The client runs an English-language Telegram channel about memecoin pumps: early calls on tokens.

Task: bring in subscribers for less than $1 each. Before us, a subscriber cost $2 and moderation kept rejecting the ads.

What went wrong and how we fixed it

1. An expensive start: $2.34 per subscriber

Problem
At first we advertised the channel directly. In week one we looked for the channels where the memecoin audience lives, and a subscriber cost $2.34.
Solution
We picked channels with SPY services and our AI selection tool. Every channel ran as its own campaign, and we switched off the ones that did not convert. A week later a subscriber cost $0.74.
$2.34 at the start1 channel = 1 campaign$0.74 a week later

2. A wide channel pack brought clicks, not subscribers

Problem
A campaign on 80 channels got 131,827 impressions and 11,370 clicks, but only 94 subscriptions. A subscriber cost €2.80.
Solution
We built packs of 25 and 55 channels, using only the ones that did well in testing. There, 25–28% of clicks turned into subscriptions, and a subscriber cost €0.71–0.88.

3. Moderation started rejecting the channel's ads

Problem
On April 16, moderation rejected all 193 of the channel's ads in the TON account in a single day. In the EUR account it rejected one new ad in four.
Solution
We built a funnel: the ad leads to a bot, and the bot leads to the channel. We ran it on the same packs of the best channels. Up to 36–54% of clicks entered the funnel, at €0.34–0.55 per entry.
