A Telegram bot isn’t just a convenient communication tool—it’s also a full-fledged channel for earning money. If you have a bot with an active audience, you can generate income from advertising broadcasts through the Telega.io platform.

The service now features a dedicated catalog where you can add your bot and accept advertising requests. The system automatically sends promotional messages and tracks statistics, freeing the bot owner from routine tasks.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to add your bot to the Telega.io catalog, pass moderation, and start monetizing your audience.

🤖 How It Works

Advertisers place orders through the catalog

You add your bot to the platform, and it appears in the Telega.io catalog. Advertisers choose their target audience (broadcast to the entire user base or a segment), place an order, and upload their promotional message.

You approve the request—the service handles the rest

You confirm the request in your dashboard. After that, the platform automatically sends the broadcast to your bot’s user base.

Full statistics for each order

Your dashboard displays all key data: ad broadcast status, number of delivered messages, and earnings.

Payment for actually delivered messages

The system only counts successfully delivered messages. You get paid for those, and the funds are credited to your balance.

Requirements for Connecting a Bot

To pass Telega.io moderation and start earning, your bot must meet the following conditions:

✅ At least 1,000 active users.

✅ The bot must comply with Telegram’s rules.

How to Add a Bot to the Telega.io Catalog

1) Register on Telega.io as a Channel Owner or log in to an existing account. In your dashboard menu, select "My Channels and Chats.

2) Go to the "My Bots" tab.

🔔 Important: If your bot was previously added but is now inactive, you’ll need to resubmit it for moderation and upload an updated user ID database. Without this, your bot won’t appear in the catalog or accept orders.

3) Click "Add Bot."

4) Enter the Bot Token.

The token allows Telega.io to fully automate ad broadcasts, eliminating the need for manual posting.

⚠️ Note: The token is used solely for managing broadcasts and does not grant control over your bot.

How to find your bot’s token: Open Telegram → Find @BotFather → Create a new bot or select an existing one → Get the token → Paste it into the "Bot Token" field in your Telega.io dashboard and click "Verify."

6) Fill in the bot’s profile. Add:

Avatar (logo or icon)
Name (the bot’s Telegram username)
Category (select from the dropdown)
Description (highlight your audience and content to stand out in the catalog)

7) Upload the user ID database.

Prepare a .txt file with up-to-date user IDs (one per line) and upload it.

📌 Important: Ensure the database is current and matches this bot. If the list contains invalid or outdated IDs, the system won’t calculate subscribers correctly, and broadcasts won’t work.

8) Set your pricing.

Go to the "Pricing" section and enter your rate per 1,000 delivered ad messages.

9) Wait for moderation.

After submission, your bot undergoes checks for:

Token validity
Compliance with requirements
Sufficient active subscribers

10) Moderation usually takes up to 48 hours. If adjustments are needed, you’ll receive feedback.

Once approved, your bot appears in the catalog.

You’ll start receiving orders in the "Ad Requests" section of your dashboard.

To launch a request, click "Accept and Run"—the service will automatically send messages to your bot’s users.

The request card will show the status, delivered message count, and earnings.

Important: If you cancel a broadcast after it has started, you won’t receive payment—even if some messages were already sent.

💡 Tip: After each completed request, Telega.io recalculates active users from your uploaded database. To avoid losing revenue due to invalid IDs, periodically update your subscriber list—add new users and remove inactive ones.
