Earn with affiliate programs
What it is
Some Mini Apps and bots that sell for Stars pay you for bringing users. Join a program and you get a referral link: anyone who first opens the app through it earns you a set share of every Star they spend there for the program's period, sometimes forever. Users and channels can join any number of programs.
How to do it
- Open Settings › My Stars › Earn Stars and sort by Date, Revenue or Profitability.
- Tap a program › Join Program, and choose where commissions go: your account, your channel or your Mini App.
- Copy Link and share it in posts, stories, social media or as a QR code.
- Track people and Stars in Earn Stars › My Programs.
- To quit, press and hold the program › Leave; the link stops working.
Watch out
- Commissions are locked for 21 days and expire after 3 years; a refunded purchase can cost you its commission.
- Stars can't move between balances; for another balance, make a new link.
- Spamming the link to strangers or public groups can limit your account and cost you commissions.
- Physical goods paid through payment providers earn nothing.
- If a program ends, links stop in about 24 hours; users you already brought pay commission until their period ends.
With Gem
Gem doesn't join Telegram's affiliate programs; it has its own. In /myprojects → Partners you describe a program in words: Stars for actions of the people a partner brings (finishing the welcome, joining the channel, paying), with a cap and a hold period. Partners get links and campaigns in /partner, counted honestly: first link, once per action, refunds void it.
