1⃣ Well Rohan, let’s start with your biggest project: News and Tips. How did it begin? Did you get help from anyone, or was it something you initially built on your own?
It actually surprised me how the News and Tips channel grew to become so successful and impactful. The origin of the channel is quite interesting and a bit funny as well.
I am a strong tech enthusiast, and I found the Telegram application particularly fascinating. When I started exploring it, I joined several groups to ask questions and learn more. However, many of these groups were highly restricted, and in some cases, I was even removed because my questions were considered too simple or repetitive.
That experience motivated me to create a space where users could freely ask questions without feeling judged. I also wanted to build a platform without third-party advertisements, as they were very common and often intrusive at that time.
Initially, I built the channel entirely on my own without any help. As it started growing, many subscribers began supporting me—some contributed by sending gifts, and others helped in building bots and managing the channel
2⃣ Today, News and Tips is a major Telegram channel with a strong community. What do you think has been the key to this success, and what have you offered that other news channels haven’t?
Our key to success was providing fast and reliable updates, along with accurate predictions. In the earlier stages, consistency and timing played a major role in building trust with our audience. However, over time, I became busy with other commitments, which affected that consistency to some extent. If you look at our track record, the channel has successfully predicted several major developments in Telegram, including the current integration of AI features. I believe this forward-looking approach is something that set us apart from many other news channels.
3⃣ As of today, how much are you personally involved in the news published on the channel, and how many contributors are working behind News and Tips?
As of now, I am still the primary content creator and publisher for the channel. Recently, a new admin, @, joined, and both of us are actively involved in editing and managing the content.
Additionally, Nick (@godspro) supports us by providing useful bot that help with automation of beta files. We also have another admin, but he is not currently active.
4⃣ In your opinion, what has been your best post in terms of originality, timeliness, or uniqueness on News and Tips?
There have been several posts that contributed to making News and Tips unique in terms of originality and timeliness. It’s difficult to single out just one, as many of them played a role in shaping the channel’s identity. However, I’ve compiled a list of some of our most notable and impactful posts, which you can check here: https://t.me/NewsAndTipsNT/1139�
5⃣ Have there ever been difficult periods for your channel? Did you ever consider shutting it down?
Yes, there have been difficult periods, and in fact, we are going through one right now especially for me personally. However, despite these challenges, I have never seriously considered shutting down the channel. During this time, @ has been a great support and a valuable helping hand in managing and maintaining the channel.
6⃣ Besides News and Tips, you’ve developed other projects like @InternationalInsider. Which project are you most attached to? And is there a project of yours that never saw the light of day?
@InternationalInsider was a very ambitious project and still has strong growth potential. However, managing two channels at the same time has been challenging for me, so I’ve decided to focus primarily on News and Tips for now. As for other projects, there aren’t any that never saw the light of day. These two are the main projects I’ve worked on.
