Telegram Promotion

Telegram has always done things a little differently. While other messaging apps fight for attention with updates, Telegram quietly keeps raising the bar: privacy-first, smooth UX, and features that matter. Now, they've launched something new again: the Boost feature for channels. If you're a creator or a community builder on Telegram, this article is for you.

In a world where everyone’s chasing reach and real-time connection, Telegram’s new Boost option makes it easier to get your content in front of more people — while staying true to the app’s privacy-first vibe.

So, What Is the “Boost Telegram” Feature?

First came Stories for personal accounts. Now, channels can join. To post Stories, channels need votes from their subscribers. Here’s how it works:

  • If you're a Telegram Premium user, you get one vote.
  • You can use that vote to support any channel you like.
  • The more votes a channel gets, the higher its Boost level.
  • Each level unlocks one more Story per day the channel can post.

And it doesn’t stop there. These Stories can include:

  • Reaction stickers 
  • Custom music tracks 
  • One-time view photos & videos 
  • And some extra safety and account notification features too.

Why Boosting Matters

Boosting isn’t just about metrics. When a channel gets Boosted, its content has a better chance of growing (see more strategies here) and showing up for new audiences. Telegram also gives you access to analytics so you can see how your boosted content performs. What’s working? It’s all there — making it easier to plan smarter promotions in the future.

How to Get the Most Out of Boosts

Here’s how to make it count:

  • Promote your best content. Pick posts that represent your channel at its best — what makes it unique?
  • Engage your subscribers. Ask them to use their votes and Boost your channel.
  • Watch the clock. If your audience is global, post when they’re most likely to be online.
  • Stay on the safe side. Make sure your content follows Telegram’s guidelines so your channel stays in good standing.

How to Enable Boosts for Your Channel

Here’s what you need:

  1. Telegram Premium. You (as the channel admin) need an active subscription to be eligible to post Stories.
  2. Subscriber support. Ask your followers to Boost your channel by tapping the “Boost” button on your channel page.
  3. Enough votes. The number of Boosts required depends on your subscriber count — the more subs you have, the more votes you'll need to level up.
  4. Want to make it easy for people to support you? Share a direct Boost link like this: t.me/yourchannel?boost
