How to attract subscribers to the Telegram channel at the initial stage?

Question

Marketing

Hey!
Interested in the following:
How can a young Telegram channel develop at an early stage?
Let's say the channel is designed and it already has some content.
It seems to me that when placing ads on other channels, guests will come in and see the absence of subscribers or an extremely small number, they will not really want to subscribe.
They are more willing to subscribe to rocked channels (imho)
Advertising can not always be effective, maybe someone will share some list of directories in which you can shove a link to the channel.

Answer 1

The first option is to pay for SMM, it attracts the first subscribers and if you work well together, then it will continue to grow the audience
. The second option is friends and friends of Friends), then either spam (IMHO a bad option) or advertising on other channels (including mutual advertising).
But in any case, you must understand that without advertising in other channels or media or public, you will not get good coverage.
