7 Ways to Make Money on Telegram in 2026 (A Realistic Breakdown)

Most make money on Telegram videos show the same 
methods and skip the details that actually matter.   So today I'll show you seven real ways to earn 
with Telegram, including what actually works,   what to avoid, and the things almost nobody 
explains in other videos. In case you don't know,   my name is Mikael and I have tested hundreds of 
earning methods over the years and Telegram is one   of the methods that many have asked me about. 
And let me just reveal right away that yes,   you can make money with Telegram, but only if 
you understand how the different methods works   so you can find what will actually work for you. 
And it will also only work if you know how to   stay away from the scams because unfortunately 
there are many of those also. So in this video,   I'll break down seven realistic Telegram earning 
methods from small daily tasks to more skill-based   options that can grow into something bigger.

And 
I will give you the pros and the downsides and the   important details most videos leave out so you 
can decide what's actually worth your time. So,   let's get started with method number one. So, 
method number one is free Telegram bots because   a lot of people don't realize that there are 
actually legit bots that pay small amounts for   simple tasks. For example, watching ads, clicking 
banners, completing short daily tasks, and more   similar easy small tasks. Just be aware that there 
are a lot of fake bots that will basically just   waste your time, in some cases even scam you. And 
there are also many that pay extremely low rewards   for the task you do. So you have to be very 
critical when choosing free Telegram bots. But   no matter which bot like this you choose, you have 
to be aware that this is not something to make you   rich or anything like that. It's for a tiny bit of 
extra money because in general the free telegram   bots they do pay significantly less than what 
you can for example find on get paid to sites   but it can still be a little bit extra and usually 
it's easy tasks.

An example of a bot that I have   tested and used also is called Clickbee BTC but 
here I actually do have a full video where I show   how to use that. I'll leave a link in the top 
corner there. But this is just an example. You   can see there are small um different tasks. For 
example, you can visit sites that's basically   where you need to just click and open a site. So, 
it's clicking ads. It pays very little, but it is   one of the sites where you can actually earn. This 
particular one is for earning free Bitcoin. If you   want to know more details about, you can check out 
the video there. This is just one example of one   of the ones that I know you can actually use, but 
you do need to do it with the right expectations.   It pays very little, but bots like this do 
exist.

So just want to make that clear. But   be careful with the fake free Telegram bots. Also, 
if they promise rewards that sound too good to be   true or ask you to connect a wallet or anything 
like that, then just stay away from it. Next,   let's talk about airdrops because a lot of people 
are looking for Telegram airdrops because there   are a lot of crypto airdrops done on Telegram. But 
a lot of people get confused and also misled and   often scammed when they are looking for Telegram 
airdrops because many of these airdrops make it   sound like it's guaranteed free money in some 
cases even huge amounts of money for no effort   other than joining a Telegram group and connecting 
a wallet or something like that. But the reality   and I have looked into a lot of different earning 
methods and airdrops and free ways to earn crypto   and 80 to 90% of air drops in my opinion are 
either completely worthless or complete scams.

So   keep that in mind and also be aware that sometimes 
there are certain tasks you need to participate   in to actually get the airdrops once they 
are made. And when it comes to these tasks,   also be critical because very often they are 
really not worth it. But there are sometimes   legit decent airdrops where you can earn a bit. 
But you do need to try to find legit projects you   can follow to be able to find these.

So always 
make sure to check the terms, do research about   the company, the people, the project behind and 
avoid connecting your crypto wallet because there   are a ton of scams on Telegram where they ask you 
to connect a wallet and then they will just drain   your wallet and I have seen this unfortunately 
happen many times. People get just get carried   away. They see oh this is a urgent airdrop and 
also be careful when they say this is urgent   you need to connect now because that's how you 
get you. then people connect their wallet and   instead of getting anything they will just get 
drained. So just be very very careful what you   connect a crypto wallet to. So if you do decide 
to participate in an airdrop no matter how legit   it seems and everything then I recommend that you 
always use a fresh wallet. So not your main crypto   wallet where you have crypto in already because 
you do actually risk losing it in case you connect   it to a scam or the airdrop itself is a scam. So 
in general, Telegram airdrops is not something I   as such recommend because there are so many scams 
and risks, but it is an option that many have   asked about and there are options once in a while. 
So you do need to do research and be very careful.   Next, we have to talk about creating your own 
Telegram channel or group so you can create   a community around what you are interested in, 
what you have knowledge about, so you can share   it with others.

Because this is one of the most 
sustainable methods on Telegram. But most videos   never explain the work that is actually required 
to make something like this work. They just make   it seem like you just create a channel and then 
people join and you get a ton of money like that.   That is not how it works. So if you want to do 
something like this then there are a few things   you in my opinion and experience should do.

So 
first of all you should pick a topic that you care   about something you have at least some knowledge 
about where you want to share some experience.   Then you should start posting content consistently 
inside the Telegram group but also other places   because you do still need to get traffic from 
other places into your telegram channel or group   in most places uh to start growing it. So that 
can be to drive traffic from YouTube, Instagram,   TikTok or even a website if you have that. 
So that means you should also create content other   places and then you should make people aware 
of your telegram channel where you will share   more information and then that way you can grow a 
community and then once you are focused on growing   that community where you provide value where you 
focus on quality then you can monetize it and that   can be done for example through sponsored posts, 
affiliate links, referral links, you can even   create your own products you can promote there you 
can also offer services depending on the topics   you talk about also.

Alo an option is to actually 
make a paid community on Telegram if you use a   third party tool for example to do this. So this 
of course requires quite a bit of work but it's   the method with the biggest long-term potential in 
my opinion and I have actually done this myself.   You can see here I have a Telegram channel where 
I share daily exclusive tips and info I actually   do not share anywhere else. And for example, I 
also have my YouTube channel. And right now   I'm letting you know if you for example want to 
join that and get these exclusive here. You can go   there and visit that. I will leave a link to that 
below also. So you can go and check it out. This   is free. I share some extra tips there. Then you 
can see how I do it there also. And that can be uh   one way to do it. So once you have that link, you 
can share it. Another option if you want to share   your link to Telegram or to different channels 
you in general have is that you can have a link in   bio tool.

So you can just link people to a page 
where you have your link to your telegram or to   your YouTube channel to different other channels 
you want to make people aware of. I actually also   have a video about a new and a really great link 
in bio tool that I have come across. I'll leave a   link to that in the top corner there. It's called 
BioParty. You can check that out. That's one I   recommend. It's really great if you have social 
media presence in general and try to build up an   audience to have a link page like that.

And this 
is a great new option you can get started with   completely free also. So you can check that out 
if that's something you are interested in. So   before moving on, I just want to make you aware 
that the majority of you watching have actually   not subscribed and it's a free and easy way to 
support me so I can keep creating valuebased   content like this. So I would really appreciate 
if you can just hit the subscribe button there.   It's completely free, easy.

You can always change 
your mind later. And also it would be great if you   can hit the like button for this video here. I 
would really appreciate that support. So another   thing you can do on Telegram is to join trading 
groups. And there are a lot of these especially   crypto trading groups on Telegram. And it is 
actually full of groups claiming something like   daily signals or copy my trades and they make it 
look like very easy money.

And I must say I have   joined and tested a lot of these different groups 
there and some of them can give good info and good   ideas for which newer projects for example to look 
into. But be aware that many trading channels are   paid to promote just random projects. So they just 
promote whatever they get paid to promote without   doing any research or anything like that. So 
often there are influencers like this especially   on Telegram but also on X and other platforms that 
are paid to hype projects. So the price will go up   and then they just sell and dump on people and 
then if you buy because you just blindly trust   them then it dumps and you actually end up losing 
money instead. So even sometimes that you use fake   screenshots of profits to show how good they 
are and all this.

So be very careful if you do   something like this. Always do your own research. 
Do not just blindly trust a Telegram channel that   says like oh just do this or just buy this. So I 
would say if you want to learn trading you should   make sure that you follow proper educational 
channels and you get real training not just   blindly trusting these Telegram signals but it can 
be great for inspiration. Sometimes there are some   good ideas but just again be very critical. You 
can also play games on Telegram and sometimes earn   by doing that and this is often also especially 
crypto games that are on Telegram and these can   be fun and sometimes also lead to small rewards. 
Just be aware again there are many poor games,   some that never pay, some that are scams and 
some they just don't have a proper business   model so they end up just actually not paying. 
So just keep that in mind.

But there can also   be legit methods. Just keep in mind that often the 
rewards are quite small unless the game of course   becomes huge. So make sure you carefully choose 
something. One of the most popular just to give   you an example also is called Hamster Combat. 
This has really grown over the last year or so.   So it's a very popular one. It is also one that 
you can play on Telegram there. So it can be one   you can check out just to give you a little bit 
of inspiration. But always make sure do your own   research. Be careful. Do not expect to become 
rich by playing small games like this. You can   also offer services to existing Telegram channels 
because there are a lot of Telegram channels that   sometimes need help. And this is one of the 
most underrated ways and it's actually a real   skill-based income option that can potentially 
grow into something bigger. So for example,   it can become a moderator for a crypto project. 
It can be coming a community manager.

It can be   to create posts or announcements for a channel. 
It can be to help manage a channel, edit graphics,   help with engagement or research. So these can be 
methods and ways to find that can for example be   to go on a freelance platform like Fiverr, you can 
see if you search for Telegram moderator, you can   see there are quite a few people that do that that 
offer this year. And you can also see many of them   have quite a few reviews which means that people 
have actually hired them and paid them for this.   So it is something people are actually looking 
for on freelance platforms. So you can create   pro profiles here and do this. Of course there's 
a lot of competition. So don't expect just because   you create a profile and do a job post there that 
you will just automatically get hired. It always   takes time and effort. Another way is that you can 
go to different Telegram groups for example and   engage and participate. I often see in Telegram 
groups that people just join and right away say,   "Oh, I can offer this, pay me to do that." And 
that's not going to work.

But many crypto projects   for example, they need admins and if you start 
participating and engaging and providing value,   then it can open up opportunities if you show 
that you can actually provide value. Of course,   it takes effort to do it this way here. Uh but 
it can be something worth considering so you   stand out and you get a competitive edge that's 
way. But also here when we talk about different   Telegram moderator jobs for example, be careful 
because there are also a lot of fake Telegram   moderator jobs.

I also see in Telegram groups 
regularly that there's also people that come   in say oh get this moderator job and then you 
know earn whatever $30 an hour something like   that. But be very careful if it's just somebody 
that just comes there and spams it and asks you   to contact them there. So chances are that you 
will end up getting scammed. They will charge   you something. Connect a crypto wallet and drain 
it or something like that. So again, also here,   be critical. If it sounds too good to be true, it 
usually is. If they ask for payment, stay away.   Different precautions like that is something you 
definitely need to keep in mind. Another thing,   if you have the technical skills to do it, 
is that you can build Telegram bots and sell   them on freelance platforms. For example, again, 
I'll just go on Fiverr. Again, this is not the   only freelance platform.

There are many freelance 
platforms where you can actually create job post.   This is just because it's one of the most popular. 
So, I'm just showing you some of the options   here. I do have a list on my website of the best 
freelance websites so you can find others because   I do recommend you also use others because if you 
just use Fiverr, there is a lot of competition.   So, it can be great to also use others. I'll leave 
a link to that in the description below.

But just   to show you here, for example, if you search 
for Telegram, but on Fiverr, you can see there   are quite a lot of people that offer that. You see 
this person here, he even charges more than €2,000   and 39 people have actually left a review there. 
So that is a person that's making good money.   And then we have the more regular people that 
charge a little bit less here. But still again,   you can see they are getting hired. This person 
has 99 reviews. So that at least 99 people have   hired him. It starts at €28 there. So if you 
have the skills or are willing to learn it,   this can also be a way uh to start earning with 
Telegram.

So as you can see there are different   real methods you can earn with telegram. You just 
need to do it with the right expectations. You   need to choose the right method for you and 
for your goals and then be willing to put in   whatever effort is required to reach your goals. 
But these methods here are real realistic ways   uh to get started. And for some of the resources I 
mentioned here, I'll leave links below so you can   go and check that out.
