Channel and group owners want visibility, and a directory with steady traffic can sell it. The Featured Listings extension in TGGroups lets members choose a plan for one of their links, send you a payment reference and wait for your approval. Featured time ends by itself.
Start with three plans
A short, a medium and a long plan cover most buyers — for example 7, 30 and 90 days. Price the long plan at a clear discount per day so committed owners choose it. Write the price text exactly as you want it shown, such as "₹499 for 30 days".
Base prices on your traffic
- Look at views and opens on featured links in your statistics after the first month.
- If a featured link gets hundreds of opens a week, owners will happily pay more; raise prices for new requests.
- In a small niche, low prices with fast approval build a habit of buying.
Protect visitor trust
- Featured links carry a clear badge — never hide that a placement is paid.
- Apply the same quality rules as for free links; reject paid requests for links you would not approve anyway.
- Limit how many links are featured at once so the badge keeps its value.
Collecting payments
The extension does not take card payments itself: buyers pay you by UPI, bank transfer or a payment link and enter the reference. Approve the request when the money arrives. Many owners also offer a "featured + channel post" bundle using the Telegram Bot Tools extension to post the link to their own channel.
Combine with ads
Featured listings sell to channel owners; the Ad Manager sells to advertisers. Both can run together — use the "no ads for members" option if you want signed-in members to have a cleaner experience.
