Case study details: challenge with earning money on Telegram games
Our client Andrew P. is an experienced entrepreneur in the gaming industry, recently turning his attention to web applications. Initially, Andrew and his team were planning on developing a casual web game based on ‘match-three’ mechanics. With the sudden rise of Telegram Mini Apps and money earning games, they decided to follow the hot trend and made a tap-to-earn clicker. The point was allowing users to tap a few times per day, increasing engagement and regular involvement rate.
After the launch, Andrew and his team worked on promoting the app with paid motivated traffic and various referral programs so users could invite friends. By the time their app was on for over 5 months, it reached about 1 million users monthly. The team was considering monetizing the project to reinvest the money on promotion, including the in-app advertisement placements. But almost all of the options implied severe changes to the interface, time-consuming negotiations with every single advertiser and annoying formats.
Eventually, we at RichAds found Andrew’s app on a listing of top tap games in Telegram and contacted him regarding becoming a publisher for our ad format in Mini Apps. But what could we offer?
Quick overview on how to make money with Telegram games in Mini Apps at RichAds
Recently, at RichAds platform a fresh advertising format was released: native ads in Telegram Mini Apps. It allows marketers to launch advertisements that are shown to users in Mini App windows, hovering above the app window with a small banner consisting of an icon, short title and description, overall looking like in-page notifications. Basically, these ads appear to apps’ users according to set targeting parameters across integrated publishers.
Case study details: solution with Mini App monetization
After exploring the format and some tests run, Andrew agreed to join and we started to gather specifics on the app and ad preferences. Here’s the info we started off with:
- Audience’s regions: globally, but mostly the USA, Germany, CIS (like Ukraine);
- Payout type: per click on ads, the starting point was at ~$0.012;
- Initial goal: reinvesting for paid motivated traffic to promote the app;
- Preferences: all affiliate marketing verticals allowed, except for 18+ content; banner colour adjustment to match the interface; moderate ad frequency (new banner per 8 seconds;
- Approximate duration: up to 1 month, considering mid-term results.
Overviewing the earnings
The first day of full work was very surprising for Andrew: about $257 daily revenue!
Due to the high demand and really good CTR on the ads at Andrew’s app, advertisers began competing for the converting traffic source by raising bids to get prioritised placements. Even though the starting payout per each click was estimated at ~$0.012, it grew quickly.
During the period of being a publisher at RichAds, Andrew was constantly in touch with our manager, discussing the mid-term results and best practices. He shared that while making the money with ads in the Telegram game, Andrew started buying motivated traffic to acquire more audience. Apparently, the cost of motivated traffic were 4-6 times less than he received from the ads, so he managed to quickly acquire +70% in audience!
Soon, the community growth started showing results and the more advertisers competed for ad placements on his tap clicker — the higher the bids were getting — the more he earned daily! During the 28 days, the daily earnings from the ads in the Telegram game were constantly increasing, while the active player acquisition phase started on the 10th day. Eventually, Andrew reached the average payouts of $563 daily, while the overall profit from ads exceeded the motivated traffic expenses by 480%!
Useful information:
At RichAds the payouts to publishers are conducted every two weeks with the minimal withdrawal amount of $10 for online wallets like Capitalist, Payoneer, PayPal, etc. Alternative cash-out options can be discussed with managers.
