First of all, what is a Telegram channel for business?
It is a channel for your own business. You are able to share information, news, and other information with your co-workers or employers there. It is a very practical thing if you want to stay in touch with them all the time in order to make the best project that you can. You are able to make either a private or a public business channel, you can choose whichever you want. The public channel is available to anyone and everyone can see it. While on the other hand, private channels are for the people that only you invite and that can join by one link.
Steps to creating and setting up a Telegram channel for your business
You first need to make an ordinary channel on Telegram and then add other things that we are going to show you. So, start by making a basic ordinary channel. Click on the New Channel button in order to continue with these steps down below.
- While making a channel you will be asked to type in the name of it. You can give that channel a name the same as your company’s name, or an important project’s name. You are able to call it what you want.
- Next, add a description to your channel. The description should be as short as possible, and it should contain only basic information about your channel. Write in the purpose of your channel and the goal for example.
- You will now have to choose whether you want your channel to be public or private, choose whichever you want, we explained the difference in the previous paragraph of this article.
- If you want to make a private channel, you are going to receive a unique link that you will be able to give to the people that you want to be on your channel. And if you have made a public channel, you will also be able to get a link but it can be sharable on other social media.
And that was it. The only thing that is left to do is to share that link (if you have made a private channel) with your colleagues or with your employers. As soon as they open that link they will be redirected to your new Telegram channel. They will be able to start communicating and working on a certain project right away, they will also be able to see all of the messages and previous chats in that specific channel.
