2. Don’t ignore in-app purchases
It doesn’t matter which niche your Telegram mini app belongs to, there’s always room to offer more. Especially if your users are really engaged in the topic. For instance, if you own a gaming app, add some paid perks to speed up the process of getting to a new level. You can also apply some locked cool functions for an Utilities app.
Let’s take the GirlsInSyncBot mini app as an example. This TMA offers AI images of beautiful girls and the possibility to chat with them for free. If a user wants to buy their erotic photos, he can pay to get this specific content, as simple as that!
Hint: don’t offer too many features as paid ones, make sure those are really useful. It’s better not to make the price skyrocketing, the less is the price, the more users will actually pay and continue using the app. From $1 to $10 per feature is pretty much acceptable!
3. Offer paid subscriptions
Similar to the previous point, paid or premium subscriptions are a great way to earn more from the app without making it too expensive.
As an idea, you can offer all features for free for like a week, while the full functionality comes on paid subscription upon trial. For instance, let’s take a calorie tracker bot DietologistAI.
This TMA has calorie tracking features as well as recipes, weight and activity analytics for free during a trial period of two weeks. Once it ends, the user has to pay or cancel the subscription. That’s a great monetization idea. The potential client will get used to the convenience of the app, and won’t want to lose the progress or transfer it to another app!
4. Integrate cooperation with other brands
If the topic of your TMA allows, you can mention other brands seamlessly for some specific fee. It’s a great collaboration idea, even if your mini app is small as of now, you can do barter cooperation with other bots, like a cross promotion!
For instance, if your app is aimed at earning, like clickers or tap-to-earn games, you can mention finance management apps, or mention superfood brands in your dietary app, or fitness supplies for an app with exercises, it can be anything related!
Let’s take EdRes app as an example, they offer educational courses on many topics for earning points. They could integrate cooperation with other bots by mentioning them in their articles, like for IELTS preparation they could mention another TMA for learning English/
Hint: integrate the brand mentions as native as possible. Don’t do it in an advertising manner, this way your app will stay useful and the clients will be more loyal!
