1. How the Telegram Ads auction works
Los Telegram Ads son mensajes patrocinados al final de canales públicos. Con 1.000+ suscriptores, el usuario ve un anuncio breve con media opcional. Se paga por impresiones (CPM: coste por 1.000 vistas).
No interrumpen el feed: un solo post patrocinado al final del canal, menos intrusivo pero visible para lectores activos.
Key Mechanics
-
Placement: Ads appear in public channels with 1,000+ subscribers
-
Payment model: CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) — you pay for views, not clicks
-
Ad formats: Text-only, text + image, text + video (new in 2026)
-
Targeting: By channels, topics, geography, and language (varies by account type)
-
Destinations: Ads can link to channels, bots, websites, or Mini Apps
-
Moderation: All ads are reviewed before publishing — AI review (1–4 hours) or manual review (12–24 hours)
-
Character limit: Up to 160 characters of ad text recommended for optimal CTR
How users see your ad: A reader opens their favorite crypto channel, scrolls through the latest posts, and at the bottom sees your sponsored message with a CTA button. If interested, they tap the button and land on your channel, bot, or website. You’re charged per 1,000 times this ad is displayed — regardless of whether users click.
2. Three account types: TON, Euro, and Stars
Telegram तीन खाता प्रकार देता है — भुगतान, मॉडरेशन और टार्गेटिंग अलग। सही खाता चुनना सबसे महत्वपूर्ण निर्णयों में है।

4. Targeting layers you can use
Telegram Ads offers several targeting methods. The available options depend on your account type. Here’s a breakdown of every targeting method available in 2026:
Channel Targeting (All cabinets)
Select specific public channels where your ads appear. This is the most precise targeting method — choose channels your audience already follows. For example, if you’re promoting a DeFi protocol, target the top 50 crypto analysis channels. Channel targeting is available across all three account types and is the single biggest lever for campaign performance.
Topic Targeting (Euro खाते only)
Euro खाते offer 42 predefined topics that let you reach channels by category without selecting them individually. Topics include: Cryptocurrencies, Business & Entrepreneurship, Technology & Internet, Education, Health & Medicine, Fashion & Beauty, Travel & Tourism, Video Games, Fitness, News & Media, and 32 more. Topic targeting is ideal when you want broad reach across a category rather than precise channel selection.
Geographic Targeting (Euro खाते only)
Target users by country and region. Available in the 32 countries where Telegram Ads opens Euro खाते: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, UAE, Qatar, KSA, Israel, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Ethiopia, RSA, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, PH, Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru. Geographic targeting uses the user’s phone number country code and IP-based location, making it reasonably accurate for country-level targeting.
Language Targeting (Euro खाते only)
Target users by their Telegram interface language. 34+ languages supported, including English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, and more. Useful for reaching specific language communities regardless of their geographic location.
Bot and Mini App Targeting
Promote directly to Telegram bot users or Mini App audiences. This newer targeting method lets you reach users who have interacted with specific bots or apps within Telegram, offering behavioral targeting that was previously unavailable on the platform.
Targeting strategy: On TON and Stars accounts, your channel list is the targeting. Spend time researching channels — the quality of your channel list determines 70–80% of your campaign performance. Use tools like Targeto’s channel analyzer to evaluate audience overlap and engagement rates before launching.
5. Who advertises on Telegram today

6. Launch in five practical steps
Launching your first Telegram Ads campaign takes less than 10 minutes. Here’s the step-by-step process:
-
Pick an account type. TON for crypto and broad reach, Euro for geo and external URLs, Stars for fast tests and sensitive categories. If unsure, start with Stars — highest approval rate, no minimum deposit.
-
Create an account. Go to ads.telegram.org and create your advertising cabinet. Or connect your existing cabinet to Targeto for bulk management and AI automation features.
-
Select target channels or topics. For TON/Stars: research and select 10–20 public channels your audience follows. For Euro: choose topics, geographies, or specific channels. Quality channel selection is the #1 factor for campaign success.
-
Write your ad text. Keep it under 160 characters. Lead with a benefit or hook, not your brand name. Include a clear CTA. Test 3–5 variations to find what resonates. Example: “Track 100+ Telegram Ads campaigns from one dashboard. Free 3-day trial →”
-
Set CPM bid and budget, submit for moderation. Start with the minimum CPM for your account type. Set a daily budget of $10–$50 for testing. Submit your ad — AI moderation takes 1–4 hours, manual moderation 12–24 hours.
First campaign checklist: Start with 3–5 ad creatives per campaign. Test for 24 hours before making changes. Kill anything below 0.3% CTR. Scale winners by increasing budget gradually (20–30% per day). Rotate creatives every 5–7 days to avoid ad fatigue.
