Ad Box: a Telegram bot that turns any link into a link that earns money
Ad Box is a Telegram bot I built so people can earn from the links they already share. You send it any link (a channel post, a file, a website) and it gives you a new one. When someone opens the new link they watch a short ad, then land on the original link, and the ad earnings go to your balance.
How does Ad Box work?
- Open @link2ad_bot and tap Start
- Send it any link in the private chat, or use /create
- It replies right away with a new Ad Box link
- Share that link wherever you like: your channel, a group, your website, social media
- A visitor who opens it watches a short ad, then goes on to the original link, and you earn from the ad
No channel, no group, no setup. One link is enough to start.
What does a visitor see?
A short page inside Telegram asks them to watch one ad to continue. After the ad they go straight to the destination, with a button in case the link doesn’t open on its own. If no ad is available for that visitor, they go straight through with no ad.
What’s in the dashboard?
The dashboard opens inside Telegram from its button or /dashboard:
- Overview: today’s estimated earnings, total earnings and the available balance
- Links: every link you made, to copy, pause or delete. A paused or deleted link takes nobody anywhere and earns nothing
- Statistics: earnings and views by day, for each ad network
- Balance: what you can withdraw, and your withdrawal history
- Platforms: which ad networks your visitors see, and in what order
- Settings: ad mode and the daily report
Two numbers in the statistics mean different things. Visits count every time someone opened one of your links. Views count the visits where an ad was shown and counted. Only views earn.
Where does the money come from?
Ad Box shows ads from two networks, and you choose what your visitors see:
- AdsGram: the main source of earnings, on from the start
- Monetag: an extra network, off until you turn it on
With both on, you pick how they work together:
- Second as backup: visitors see an ad from the first network, and the second shows only when the first has no ad for them. It earns more than one network alone and still shows one ad per visit
- Both together: visitors see one ad from each network, then go on. It earns the most, but every visitor sees two ads
Monetag ads come in two kinds: a calm ad inside the page that the visitor closes after a few seconds, and an advertiser page that opens the advertiser’s site when tapped, then brings the visitor back. The second earns more and annoys more.
Which settings should you choose?
- If your followers’ comfort comes first: AdsGram alone, or both with the second as backup
- If you want more and your followers are used to ads: both together, with the advertiser page for Monetag
- If you’re not sure: turn Monetag on as a backup with the calm ad, and check Statistics after a few days
The ad mode setting is either one ad on every view, which earns more, or one ad per day, where a visitor who already saw an ad on that same link today goes straight through. The day starts at midnight UTC.
When can you withdraw your earnings?
Today’s earnings in the dashboard are an estimate. They become final and move to your withdrawable balance when the day ends at midnight UTC. Both networks add to the same balance. Turn on the daily report and the bot sends you your numbers every day.
There is no fixed amount you will earn: it depends on how many people open your links and on the advertisers, and it changes from day to day. The Statistics page shows your price per 1,000 views. When it drops, it usually means ads were cheaper that day, not that something is wrong with your link.
How do you withdraw?
- Open Balance in the dashboard, or send /withdraw to @link2ad_bot
- Enter the amount in dollars
- Choose the network: BEP20, TON or Solana
- Send your wallet address on that network
- The bot shows the minimum, any fee and exactly what you will receive, and you confirm
Withdrawals are paid in USDT only. Check the network and address carefully, since the wrong network can lose the money, and never share a password, recovery phrase or private key with anyone.
What isn’t allowed?
Ad Box does not allow fake visits, bots, paying people to open links, or opening your own links over and over. Any of these gets the account banned and its earnings removed. You can block specific visitors from your links with /ban, /unban and /banned.
Can you use it from a group with Sawa?
Yes. In any group with Sawa, the games bot, send /shorten with a link, or reply with /shorten to a message that is just a link, and Sawa replies with a new Ad Box link in your name.

Questions
How can I make money from sharing links on Telegram?
Send the link to @link2ad_bot and it gives you a new one. Share the new link, and every time someone opens it and watches the ad, earnings are added to your Ad Box balance.
Do I need a channel or group to use Ad Box?
No. Sending one link to the bot is enough to start, and you can share the new link anywhere.
How much do I earn per 1,000 views?
There is no fixed rate. Earnings depend on your visitors and on the advertisers, and change every day. The Statistics page shows your price per 1,000 views.
How do I withdraw from Ad Box?
From the Balance page or /withdraw. Withdrawals are paid in USDT on BEP20, TON or Solana, and the bot shows the minimum, any fee and the exact amount you will receive before you confirm.
Will it annoy my followers with ads?
A visitor normally sees one short ad. With the "one ad per day" mode, someone who already saw an ad on that link today goes straight through next time.
