Reward for Channel Owners
The messaging app Telegram announced on Sunday that it is introducing a generous reward system to share revenue with channel owners. According to the report, Telegram channel owners can now receive 50% of the revenue from ads displayed in their channels.
Telegram said that starting March 31, owners of public channels that have 1000 subscribers can be rewarded with 50% of the revenue from ads displayed in their channels. That its users generate over 1 trillion views in channels every month.
As a channel owner, you can withdraw your rewards with no fees or reinvest them into Telegram ads, collectible usernames, or premiums. Withdrawals for channel owners will become available in the coming weeks on Fragment, as stated in the report.
TON-based Ads
Telegram also introduced a new type of ads that its users can buy with Toncoins (TON), a cryptocurrency powered by the TON Blockchain. The company chose the TON Blockchain because it has low fees and high transaction speeds.
“Anyone can now promote their bot or channel – with budgets as low as a handful of Toncoins. When creating a Telegram ad, you choose the exact channels where you’d like it to appear, so you have full control over their context.” Telegram said.
The messaging app has been creating new levels of group conversation for its users. Last month, it introduced stories for groups and eight more features. According to the report, groups can now publish stories and save them as posts on their profile pages, create unique wallpapers and statuses, and customize their appearance, including the color and logo of the group’s profile cover or link style.
