that number is almost accurate lol
I think you know better about this.
I would love to know/discuss what aspect that you consider as a good point that enough to make you advertise on those telegram groups.
or do you use any tools to help your research about targeted telegram group?
or do you have a list of good telegram groups?
wait, you supposed to be the one who gets the answers. I am sorry. Haha, yeah that number is pretty accurate
Well, I have been using TG for over 6-7 years by now, and have seen very different sides of it from all types of content and groups that can be possibly imagined, so yes I do know what I am talking about. And after all these years, there's 0 ENG-based groups that I would consider "high quality + original content + throughout analysis". In RUS language there are couple of them... very few, but still can find them. But in ENG it's quite disappointing.
As for research tools there aren't that many actually, but here are few good tips on how to see a good vs. bad group/channel:
1. check the statistics of the channel here:
https://tgstat.com/ (there are other tools too, but they mostly do same thing with nearly same accuracy)
2. if it shows a red mark that group uses unethical marketing - you can skip that channel (it means too many bots there)
3. if you passed 2., you can see the number of post views if it's spiking anywhere or shows irregular behaviours which would mean either actual marketing activity, or purchases of fake views and "members"
4. you check the long-term trend and you can observe either a natural growth, either those spikes I mentioned earlier
5. most reliable channels will have also groups where you can see activity of the users (don't know yet if they are real though)
6. if there's no group supporting the channel - skip it, as they don't want to show low real userbase
7. check the engagement rate (also can see on that website I shared), but be careful as this can be faked too (if admin of the channel is smart enough)
8. check where the channel was mentioned before - if it was mentioned in high quality channels / groups - it was either paid marketing, or the content was really great that someone referred to them; but be careful as most of the times channel owners maintain multiple other related channels to scam more people on ads and to do cross-marketing (so you need to check those in the same way you were checking this one in steps 1-8.
9. if the channel had good real marketing, has a group for the followers, had a natural growth in followers, has a good engagement rate, there's a good chance you found something not too bad already
10. finally check the activity of the group - it's the best indicator after all (yes it can be faked too - there's a software to fake this via bots that can be customized in bulk to make it look like real users, but few admins know about this), if the group is really talking about something meaningful, has a "family" / "friendly" environment among members where people know each other (at least some), respect the admin and closely follow channel updates and discussions - here you go - you probably found either a good channel with a group, or very smart scamy admin
From my experience, 90% of channels will be filtered out before step 10, and the last 9.9999999999999999...9% will be filtered out on step 10 exactly where sometimes you will see group members discussing some bshit, or talking nonsence, or posting spamy content / links / images (I earned XXXXXX $$$ thank you admin, my lord etc
), and with ENG - probably none will be left. Not sure about other languages though.
