Muting is silent and permanent
Nobody tells you they muted your channel. They just stop being reachable, and every future broadcast goes to a smaller real audience than the number suggests.
Which means the cost of a weak broadcast is not zero. It is the next good one.
One message, one thing
A restock. A new drop. A cut-off time. If a broadcast has three topics, readers finish none of them, and the one that mattered gets lost between the other two.
Time it for people, not for you
An audience spread across countries has no single good hour, but there is usually a bad one. Scheduling exists so a message written at midnight does not arrive at midnight.
Say what happens next
The broadcast that works ends with something to tap: the shop, the product, the booking. In Telegram that is one tap away, which is the entire advantage over email.
What you need
Broadcasts and auto-funnels are part of the Pro plan at $39 a month, along with advanced analytics and the AI features. The free plan runs moderation, captcha and welcomes, which is what a channel needs before it needs broadcasting.
