hundreds of them, long lived, created on real SIM cards rather than bought as cheap virtual numbers off a marketplace. That decision is the most expensive line in the whole plan and it's the one that removes most of the early failure, because the accounts that die first are almost always the ones that were never real to begin with.

On the money side, straight: we sit on the software side of this market, which is why we have the accounts and why a test like this is worth our time at all. What this thread isn't is a funnel. There's no offer in it, no name, no link, and there won't be one, because the moment a thread like this has something to sell the numbers in it stop being worth reading. What we take out of this run is the data, and whatever standing comes from publishing the parts that go wrong.

The part I'd rather spend the thread on is the part you asked about first. Where do you get accounts that survive? Everyone in this section has an opinion on sending and almost nobody publishes anything about sourcing, and sourcing is where the run either works or doesn't.

Can I ask how do you control all these accounts at once? It looks expensive with proxies ?

Both halves are fair questions, and the second one is the honest constraint.

Control: not phone by phone. Everything runs from one console, one list of accounts with one inbox in front of it, so a person is reading and answering in one place rather than juggling sessions. That's the only way a number like 530 accounts is even sayable out loud. The moment you're switching devices to keep up, the plan has already failed at 20.

Cost: that's the line that decides whether any of this works, and you've put your finger on it. Proxies are the largest recurring bill in the whole run, larger than the accounts themselves over twelve months. That's exactly why the ratio is being walked down in public instead of asserted. We started at one proxy per five accounts and we'll take it to one per one, and each step gets posted with what it did to survival, so anyone reading can see where their own budget should sit rather than take a number on faith.

If it turns out five per proxy survives just as well as one per one, that's the cheapest thing anyone in this thread will read all year, and we'll say so.

Despite all our messages containing links, none of our accounts have been banned by Telegram. 10 accounts continue to operate with 2 proxies.

The click-through rate seems to be quite low compared to the read rate of our messages. We will update the message variants in the coming days.
