The video details a 12-hour, 2 million ruble Telegram channel promotion campaign for an Exile video, breaking down spending across three traffic sources: paid placements in large public channels, bot-based mandatory subscription methods, and a subscriber giveaway.

00:42[00:00] Я потратил около 2 миллионов рублей за 12 часов, чтобы раскрутить телеграм-канал для ролика Эксайла. И вот как я потратил все эти деньги на три источника трафика. Во-первых, мы закупились посевами. Рекламные креативы в крупных пабликах принесли нам 21 690 подписчиков.
[00:16] А потратили мы на них ровно 927 209 рублей. Итого около 43 рублей за подписчика. Следующий способ оказался куда дешевле. За 951 421 рубль мы привлекли уже 145 860 человек.
[00:30] Да, 6,5 рублей за подписчиков, но все они приходили к нам через ботов с обязательной подпиской. Условно хочешь пользоваться чат G5 в Телеграме? Подпишись на канал. Очевидно, такие подписчики являются куда менее долговечными и целевыми.
[00:42] Ну и третий способ — розыгрыш среди подписчиков. За счет креативного подхода и сарафанного радио он смог принести нам около 7,5 тысяч подписчиков, хоть мы и не потратили на него так много средств. Как итог, мы получили около 166 тысяч подписчиков.
[00:56] Обложили около 1 миллиона 879 тысяч рублей. Дорого ли это? Пишите в комментариях.
