How to Increase Post Views in a Telegram Channel

Telegram has no algorithmic feed: a post is seen by those who open your channel. So views depend on how used to reading you people are. If views are falling, subscribers have either left or stopped opening the channel. Here is how to fix it.

Why views drop

• Too many posts. A channel that posts 15 times a day gets muted or archived by people.
• Irregularity. A week of silence, then 10 posts: part of the audience has already forgotten about you.
• Uninteresting topics. Posts that don't match expectations are a reason to unsubscribe.
• Too many ads. When every third post is an ad, readers lose interest.
• "Dead" subscribers from ads or low-quality sources.

12 ways to increase views

1. A steady rhythm. 1-3 posts a day at the same time.
2. Posting time, based on your channel statistics, usually the evening. Read more in the article on the best time to post.
3. A strong first line. The chat list shows only the beginning of a post, so it has to hook.
4. Short posts. Split long texts into parts or move them to Telegraph.
5. Reactions. Turn on reactions: they show what people like and boost engagement.
6. Polls. Once every few days, a quick way to "wake up" your audience.
7. Useful roundups that get forwarded to friends, which brings new readers to the channel.
8. A pinned navigation post with the main topics.
9. No more than one ad post per 4-5 regular ones.
10. Cross-promotion with channels of a similar topic and size.
11. Ads in niche channels: check the views-to-subscribers ratio of the seller's channel.
12. Discussions (the channel chat): comments under posts bring people back to the channel.

Does promoting views help

A new channel with a hundred views per post looks inactive, and people are reluctant to subscribe from ads. Post views and reactions help the channel look alive while a real audience grows. And auto-views are added to every new post on their own.

How to check subscriber quality

If a channel has 5,000 subscribers but only 200 views, part of the audience is inactive. Check where they came from, and stop advertising in channels that gave you "dead" subscribers.
