What if I have zero subscribers?

That is a normal start. The newcomers’ basket and niche folders work without reach — that is exactly what they are for. Weekly round-ups are switched off for now.

Do I have to let the engine write?

No. The engine is optional: you can use only the analytics and the exchange and write everything yourself.

What is the guarantor and why is it safe?

A swap post is published through us and checked at random moments. Taken down early — it shows, and the swap does not count. Nobody is left holding an unkept promise.

How long does 10,000 take?

By our estimate about a year and a half on exchange alone, faster with a small ad budget. We will name an exact figure once our own channel proves it.

Do you compete with Telegram ads?

No, it is a different path. Buying and swapping combine well: ads give a jump, exchange gives a steady inflow.

How do you take payment?

Cryptocurrency (USDT) and Telegram Stars. Cards will come later.

A channel that grows for the price of a subscription

GramDirectory grows a Telegram channel by audience exchange instead of bought traffic: the engine writes, we measure the metrics. From zero to a channel that earns.

A million roubles versus a subscription

Two years ago this project’s founder was quoted for growing a crypto channel to 10,000 subscribers: 1,000,000 ₽ and six months. That is a fair market price for buying traffic — about $1 per subscriber in that niche. Here is what the other path looks like.

	Buying traffic	GramDirectory
Money	≈ $10,000 up front	$19–99 per month
Time to 10k	≈ six months	≈ a year and a half
Content	yours, or a copywriter on top	engine drafts, you edit
Risk	budget goes with no guarantee	pay monthly, watch it grow

An estimate, not a promise: the pace depends on your niche and how regularly you swap. We are testing it on our own channel and will publish the real numbers.

We are not a competitor to Telegram advertising, nor a replacement — it is a different path. If you buy ads, exchange amplifies them. If you never have, you will grow without them.

Stage 1. Channel at zero

Few subscribers or none — nothing to trade yet

The core problem of a channel at zero: there is nothing to trade — no reach anyone else wants yet.

Newcomers’ basket

You press “Join” on the Growth tab — a channel under 500 subscribers qualifies. We show neighbours of your topic and size, and you swap posts with them one to one. You get your first readers with no reach coefficients and no commission. For now you post it yourself: we do not publish on your behalf yet.

Niche folder

Inside the basket you opt in to the folder. Overnight we assemble a Telegram folder from channels of your topic and language — at least three are needed. You get a link that adds the whole folder, your channel included, in one tap.

Weekly round-up

Nothing to do separately: membership comes from the basket. Once a week the neighbour line-up is refreshed and everyone posts it — regular exposure with no negotiation. ⚠️ Switched off for now: we do not publish round-ups on your behalf yet; it goes live once we have tested it on our own channel.

Content engine

You write a couple of talking points on the Content tab, or ask for a topic plan for your niche. The engine returns a draft and you edit it into your own words. You get a post that goes to your channel in one tap — for that our bot has to be an admin there with permission to post.

Stage 2. Channel growing

You have an audience and reach — time to speed up

Cross-promo exchange

Reach-for-reach swaps with channels your size. A guarantor publishes and checks: the post goes out through us, stays up for the agreed time, and every tenth swap is our commission.

Analytics

Daily history of subscribers and reach, weekly and monthly deltas — you see what worked.

Retrospective

We restore reach and posting rate backwards from your post history, so the chart does not start today.

Niche scouting

The 20 channels you compete with: their movement, your place, the niche median.

Stage 3. Channel earning

The audience is there; time to monetise it

Mark your channel as selling advertising — advertisers will find you in the catalogue by measured numbers, not by promises.

Selling advertising

Your own price list, requests from advertisers, publication through the guarantor.

Listings bot

If you run a group, the bot takes listings, counts them and moderates for you.

This is how advertisers see you
