2,776 Telegram Subscribers for a Sleep Expert: Ads Case Study

2,776 Telegram Subscribers for a Sleep Expert: Ads Case Study

A case study about how we built stable cold traffic for a sleep expert, using the same systematic approach applied to expert and online school funnels — where profitability, not click volume, was the key metric.

Quick Facts for Those in a Hurry

  • Niche: sleep expert, online product
  • Sales format: Telegram → warm-up → free webinar → course
  • Minimum ticket: 24,000 rubles
  • Traffic: social media and search advertising
  • Approximately 2,776 subscribers acquired
  • Result: ads consistently break even; from the second webinar — 2x growth

Context and Starting Conditions

A sleep expert came to me with an already established organic presence but no systematic paid traffic.

This situation is common across many niches — from high-ticket services to projects where trust matters more than impulse.

Before launching ads:

  • Telegram channel with around 8,000 subscribers
  • sales through short-form video
  • existing webinar experience

Target Audience and Constraints

We worked with cold audiences from the start — the same approach used in projects where trust outweighs traffic volume.

  • Mothers of children from birth to four years old
  • Age range: 27 to 40
  • No existing database, no retargeting

Project Goal

The goal wasn’t ad account metrics — it was real sales. The same logic applies in cases built around consistent month-over-month profitability.

The primary metric: Telegram subscribers who actually buy.

How the Funnel Was Built

Traffic was sent directly to the sleep expert’s Telegram channel, using a model that has proven itself in projects requiring conscious, considered purchases.

The funnel flow:

  • content-based warm-up
  • free webinar
  • sale of the main course

This notification appears to non-subscribers when they try to claim the lead magnet.

The Key Pivot: Cutting CIS Traffic

After the first webinar, it became clear that the CIS audience wasn’t breaking even — the same pattern seen in projects where economics are measured in revenue, not in inquiries.

We turned off CIS targeting entirely and refocused on financially viable markets.

Scaling

Scaling used a multi-channel logic — similar to cases where online and offline channels reinforce each other.

The Key Insight

Ad systems were trained on real actions — Telegram subscriptions — not clicks.

Just as in projects built around controlled ad profitability, this produced predictable, measurable results.

Summary

This case is about audience filtering, smart optimization, and a stable sales flow for a sleep expert.
