If you've recently paid attention to cryptocurrency or forex ads on social media, you might have noticed a seemingly simple yet surprisingly effective promotion model: clicking an ad directly redirects you to a Telegram group, promising "trading signals" or "VIP services." This approach isn't traditional affiliate marketing; instead, it's a gray-area tactic combining ad spending, community management, and multi-level monetization.
In this article, we'll use a real-world case study to break down the operational flow of "earning $11,000 in affiliate commissions within weeks" to help you understand its underlying logic. At the same time, we must state: this model carries compliance risks. This article is for educational purposes only; do not blindly imitate.
The profitability of this promotion model doesn't stem from a single channel but from earning money from three directions simultaneously:
Compared to platforms like Facebook and Instagram, Telegram offers the following advantages:
Here are the specific steps of the case study, integrating ad placement, landing pages, community management, and monetization strategies.
Ad content is usually very simple, with the core goal being to stimulate user curiosity, for example:
"Profit easily with my signals! Join our Telegram group for real-time trading strategies."
Creative Characteristics:
After users click the ad, they are not directly sent to Telegram. Instead, they are first redirected to a temporary domain (e.g., bigbosstradesdo.space).
The purpose of this page:
Through this method, promoters can:
Once users reach Telegram, they will see an auto-reply bot (like Invite Member Bot). The process is as follows:
At this point, the promoter has acquired two assets simultaneously:
After users join the group, promoters generate revenue through the following methods:
Insert exchange recommendation links in group announcements or welcome messages, such as:
"We recommend using MEXC exchange; it has low fees and supports contract trading. Register through my link for exclusive benefits!"
After users register and deposit funds, the promoter receives CPA commissions.
Some users will trade frequently (especially futures/contracts). Promoters can continuously earn a percentage of their trading fees. If the group has hundreds of active traders, this income could reach tens of thousands of dollars per month.
Regularly send out "free signals" in the group while hinting:
"Want early access to signals? Join our VIP membership for just $500/month."
Even if only 5%–10% of users purchase, the revenue is substantial.
Since the Meta Ads platform does not support direct tracking of user behavior within Telegram, promoters employ the following workaround:
bigbosstradesdo.space).While this method cannot track specific user actions within Telegram (like purchasing VIP membership), it accurately measures how many people actually entered Telegram.
Based on case study data, the cost per acquired contact is approximately $1–$2. If the conversion rate reaches 5% (meaning 5 out of every 100 people purchase VIP or register on an exchange), a single campaign can achieve a positive ROI.
Although this strategy generated considerable short-term income, the promoters in the case study eventually chose to stop. The main reasons are twofold:
The operational logic of most "trading signal groups" is as follows:
Furthermore, some promoters even have agreements with exchanges to earn 20% of user losses in addition to fee rebates. This model of "profiting from member losses" is clearly not aligned with long-term values.
The Meta Ads platform has strict scrutiny for high-risk products like cryptocurrency and forex. Promoters need to frequently replace:
This "hit and run" operational mode, while effective in the short term, incurs extremely high long-term maintenance costs.
If you wish to experiment with similar strategies (but please ensure they are legal and compliant), MasLogin can assist in the following aspects:
Due to Meta's strict restrictions on cryptocurrency ads, promoters typically need to run multiple ad accounts simultaneously. MasLogin's multi-account environment isolation feature can:
When managing multiple Telegram groups or bots, MasLogin supports:
If you operate projects with team members, MasLogin's permission management feature can:
Because the Meta Ads platform reviews the destination URLs of ads. If a Telegram link is used directly, the ad may be rejected. Using temporary domains (with suffixes like .space or .xyz) allows you to:
You can use the official Bot API provided by Telegram or leverage third-party tools (like Invite Member Bot). Once welcome messages, button redirects, and other functions are configured, users clicking "Start" will trigger the automated process.
It requires a certain level of technical expertise and startup capital. You will need to:
