Group

When I started a channel about freelancing and remote work, I had doubts for a long time at first. I looked at the numbers and it seemed that no one was interested, and then I realized that it was not about the content, but about perception. People come in, see a small number of subscribers and just don’t stay — they don’t even read the posts. It’s like social proof: if there are only 30 people here, then there’s probably nothing to catch here. That’s why I eventually decided to try buy telegram group members, but very carefully. I used SMM-World three months ago — I took the minimum package, I think 500 subscribers with filtering by the CIS. I liked that they gave a choice: you can take “live” ones, or a “mix”, depending on the goals. I chose those who were as close to live as possible, and in the end, about 80% remained in the channel a month later. Yes, their activity was minimal, but there were almost no dropouts. The most important thing is that it gave an effect: organic traffic became more active. People started subscribing without advertising. It's as if trust in the channel has grown. The only thing is to understand that "live subscribers" do not mean that they will write to you in the comments and throw reactions every day. These are just real accounts, not dummies. And also - immediately set the mindset in your head that this is a starting boost, and not the basis of your promotion. Continue to make content, collaborate with other channels, launch giveaways - all this together works much better.
