Member sellers
In the last few years, buying Telegram members has become one of the most popular ways to increase channel statistics. You may have also been looking for a quick way to grow your channel and come across a multitude of member sellers who make tempting promises: “real members with high views”, “zero churn”, “fully guaranteed” and so on. But the reality of this market is more complicated than it seems. In this article, we want to reveal to you some secrets that most member sellers would rather you not know!
1. A real member is not always what you think
Many sellers use the phrase “real members”. But are these members really active? In many cases, this term refers to real users who have entered the channel through methods such as push notifications or pop-ups. These people may only enter your channel once and never take action.
Fact: A “real” member does not necessarily mean “interested and active”. Sellers do not explain this difference.
2. Member churn is almost inevitable
No seller guarantees churn exactly. But you will see many advertisements that say: “no churn”, “guaranteed forever”, etc.
Fact: Members who enter your channel through force (such as forced membership or pop-up) usually have a high churn in the first days. Some even leave after a few minutes. Sellers often hide this issue or blame you (such as the quality of the channel content).
3. They do not tell the difference between fake and inactive members
Fake members are Telegram accounts without an owner or created by bots. But “real but inactive” members are users who have no interest in your channel’s topic.
Note: Sellers usually sell inactive members as real members. But because these people have no interaction, their effect is the same as fake members.
4. Some sellers use spam methods to attract members
Methods such as adding people to the channel without their consent or repeatedly showing your channel in unwanted advertisements may attract a large number of users, but…
Danger: These methods can lead to the channel being reported, increased churn, or even limiting your activity on Telegram.
- Some statistics are fake
To attract customers, sellers may provide statistics such as:
• “50 thousand active members in a week”
• “80% post views”
• “Zero percent churn”
Fact: Most of these statistics are not real and are used solely to attract customers. No normal channel with 50,000 real members grows in a week without huge expenses.
- There are fake views
Some sellers also sell post view services in addition to members. But are these views real?
Behind the scenes: Many of the views sold are done by bots or groups of view exchange. So these statistics do not indicate real engagement.
- Membership is wrong regardless of the type of business
Sellers usually offer everything to everyone; but a member attracted to an entertainment channel is not suitable for a shopping channel.
. Result: If your target audience is not selected correctly, the number of members will only increase, without any effect on sales or engagement.
- Channel advertising is more principled than membership advertising
In many cases, targeted advertising on related channels attracts more real members. But because this method is more time-consuming and difficult, fewer sellers offer it.
Fact: The cost of attracting members may be slightly higher than traditional advertising, but the retention and engagement rates are much higher.
- Cheap packages are usually fake or low quality
A member with a very low price is not a good sign. Usually these members are either completely fake or entered through spam methods.
Reminder: The more you pay, the more members you get. Low price equals high risk and low value.
- Some sellers use your channel information
Unfortunately, after getting access to the link or channel statistics, some sellers abuse its information or even report the channel to get more money from you.
Recommendation: Work only with reputable, experienced sellers with real support.
Conclusion
Buying Telegram members can be useful in growing your channel if done with awareness and planning. But if you are deceived by false advertising and attractive promises, your budget will only be wasted and your channel’s credibility will be questioned. Now that you know the secrets that membership sellers don’t tell you, you can make smarter decisions.
