General
iMe Messenger has designed a new service with the application of an internal coin - AiCoin. This is the creation of iMe Ads advertising campaigns to promote Telegram channels and groups.
The two-sided iMe Ads service with direct user monetization from advertisers renews the sphere of advertising for all participants. The universal AiCoin tool undertakes all the complexities of processing and allows to make transactions easily, quickly, and safely.
Telegram channels or groups’ administrators can increase the number of subscribers by creating iMe Ads advertising campaigns.
Currently, the iMe Ads service is available only for Android in iMe Messenger.
iMe Ads operation principle:
• An Advertiser pays AiCoin for a specific number of new subscribers.
• Users who have subscribed to a source and continue to follow it for at least 7 days receive a reward in AiCoin.
• The source is added to our Telegram channels and groups Collection automatically, providing additional conversion.
These are fair and mutually beneficial terms for all members of iMe Ads!
The creation of an ad campaign
The process of creating advertising campaigns is very native in the app interface and requires no further explanation. However, we are going to describe this process in more detail.
How it works
An advertiser goes to the iMe Wallet in the “Spend” section and selects the "Get more subscribers!" slide.
To create a campaign, you need to do the following steps:
• Enter the Username of the public channel or group (Your username profile must contain a description and icon/logo. Otherwise, the Telegram API will not be able to interact with this resource).
• Add @ iMeWalletBot as an administrator to the channel or group and give it the permission for using one of the features, such as "Invitation Links." (It is required to maintain statistics on new subscribers during the campaign).
• Select a category that suits your channel or group best from the list. (Select “Other” if none of the categories is suitable.)
• Select the country. (It is necessary for our channels and groups Collection that is sorted by countries and categories. Take into consideration the language of your source’s content).
• Specify the number of new subscribers you want to attract. (No less than 100 subscribers.)
• Ad campaign budget in AiCoin. (It is defined automatically according to the specified number of subscribers at the rate of 1 subscriber = 10 AiCoin.)
After all necessary data is entered, press the "ADD" button and the service will check for possible errors automatically. If there are no errors, the advertising campaign is sent to moderation that lasts no more than 2 days.
The ad campaign budget is discounted from your balance as soon as the resource is sent for moderation.
Moderation
Resources are moderated by iMe Ads administrators before and after the launch of the ad campaign. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the content posted in the resource.
After the advertising campaign is checked, the user who has placed the advertising campaign and paid for it from his or her ID will receive a push-notification about the positive or negative status of moderation.
You can receive the negative status if your resource refers to the dissemination of negative information such as pornography, terrorism, offending the feelings of believers, calls for violence, etc.
If your resource does not pass moderation, the funds paid for the advertising campaign are returned proactively.
If you get the positive status after moderation, your resource automatically appears in the “Earn” section in the iMe Wallet where it is available for users as a task.
In addition, your resource appears in our Collection where users search for relevant channels or groups by categories and countries. That is why, when creating an ad campaign, it is important to specify the correct category and country suitable for your resource.
After the advertising campaign is over, the channel or group remains in the iMe Collection for 60 days. To extend the period of placement of your resource in the Collection, you need to create a new ad campaign.
Once an ad campaign is launched, there is no possibility of its early termination.
Tasks for users
Active iMe Ads campaigns are available for users as tasks for which they receive an AiCoin reward.
Users go to the iMe Wallet in the “Earn” section, then choose the slide "Channels and Groups!".
Users see only the tasks from channels and groups which they aren’t subscribed to.
Users who subscribe to a channel or group through a task will receive the 7 AiCoin award in 7 days unless they unsubscribe from the source during that time.
When the award is credited, the user will receive a push-notification in the iMe Wallet.
Audience
The iMe Messenger audience is constantly growing and relates to Telegram users. We don't use private data for targeted ads in iMe Ads campaigns.
It is impossible to implement a targeted service on the Telegram platform because user data is hidden, or more precisely, there isn’t almost any. Unlike Facebook, Instagram, and other services, Telegram/iMe does not have user data (gender, age, location, hobbies, etc.) that is usually used to impose measured advertising. It is an obvious and significant advantage for users but it may seem like a disadvantage for advertisers.
However, we all understand that the old type of persuasive ad based on user data doesn’t work as it worked 10 years ago anymore. Such advertising only annoys users, they dismiss it and continue to bear it only because there are no other alternative services where there is no advertising and user data is not used without their permission and at no charge. In fact, users pay services for the use of their data and viewing ads.
Advertising campaigns in iMe Messenger do not have a targeted basis. Advertising does not appear in front of users out of thin air, interfere with chats, and impose goods or services.
This provides an advertiser with getting a new audience that isn’t annoyed by ads, and, for iMe Ads users, it gives the opportunity not only to earn money but also to find new interesting resources.
Of course, users can unsubscribe from resources after the advertising campaign is over, but admins have time to capture the new audience with good and interesting content.
All subscribers are real users, and there is no possibility to cheat with bot subscribers because to participate in iMe Ads campaigns, it is necessary to have an activated Wallet linked to Telegram ID.
Statistics
In iMe Wallet, you can view the statistics of active and completed ad campaigns.
You can also check what resources are still at the stage of moderation.
The section of statistics is in the iMe Wallet settings and shows data on subscribers and the budget application.
