How to avoid clickbait when writing advertising posts in Telegram

Make direct appeals to your target audience

When a promotional post begins by addressing a specific audience, it immediately grabs attention and makes the message more personal. In my practice this has always brought good results.

For example, I used the following wording:

• 💃🏼 "Shopping lovers, this is for you!"
• 🎮 "Gamers, don't miss this new product!"
• 👩👧👦 "Parents, do you have everything you need for the winter season?"

Such headlines help to immediately filter out non-target users and attract those who are truly interested in the offer. For example, I tested this strategy for an online electronics store, and my Telegram audience not only increased engagement, but also the number of purchases increased by 20%.

Start by identifying the audience's pain points

At the beginning of the post I always try to identify a problem that my target audience may face. This works very effectively when you want to draw attention to an offer. For example:

• ❓ “Do you know why 75% of people cannot learn a new language quickly?”
• 📉 "TOP 10 mistakes that small business owners make"
• 🛠 "What problems arise when setting up advertising in Telegram?"

Numbers, questions and statistics grab your attention and encourage you to read the post to the end. When I did an ad campaign for a language school, starting with facts about the difficulties of learning a new language significantly increased engagement and conversion.

Use bait words

Depending on the niche , there are certain words that significantly increase interest in a post. In my practice, I often use words such as:

• 📈 "TOP 5 ways to increase sales this fall"
• 🌟 "The new thing everyone is talking about!"
• 🎁 "Free selection of the best products of the season"

Additionally, I highlight important words in bold and add emojis to make the post more attractive. This technique works great, especially when you need to quickly grab the attention of users on Telegram.

Display a commercial offer in the title

A good title should be short and to the point. Experience shows that Telegram users often read only headlines, so it is important that they immediately contain the essence of the proposal and a call to action. For example:

• 📢 "30% discount on all courses today only!"
• 🛒 "Free delivery for orders over 10 euros"
• ✈️ "Get a bonus trip when purchasing a ticket"

Simplicity and brevity make the headline not only clear, but also effective. When I set up an advertising campaign for online courses, this approach helped significantly increase click-through rates and subscriptions.

Review and tips

So, based on my experience, I can confidently say that avoiding clickbait, speaking to your target audience, identifying their pain points, using clickbait words, and clearly displaying your sales pitch in the headline are proven strategies that work.

These practices helped me successfully promote businesses on Telegram and increase their reach and engagement. I highly recommend you use them in your campaigns.

How to structure an advertising post to promote your business in Telegram

When I was faced with creating advertising posts for Telegram, I understood the importance of structuring the text so that it was easily digestible and understandable for readers. I noticed that long texts without formatting do not attract attention and do not interest the user. To structure posts, I always use several effective techniques that I want to recommend to you.

First, it is important to use lists and highlight the main points and benefits. Adding emoji 🌟 or other markers 🎯 helps highlight key points, making the text more lively and eye-catching. For example, I often use numbering or bullets to break up text into easily digestible pieces.

Secondly, each post should consist of 2-3 paragraphs, each of which contains a certain meaning. This helps break down information into logical blocks and hold the reader's attention. Highlight important points in bold font or italics.

I also recommend using visual elements to further attract attention. Pictures and GIF animations help make text more expressive and attractive.

For example, I once created a post for an online store in which I used lists to highlight benefits: fast delivery, discounts and updated assortment. This attracted more users and increased conversions.

Determining the optimal volume of an advertising post

When I started writing advertising posts for Telegram, I quickly realized that the length of a text plays a critical role in its perception. Long posts are rarely read to the end, especially if they begin with a sales call to action. I found the optimal post length to be 500-1000 characters - this turned out to be effective because this length allows you to convey the essence and retain attention.

For example, if a post starts with a question, I divide the material into two parts: in the first I reveal the essence, and in the second I appeal to the reader to visit the channel or website. This helps maintain intrigue and motivate action.

When I wrote a post to promote online courses, I used this approach, which resulted in an increase in followers and engagement.

Organizing information in this way allows you to focus on one main idea without overwhelming your readers with details.

How to give gifts in advertising posts

🎁 I am convinced that bonuses and gifts can significantly increase the effectiveness of an advertising post on Telegram. When I first implemented this strategy, I offered a free checklist for subscribing to the channel. The result was amazing: new users willingly signed up to receive the bonus.

Promo codes or discounts on your first order work especially well. It is important to place the benefit in the middle of the post so that most readers will see it.

Once, for an online store, I offered a discount to the first 100 subscribers. This created a stir and a rapid increase in subscriptions.

I recommend you consider limited offers to encourage artificial scarcity.

Usage complementary content for visualization

🖼️ In my projects, I often use visual elements to make advertising posts more attractive. GIFs, short videos, and infographics all help increase engagement. In my opinion, inserting additional images with infographics is especially effective.

For example, I posted an infographic with prices and product features in one post, which increased user interest and engagement.

In one of the projects, for the marketplace, I added a comic that clearly showed the advantages of the product. This generated positive feedback and increased the number of clicks to the site.

Don't reveal all your cards at once; It’s better to provide some information and intrigue users for further interaction.

How to highlight benefits

🔍 I have always believed that highlighting benefits is the key to successfully promoting a business. It's important to highlight the real strengths of your product or service. For example, I told clients about low prices, justifying the reasons and the company’s experience.

Once I helped an online store tell about its history and unique offers. This not only increased confidence, but also attracted new customers.

The main thing is to avoid open comparison with competitors and Focus on the unique aspects of your offer.

The Importance of a Compelling Call to Action

Fragmentation: Persuade, Not ask

I can confidently say that the final call to action is the key element in any advertising post. Personally, I have experienced this in practice when using compelling language to motivate your audience to take action. Among the effective commands: “Subscribe”, “Join”, “Visit us right now”, “Don’t miss your chance”.

These phrases work better than generic, generic calls to action. They will immediately attract the attention of users who are prone to doubts and direct them to make a decision.

❓ How can you make your appeal even more convincing? I would recommend supplementing it with a promise of additional benefits, for example, you can provide more useful information via a link or give the opportunity to download a free checklist. This approach will reduce the likelihood of the call being perceived as clickbait.

"Don't miss the opportunity to get a free consultation, sign up now and get a bonus!"

Thus, by ending the post with a strong appeal, I successfully attracted more audiences and increased their engagement.

Unique offer

Attracting attention through the use of exclusivity

I firmly believe that creating a unique proposals on your channel will be the key to its success. When I announced exclusive news for subscribers only, it created a wave of interest. For example, I indicated that access to the channel will only be open for a few days, and newcomers will receive a welcome bonus.

This increased the number of clicks and increased the number of subscribers by at least 20%.

💡 How can this be applied? One of the projects I led included a newsletter about hot sales that were closed to the public. This created excitement and kept people on the channel waiting for new offers.

"Discover the world of unique offers from our channel. Only today access is open to everyone! Join and get a bonus."

So, by crafting the offer with a sense of exclusivity, I was able to increase audience engagement and loyalty.

Make user-friendly buttons and clickable links

User experience comes first

In my opinion, User convenience is one of the most important aspects. When I implemented buttons using ControllerBot and BotFather , made the links clickable, and styled them with emoji, it greatly improved the user experience.

* 📌 Here's how to do it:

1. 🚀 Add buttons to go to the channel or finish reading the content.
2. 🔗 Use clickable links with emoji pointers to highlight them.

3. ️⃣ Add 2-3 relevant hashtags to each post for quick search.

🎉 For example, in one of the posts I added buttons leading to detailed information, and this significantly increased the number of clicks .

"Don't forget to subscribe to our channel for all the updates! 🔥 #news #sales #exclusive"

Implementing these simple but effective methods has helped clients and subscribers on my projects easily interact with content.

The ability to convincingly end promotional posts, create exclusive offers, and provide a seamless user experience are key steps to the success of your Telegram marketing campaign.

What to pay attention to in order to increase the effectiveness of advertising posts in Telegram

Choose the right style for advertising

When I started posting advertising materials on third-party channels on Telegram, I quickly realized that style matters a lot. 🌟 For example, if the channel is known for its jokes and irony, a strict and serious post will look foreign and will not attract the attention of the audience. I remember once posting a post in this style on an entertainment channel, and the result was extremely disappointing - most readers simply ignored it.

📌 To avoid such mistakes, I advise you the following:

• 🎨 Adapt the style: If you don't have experience with another channel's style, trust them to write the material to the authors. This will ensure a harmonious flow of your advertising into the overall flow of content.
• 🗣 Use slang and language familiar to the audience: For example, if the channel is famous for specific jokes, your advertising should also be in the same style for maximum efficiency.

Check content before posting

Never neglect to check content before posting it. ❌ Errors in the text can be a disaster, scaring off potential subscribers. In my practice, there was a case when, due to a trivial typo, a post looked unprofessional, and this led to a drop in engagement.

📌 Here's what I recommend:

• 🔍 Proofread text several times: Eliminating typos and grammatical errors is the minimum step required.
• 🎯 Make the text readable: Break large paragraphs into smaller ones, a sentence of 7-10 words looks optimal. Avoid long adverbial phrases and banal phrases. For example, instead of “everyone knows,” use specific facts or data.
• 🌟 Short and to the point: A short and inspiring post leads to better results. In my experience, short posts with a clear call to action have always shown the best results.

With simple steps you can significantly improve your advertising performance posts For example, I tested my copy several times before launching, which significantly increased click-through rates and engagement.

📋 Memo:

✅ What to do:

• Proofread the text several times.
• Divide large text into paragraphs.
• Eliminate cliched phrases and participles.

❌ What to avoid:

• Posting text without checking .
• Use of long and complex sentences.
• Applications of multiple repetitions.

Open a channel for the duration of the campaign

Exclusivity is good, but users don't like closed channels where they have to wait for confirmation. When I was running advertising campaigns for one of my clients, we decided to temporarily open access to the channel. This solution brought great results: new visitors were able to get acquainted with the content, ask questions and decide whether to subscribe.

📌 What I recommend:

• 🚀 Open a channel: Make it available to new users for the duration of the campaign. This will help them decide to subscribe faster. Personally, I have had experiences where open access resulted in a significant increase in subscribers.
• 🌐 Use intermediate free channels: The tactic I used was to redirect users from a free channel to a paid subscription. This helped attract more attention and increase engagement.

Keeping your channel strategy open for the duration of your campaign allows users to more actively engage with your content and make decisions based on what they see.

📋 Memo:

✅ What to do:

• Open access to the channel for the duration of the advertising campaign.
• Attract users through free channels.

❌ What to avoid:

• Closed channels with long confirmation process.
• Secrecy, depriving the audience of the opportunity to get acquainted with the content.

Using these practices has significantly improved the effectiveness of my Telegram advertising posts, and I'm sure they will help you too.

Focus on the tastes and style of the channel

When I I started creating advertising posts on Telegram for promoted projects, I realized: loud headlines and promises that have no basis often repel the audience. I can confidently say that the right approach is to abandon such headlines and instead focus on the style of the channel and the established tastes of the audience.

How I adapted the content to the channel audience

One of my projects to promote an online clothing store was an excellent example of this approach. In the beginning, I created various posts, each of which dealt with one specific topic. This allowed users to focus on the most important information, such as the best prices and free shipping.

Tips to avoid big headlines:

• 🎯 Focus on the style of the channel.
• 📋 Conduct an analysis of audience interests.
• 🌐 Use appropriate emojis and images.
• 📌 Present the material in a structured and concise manner.

The importance of analyzing results and choosing formats

After completing the first advertising campaign, I conducted a thorough analyzing the results of each post to determine the most workable format. This allowed me to highlight the posts that generated the most engagement and interest. Based on this, I adjusted my strategy, abandoning methods that did not live up to expectations.

Strategies I used:

• 🧩 Publication on one topic in one post.
• 📊 Analysis of the success of each post after the campaign.
• 🔄 Format adjustment based on received data.

Real examples and concrete results

When I was promoting the services of a legal consulting company, I used all of these methods. Experience has shown that users value clarity and information content. As a result, we increased channel traffic by 30% and increased the number of requests for consultations by 25%.

Example: We offered a free case evaluation, which coincided with the interests of the audience targeted to find legal assistance at no additional cost.

Review of useful practices and tips for their application

I am convinced that following these principles and tips will make your advertising posts Telegram more successful and attractive to the target audience.
