EPICSTARS Bot for Channels

A channel owner lives by numbers: how many joined today, how many left after an ad, whether reach is growing. An advertiser, in turn, wants to check before buying that the subscribers are not inflated. The EPICSTARS bot is for both. 📊

It is the official bot of the EPICSTARS ad exchange. Its profile describes it simply: it counts subscribers of Telegram channels and sends notifications from the exchange.

What the bot actually does

There are two jobs, and both are clear at once. The bot tracks a channel's subscriber count and delivers notifications from the exchange, so you do not miss orders and messages.

• Counting. Watches subscriber dynamics, including on competitors' channels.
• Notifications. Sends messages from the ad exchange right into Telegram.
• Proof of ownership. Helps link your channel to your account on the exchange.

Connecting your channel

1. Start the bot and send the command to connect a channel.
2. Forward a text post from your channel: an original one, without images, not a repost from someone else's channel.
3. Add the bot as a channel admin. No management rights are needed, its presence is enough.
4. Receive a code and enter it on the exchange side.

A public channel works. Private channels and chats do not fit this check.

Why an advertiser counts subscribers

The price of an ad depends on the audience, and unscrupulous owners sometimes inflate numbers. Steady growth without sharp jumps looks more natural than a leap of ten thousand in a day.

Sudden spikes followed by equally sudden drop-offs often point to padding. Look at the dynamics over weeks, not at a single figure. 🔎

Good habits for a channel admin

• Check numbers after an ad. How many joined and how many remain a week later.
• Do not chase the count. A thousand live readers beat ten thousand bots.
• Watch post reach. It shows real interest better than subscribers.
• Compare with similar channels. That shows if growth is normal for your niche.

Reading the numbers after an ad

Good advertising brings an inflow on the first day, and then part of the people leave. That is normal. It is worrying when more than half of those who came unsubscribe: it means the audience was random.

Write down numbers before placement, a day later and a week later. Three points already show if the purchase paid off. 📈

What an ad exchange is

An exchange is a platform where channel owners post offers and advertisers choose and order posts. It handles search, agreements and part of the checking.

Ask the exchange itself about prices and commission, since they can change. Before a big order, read reviews and request examples of past placements. 💬

Where to ask for help

The bot profile lists a support email. Write there if a channel will not connect or the code does not arrive. Never hand channel owner rights to bots or strangers.
