What is a Telegram Channel and How It Differs from a Group

Before creating a channel, it’s important to understand the difference between a Telegram channel and a Telegram group. Many beginners confuse these concepts and choose the wrong format.

Key Differences: Channel vs Group

Characteristic	Telegram Channel	Telegram Group
Communication Type	One-way (admin → subscribers)	Two-way (everyone can post)
Participant Limit	Unlimited	Up to 200,000
Anonymity	Subscribers don’t see each other	Members see everyone
Who Can Post	Only administrators	All members (or configurable)
Post Reactions	Yes (configurable)	Yes
Comments	Optional (via separate group)	By default
Statistics	Detailed (reach, views, ER)	Basic
Monetization	Ads, subscriptions, sales	More difficult
Search	Indexed in Telegram & Google	Only if public
Ideal For	Broadcasting, media, business, blogs	Discussions, communities, teams

When to Choose a Channel?

A Telegram channel is the right choice if you want to:

• 📢 Publish content without spam and off-topic comments
• 📊 Get detailed statistics for each post
• 👥 Maintain subscriber anonymity (they don’t see each other)
• 💰 Monetize through advertising or paid subscriptions
• 🎯 Scale without participant limits
• 🤖 Automate posts through bots and services

When to Choose a Group?

A Telegram group is suitable if you need:

• 💬 Two-way communication with participants
• 🤝 Community for discussions and networking
• 👨‍💼 Workspace for a team or project
• 🎓 Educational platform with Q&A sessions

💡 Pro Tip: Many successful projects use a hybrid model: public channel for content + private group for discussions. This allows you to combine wide reach with an engaged community.

Channel Usage Statistics in 2025

According to Telegram Analytics:

• 📈 73% of new channels are created for business purposes
• 💼 85% of companies plan to launch a channel in 2025
• 🚀 Channels with regular posts (3-5 times per week) grow 4x faster
• 🤖 Channels with automation have 67% higher engagement rate
• 💰 Average income from a 10K+ subscriber channel: significant

Now that you understand the difference, let’s proceed to creating a channel.

Step 1: Creating a Channel via Mobile App

The easiest way to create a Telegram channel is through the mobile app. The process takes literally 2-3 minutes.

For Android Users

1. Open the Telegram app on your Android smartphone
2. Tap the ☰ (menu) icon in the top left corner
3. In the menu, select “New Channel”
4. Telegram will prompt you to enter a channel name (up to 255 characters)
5. Add a channel description (optional but recommended)
6. Tap the “Create” button with the checkmark ✓

📱 Important for Android: If you have an older version of Telegram, the “New Channel” option may be located in “New Group” → “Channel”. We recommend updating the app to the latest version.

For iOS (iPhone) Users

1. Open Telegram on your iPhone or iPad
2. Go to the “Chats” tab at the bottom of the screen
3. Tap the ✏️ (pencil) icon in the top right corner
4. In the menu that appears, select “New Channel”
5. Enter your channel name
6. Optionally add a description
7. Tap “Next” in the top right corner

🍎 Tip for iOS: On iPad, the process is identical, but due to the larger screen, all buttons are more visible and convenient to configure.

Common Mistakes at This Stage

Mistake	Why It Happens	How to Fix
Can’t find “New Channel”	Outdated app version	Update Telegram in Google Play / App Store
Can’t enter name in non-Latin characters	Keyboard issue	Switch keyboard language in phone settings
“Name is taken”	This message is about username, not name	Channel name can be anything, this is about @username

Step 2: Creating a Channel via Desktop

If you’re working from a computer, it’s more convenient to create a channel via the desktop version — easier to upload images and edit descriptions.

Via Telegram Desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux)

1. Download Telegram Desktop from the official site desktop.telegram.org (if not already installed)
2. Open the app and log in
3. Click the ☰ (menu) icon in the top left corner
4. Select “New Channel”
5. In the window that appears:
   • Enter channel name
   • Add description (recommended)
   • Optionally upload avatar (can do later)
6. Click “Create Channel” button

Via Web Version (web.telegram.org)

1. Open your browser and go to web.telegram.org
2. Log in with your phone number
3. Click ☰ (menu)
4. Select “New Channel”
5. Fill in the information and confirm creation

💻 Desktop Version Advantages:

• ✅ More convenient for editing texts and description
• ✅ Faster to upload images from computer
• ✅ Easier to configure admin rights
• ✅ Can open multiple channels simultaneously in different windows

Step 3: Initial Channel Settings

After creating the channel, it’s critically important to configure it properly. These settings affect how subscribers perceive your channel and whether they’ll want to subscribe.

Choosing a Channel Name (Most Important!)

The name is the first thing potential subscribers see. A good name can increase subscription conversion by 40-60%.

Effective Name Rules:

• 📏 Length: 15-32 characters (optimal 20-25)
• 🎯 Clarity: Should be obvious what the channel is about
• 🔍 SEO: Include keywords (Telegram indexes names)
• 😊 Emoji: 1-2 pieces to attract attention
• 🚫 Avoid: CAPS LOCK, many special characters (★✦⚡), spam-like appearance

Examples of GOOD Names:

Name	Why It Works	Niche
📈 Marketing with John	Personal brand + topic	Expert channel
🇺🇸 Tech News USA	Clear topic + geo + emoji	Media
💰 Crypto for Beginners	Topic + target audience	Educational project
🍳 Cooking Together | Recipes	Action + content category	Lifestyle
⚡ Breaking News Daily	USP (speed) + frequency	News

Examples of BAD Names:

Name	Problem	How to Fix
My channel	Not informative, no USP	“Marketing with John” or “SMM Blog”
SUPER MEGA AWESOME!!!	Spam-like, caps lock	Any normal name
asdf123channel	Unclear abbreviation	Full topic name
★✦⚡CHANNEL⚡✦★	Too many special characters	Maximum 1-2 emoji

💡 Pro Tip: Test the name with friends. If after reading the name they don’t understand what the channel is about — the name needs improvement.

Creating a Channel Description

The description appears under the channel name and helps people understand whether they should subscribe. A quality description can increase conversion by 30-40%.

Effective Description Structure:

[One sentence about what you do]

🎯 What we publish:
• Point 1
• Point 2
• Point 3

📬 Frequency: [when posts go out]

👤 Author: [name or @username]

📧 Contact: [email or @username for feedback]

Uploading Channel Avatar

The avatar is your channel’s face. It appears in search, forwarded messages, and chat lists.

Technical Requirements:

• 📐 Size: Minimum 640×640px, recommended 1280×1280px or higher
• 📄 Format: JPG or PNG
• 💾 Weight: Up to 5 MB
• ⚪ Shape: Square (will display as circle in interface)

What to Use as Avatar:

Channel Type	Recommended Avatar	Example
Personal Brand	Your professional photo	Portrait on neutral background
Business/Company	Company logo	Clear logo on contrasting background
Media/News	Publication logo or thematic illustration	Stylized topic icon
Educational Project	Illustration or topic icon	Book, diploma, lightbulb
Entertainment	Bright illustration or meme	Meme character, emoji art

⚠️ Critically Important: The avatar must be clear even at small size (48×48px). This is how users will see it in their chat list. Avoid small details and thin lines.

Free Tools for Creating Avatar:

• 🎨 Canva — templates for Telegram avatars
• 🖼 Figma — professional design
• 🤖 Midjourney/DALL-E — AI-generated unique images
• 📸 Remove.bg — background removal from photos

Step 4: Choosing Between Public and Private Channel

After creating the channel, Telegram will offer to choose its type: public or private. This is one of the most important decisions affecting your growth strategy.

Public Channel: Pros and Cons

Public Channel Features:

• ✅ Has unique name (@username), for example @marketing_usa
• ✅ Found through Telegram search
• ✅ Accessible via direct link t.me/username
• ✅ Indexed in Google and other search engines
• ✅ Displayed in channel directories (various catalogs)
• ✅ Unlimited number of subscribers
• ✅ Can buy advertising through Telegram Ads

When to Choose a Public Channel:

• 🎯 You want to develop a large media project
• 📈 Need maximum visibility and organic growth
• 💰 Planning monetization through advertising
• 🔗 Content is intended for wide audience
• 🚀 You want to scale quickly

Private Channel: Pros and Cons

Private Channel Features:

• 🔒 No @username
• 🔍 Not found through Telegram search
• 🔗 Access only via invite link
• 👤 You control who subscribes
• 💎 Feeling of exclusive content
• 🛡 Greater privacy

When to Choose a Private Channel:

• 💰 Paid content or closed subscription
• 🎓 Educational project for selected participants
• 🏢 Corporate communication within company
• 🤝 Closed community or VIP club
• 🔐 Publishing confidential information
• 👥 Need audience control

Comparison Table: What to Choose?

Criteria	Public Channel	Private Channel
Growth Speed	⚡⚡⚡ Fast (organic traffic)	🐌 Slow (only invites)
Monetization	💰💰💰 Ads, sponsorships, sales	💰💰 Subscriptions, exclusive content
Exclusivity	Low (available to everyone)	⭐⭐⭐ High (invite only)
SEO Traffic	✅ Yes (indexed by Google)	❌ No
Audience Control	Minimal (free subscription)	✅ Full (approval of each)
Acquisition Difficulty	Easy (via search and ads)	Difficult (only direct invites)

💡 Can it be changed later? Yes, channel type can be changed in settings. But: when changing from public to private, you’ll lose @username and all external links will stop working. Subscribers will remain, but new ones won’t be able to find the channel.

Hybrid Model: Public + Private

Many successful projects use a two-channel strategy:

• 📢 Public channel — free content for wide audience
• 💎 Private VIP channel — paid exclusive content

Sales Funnel:

Public Channel (10,000 subscribers)
         ↓
Free content + VIP channel ads
         ↓
5% conversion (500 VIP subscribers)
         ↓
Stable passive income

This allows monetizing the audience without losing organic growth of the public channel.

Step 5: Setting Up @username for Public Channel

If you chose a public channel, the next step is to set a unique @username. This is your channel’s permanent link.

What is @username and Why You Need It?

Username is a unique channel identifier that allows:

• 🔗 Create short link like t.me/your_channel
• 🔍 Find channel through Telegram search
• 📊 Get indexed in Google and directories
• 📱 Mention channel via @ in other chats

Username Selection Rules

Technical Limitations:

• 📏 Length: from 5 to 32 characters
• 🔤 Characters: only Latin letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and underscores (_)
• 🚫 Prohibited: non-Latin characters, spaces, special characters (!@#$%^&*)
• 🎯 Uniqueness: must be available (not taken by others)

SEO and Marketing Recommendations:

1. ✅ Reflects topic — immediately clear what channel is about
2. ✅ Easy to remember — short and euphonious
3. ✅ Easy to pronounce — can be named verbally without confusion
4. ✅ Includes keywords — better for SEO
5. ✅ Unique — not similar to famous brands

Examples of GOOD Usernames

Username	Niche	Why It Works
@marketing_tips_usa	Marketing	Topic + geo + clear
@crypto_news_daily	Cryptocurrency	Topic + content + frequency
@johnson_blog	Personal Brand	Author name + format
@recipes_usa	Cooking	Topic + geo (easy to remember)
@smm_academy	Education	Field + learning format

Examples of BAD Usernames

Username	Problem	How to Fix
@abc	Less than 5 characters (not allowed)	Add words: @abc_marketing
@мій_канал	Non-Latin characters prohibited	@my_channel_usa
@super!!!channel	Special characters not allowed	@super_channel
@telegram_official	Looks like official channel (violation)	@your_unique_name
@a_b_c_d_e_f_g_h	Too hard to remember	@simple_name

How to Set Username: Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Enter channel settings (⚙️ icon)
2. Select “Channel Type” section
3. Switch toggle to “Public Channel”
4. In the “Link” field, enter desired name
5. Telegram will automatically check availability
6. If name is free — green checkmark ✓ appears
7. If taken — red cross ✗ and suggestion of other variants
8. Click “Save”

⚡ Life Hack: If desired username is taken, try adding:

• Geography: _usa, _nyc, _global
• Year: _2025
• Content type: _blog, _news, _channel
• Format: _official, _pro, _academy

How to Check Username Availability in Advance

Before creating a channel, you can check if the name is available:

1. Open Telegram
2. In search, enter @desired_name
3. If nothing found — name is available
4. If channel/user found — name is taken

Or simply open in browser: https://t.me/desired_name

Step 6: Basic Administration Settings

After creating the channel, it’s important to properly configure administrative functions: rights, comments, and reactions.

Comment Settings

Telegram allows adding discussions to each post. This creates a separate group where subscribers can comment.

Two Options:

1. No comments — pure one-way communication
2. With comments — linked discussion group is created

How to Enable Comments:

1. Channel Settings → “Discussion”
2. Select “Add Discussion Group”
3. Create new group or link existing one
4. Now each post will have “Comments” button

Criteria	With Comments	Without Comments
Engagement	⬆️ Higher (dialogue with audience)	⬇️ Lower (only reactions)
Moderation	❌ Required (negativity, spam)	✅ Not required
Feedback	✅ Direct dialogue	❌ Only via private messages
Community	✅ Forms around channel	❌ Doesn’t form
Time to Maintain	⏱ 30-60 min/day	⏱ 5-10 min/day

💡 Recommendation: For starters, better without comments. When audience grows to 1000-2000 subscribers and you understand their needs — then you can add discussion group.

Post Reaction Settings

Reactions are a quick way to get feedback from audience without comments.

How to Configure:

1. Settings → “Reactions”
2. Choose one of options:
   • All Telegram reactions (70+ emoji)
   • Selected reactions (up to 11 pieces)
   • No reactions

Popular Reaction Sets:

Channel Type	Recommended Reactions
News/Media	👍 👎 😮 😢 😠 🔥
Educational	👍 ❤️ 💯 🔥 🤔 📚
Motivational	❤️ 🔥 💪 👏 ✨
Entertainment	😂 😍 😮 🔥 💀 👏
Minimalist	👍 ❤️ 🔥

📊 Reaction Analytics: In statistics section, you can see how many times each reaction was given. This helps understand which content the audience likes.

Channel Automation with TGADM.IN from Day One

Creating a channel is just the beginning. The real challenge is regularly filling it with content. Most beginners abandon their channel after 2-3 weeks because they don’t have time for daily posts.

The Problem with Manual Posting

Let’s calculate how much time manual channel management takes:

Task	Time per Day	Per Month
Content creation (3 posts/day)	60 minutes	30 hours
Finding images	20 minutes	10 hours
Manual posting at specific times	15 minutes	7.5 hours
Monitoring RSS feeds	30 minutes	15 hours
TOTAL:	2 hours	62.5 hours

62.5 hours per month — that’s almost 2 working weeks! Now imagine managing 3-5 channels simultaneously…

Plan to Get First 500 Subscribers in 30 Days

Week	Actions	Expected Result

Top 5 Beginner Mistakes When Creating a Channel

Mistake #1: Created Channel But Don’t Post Regularly

Problem: 67% of new channels post less than once per week. Telegram algorithm reduces visibility of such channels in search.

Solution:

• 📅 Minimum 3-5 posts per week
• 🤖 Use automation (TGADM.IN)
• 📚 Create content plan for month ahead

Mistake #2: No Clear Niche and Positioning

Problem: A channel “about everything” is interesting to no one. People subscribe to specific topics.

Bad: “My personal blog” (about what?)
Good: “Marketing for Small Business: Cases and Tools”

Mistake #3: Buying Bots and Fake Subscribers

Problem: Bots don’t read posts, don’t react, don’t buy. Statistics are dead, engagement rate drops to 0.1%.

Consequences:

• ❌ Telegram may block channel for fake engagement
• ❌ Real advertisers see dead audience
• ❌ Algorithm downgrades channel in results

Solution: Only organic growth + quality advertising in real channels.

Mistake #4: Ignoring Analytics

Problem: Publishing content randomly without analyzing what works and what doesn’t.

What to Track:

Metric	Normal Range	What It Means
Reach (Views)	40-60% of subscribers	How many saw the post
Engagement Rate	5-10%	Reactions + comments
Reading Time	30+ seconds	Whether they read to end
Forwards	1-3%	Content virality

Mistake #5: No Calls to Action (CTA)

Problem: Publishing content without CTAs — audience stays passive.

Examples of Effective CTAs:

• ❤️ “React if useful”
• 📤 “Forward to a friend who might find this interesting”
• 💬 “Write in comments about your experience”
• 🔔 “Enable notifications so you don’t miss updates”
• 🔗 “Click the link to learn more”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I Create a Telegram Channel Without Phone Number?

No, phone number is required for Telegram registration. This is a security requirement. But after creating account, the number can be hidden in privacy settings.

How Much Does Creating and Running a Channel Cost?

Creating a channel in Telegram is completely free. No hidden fees. Costs may include:

• 🤖 Automation (TGADM.IN has free plan to start)
• 🎨 Design (if ordering from designer)
• 📢 Advertising (optional, for fast growth)

What’s the Optimal Posting Frequency?

Channel Type	Recommended Frequency
News/Media	5-10 times/day
Educational Content	1-2 times/day
Personal Blog	3-5 times/week
Business/E-commerce	2-3 times/day

Golden Rule: Better rarely but quality than often and mediocre.

Can I Change Channel Name After Creation?

Yes, name can be changed unlimited times. Name doesn’t affect subscribers — they remain.

How to Change: Channel Settings → Edit → Change Name → Save

Can I Change @username After Creation?

Yes, username can be changed. But: old link will stop working. If someone shared old link — it will show “channel not found”.

How Many Subscribers Needed for Monetization?

Subscriber Count	Monetization Options	Expected Income
500-1000	Affiliate programs, small sales	Starting income

5000-20000	Regular advertising + sales	Good income
20000+	Commercial deals, sponsorship	Premium income

Do I Need Technical Knowledge to Create a Channel?

No, creating a channel requires no technical skills. It’s simpler than creating a Facebook profile. The entire process takes 5-10 minutes.

Technical knowledge may be needed only for:

• Creating own bot from scratch (but not necessary)
• API integration (if not using TGADM.IN)

How to Protect Channel from Hacking?

5 Security Rules:

1. 🔐 Two-factor authentication: Telegram Settings → Privacy → Two-Step Verification
2. 🤖 Bot token security: Never publish tokens in public chats
3. 👥 Limited admin rights: Don’t give full rights without need
4. 📧 Unique password: Don’t use same password as other services
5. ⚠️ Admin verification: Regularly review admin list
