Three steps
-
The advertiser creates a post
In the web dashboard, tops up the ad balance, builds a post in the editor (or forwards a ready-made post to the bot), and picks bot topics, user languages and placement.
-
The post is moderated
Every post is reviewed manually — usually within a few minutes.
-
Partner bots show the ad
Bots are moderated too before they join the network. When a user taps /start or is active in a bot, the bot calls the HiViews API and the user receives a matching post. The advertiser pays per impression, and the bot owner earns.
Two placement types
- Welcome impressions — $6 per 1,000. The ad arrives right after
/start, when attention peaks. The user gets about 2 seconds to read it, then the bot shows its own greeting. - Regular impressions — $3 per 1,000. The ad appears inside the bot right after it delivers the result to the person.
- Or pay per click — $0.05 per click. For both the welcome and the regular placement: impressions are free, and you pay for the first click (a button or a link in the text) on each impression. See the advertiser guide.
- The price doesn’t depend on the topic. Multipliers (for impressions and clicks alike): Premium users only — ×2, betting and gambling — ×2, boost — ×1.25–×2.
