Telegram directory generated it's 1st ad revenue after a year of it's launch.

Hello IH,
Today I am very glad that the time and energy which I spend on my startup is now paying off.

Telegram directory is my 1st startup which taught me a lot of things. I launched it in April 21 and this is my first project which I have made fully from scratch and that too when I was learning PHP on my own.

Initially this project did not look so good, but I kept on improving this website and as a result daily unique visitors started growing and now it reached 500+ daily unique visitors mark. I personally consider constant improvement on website and optimizing it for search engines as the main reason for this growth.

As visitors started increasing, Advertisers are also showing interest to put their advertisement on our site. Because of which yesterday an advertiser contacted us and booked two slots of Telegram directory and we got our first ad revenue after one long year.
