Telegram monetization has evolved rapidly over the last few years, turning from a side hustle for channel owners into a legitimate revenue stream for digital creators, educators, and community builders. In 2025, there are two major roads to make money on Telegram — building a paid membership model with tools like InviteMember (often paired with support bots such as SUCH bot) or tapping into the Telegram Ads Platform.

Below, we’ll break down both approaches, their Telegram monetization requirements, and how to decide which one fits your goals.

1. The Membership Model: How InviteMember Works

InviteMember isn’t just a bot you plug into your channel — it’s a platform for creating your own subscription bots. Think of it as the engine under the hood, while your brand and community drive the experience. There are no special monetization requirements when using InviteMemnet, only signing up to the platform and complying with their ToS (anyone can do this worldwide).

• Role of InviteMemberBot: It’s not a subscription bot itself; it’s a framework that generates a custom subscription bot for you.
  
• Integration with SUCH bot: If InviteMember is the caviar, SUCH bot is the fine silverware — handling support bot duties like answering member questions, managing onboarding, and reducing churn.
  
• How it Monetizes: You can charge users to access your Telegram group or channel, with flexible payment intervals (monthly, quarterly, annually) and global payment gateways.
  
• Automation Benefits: Payment confirmation, user access management, and subscription renewals happen without manual intervention.
  

Example Setup:

1. Sign up with InviteMember and link your Telegram account.
   
2. Create your subscription tiers and prices.
   
3. Integrate payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, crypto).
   
4. Deploy your generated subscription bot.
   
5. Pair it with a SUCH support bot to handle queries and improve retention.
   

This approach is perfect for course creators, premium news curators, investment signal providers, and niche communities where content has intrinsic value.

2. Telegram Ads Platform: Monetization Requirements

Telegram’s Ads Platform is the more “broadcast media” side of Telegram channel monetization. Instead of charging your audience directly, you earn from advertisers who pay to display sponsored posts.

Current 2025 Requirements (subject to updates):

• Minimum 1,000 subscribers in your public channel.
  
• Content must comply with Telegram’s advertising guidelines (no prohibited categories).
  
• Ads are inserted by Telegram, not by the channel owner, and cannot be modified.
  
• Revenue share depends on total ad impressions.
  

Advantages:

• Passive income without changing your content delivery style.
  
• No need to handle payments or support.
  

Limitations:

• Lower control over monetization rates.
  
• Ads may not perfectly align with your community’s tone or niche.
  

This route suits large, free-to-access channels with broad audiences, where volume outweighs exclusivity.

4. Hybrid Monetization: Best of Both Worlds

Many creators in 2025 combine both strategies:

• A free public channel monetized with Telegram ads.
  
• A private paid group/channel powered by InviteMember for premium content, with SUCH ensuring smooth member experience.
  

This hybrid model lets you monetize every segment of your audience — casual followers through ads, and superfans through subscriptions.

5. Final Thoughts

How to make money on Telegram in 2025 comes down to knowing your audience. If you have exclusive, high-value content and want full control, InviteMember + SUCH is the gold standard. If your strength is large-scale reach with free content, Telegram Ads Platform is the more passive option.

And if you’re smart? You’ll blend both, making your Telegram monetization strategy as dynamic as the platform itself.
