Telegram bot promotion without a budget?

Question

Marketing

Hello!
I made a telegram bot for learning English words. I am looking for first users to see how the bot will behave and understand what needs to be improved. I tried to talk about the bot by posting it on the telegram bot catalog website. I also posted a message in a chat where people share their bots and ideas (there were about 4 thousand people there). These actions brought very few users.
Tell me how you can attract the first users without any budget?

Answer 1

Try to somehow post ads on tiktok, if it gets into the recommendations, then maybe a couple of hundred people will use the bot.
(not effective)

Answer 2

Through tiktok without ads, you can try to shoot videos about the English language. But this is roulette.
You can try to find collections in the spirit of "how to quickly learn English words" (or language), contact the authors to include links to your bot in the materials, because it is so useful.
Also try to look into the chats of those who are studying the language.
Roughly speaking, think about what your audience is looking for and where it lives)
