Early in 2023, Soxet tried crypto raffles and spent $70 on a special browser plus proxies, but saw no returns. Then he shifted to paid push ads, lost another $50 when moderators rejected his campaigns. Both methods failed to produce real income, so he paused and looked for a free traffic source.
In March 2023, while scrolling in Telegram, he noticed adult-themed channels ranking via internal search. He created 60 porn channels across 10 accounts, each with dozen TikTok clips and dating affiliate links in descriptions. The channels drove thousands of organic visits thanks to carefully chosen keywords. From March to May, these brought in about $65 total.
In June he added 40 more channels and focused on low-competition, high-volume searches. That month delivered $50. A network switch improved payouts, pushing his monthly affiliate link earnings to $60–$70. One standout channel hit 4,500 subscribers and scored a direct advertiser paying $150 per month, lifting total channel-based income above $200.
Finding channel growth slow, Soxet spent a month learning Python and the Telegram Bot API. He built bots mimicking popular adult model usernames that start private chats, then direct interested users to dating sites. This created a sense of one-on-one interaction, boosting click rates and conversions. Over four months, these bots earned about $3,000, with September hitting a record $1,043.
Free internal search can outperform paid ads when you match keywords to audience intent. Automating interaction via bots multiplies engagement and makes affiliate links feel more personalized. Constant testing—content mix, network partners, and tech—is the fastest path to better returns.
