FanDesk · Creator quick-start

Get set up in 5 minutes.

Everything you need to turn your Telegram channel into a fan-engagement game and a recurring income stream. No laptop needed — this all happens on your phone, inside Telegram.

The short version Open @FanDeskAppBot → press Start → share the link it gives you → set your prices. That's it. The steps below just explain each part.

Part 1 · Go live

1

Open the bot and press Start

In Telegram search, find @FanDeskAppBot and tap Start. There's no signup form and no password — Telegram already knows who you are, so your creator account is created the instant you press Start.

Tip: Use the Telegram account your fans know you by. Your FanDesk lives on whatever account you start the bot with.
2

Copy your fan link

The bot immediately replies with your personal fan link — it looks like t.me/FanDeskAppBot?startapp=…. This single link is your whole presence: anyone who taps it opens your FanDesk.

You can get it again anytime by sending the bot /link.

3

Open your creator studio

Tap the Open FanDesk button in the bot. You'll land in your studio, which has these tabs:

  • Inbox — questions from fans, waiting for your answer
  • Answered — everything you've replied to
  • Subs — your monthly subscription tier and subscriber-only posts
  • Earnings — your Stars balance and payment breakdown
  • Settings — your bio, fan link, keyword filters, channel connection

Part 2 · Bring in fans

4

Share your fan link where your fans already are

Post it in your channel, pin it, put it in your bio, or drop it in a group. The more places it lives, the more fans start asking questions and climbing your leaderboard.

Best first move: pin a short post — "Ask me anything, anonymously 👉 [your link]" — in your channel. Anonymous questions get way more engagement than public ones.
5

Connect your channel so answers auto-publish

This is the growth engine. When connected, every question you answer gets posted to your channel automatically — with a button that pulls new fans back into FanDesk.

  • Add @FanDeskAppBot as an admin of your channel
  • Post /connect as a message inside that channel
  • Done — you'll get a confirmation
Why it matters: answered questions become content, and that content recruits the next wave of fans. This loop is what grows your audience while you sleep.
6

Answer questions (and seed a few to start)

Open Inbox, tap a question, write your reply, and publish. When your inbox is empty, ask a friend to send a couple — a channel with a few answered Q&As shows fans how it works and gets them submitting.

You're always in control: skip anything, remove anything, or block a sender in one tap. Their identity is never shown to you either way.

Part 3 · Get paid

7

Turn on paid shoutouts & priority

These are on by default. Fans pay Telegram Stars to jump the queue with a priority question or to buy a shoutout that goes to the top of your inbox. You'll get a notification each time.

8

Launch a monthly subscription tier

This is your recurring income. In the Subs tab:

  • Set your monthly price in Stars
  • Write a short line on what subscribers get
  • Tap Launch subscription tier

Now fans see a VIP tab on your FanDesk. When they subscribe, they're charged automatically every month, and you can post subscriber-only content they unlock.

Pricing note: lower prices with more subscribers usually beat high prices with few. Something around 300 Stars/month (≈ a few dollars) is a comfortable starting point — you can change it anytime.
9

Understand how the money reaches you

Fans pay in Stars (they buy those from Telegram with their own card). Your earnings collect in your bot's balance, and you convert them to real money on your own schedule:

StageWhat happens
Fan paysThey spend Telegram Stars on your shoutout or subscription
You earnYour share lands in your FanDesk / bot balance
You withdrawStars convert to TON after Telegram's holding period
You cash outTON → your local currency via a TON wallet, when you choose
Set up early: open the @wallet bot in Telegram once (takes two minutes) so a TON wallet is ready when you're set to withdraw. No bank connection needed to start.

Part 4 · Keep fans hooked (built in — nothing to configure)

10

Your fans get a game, automatically

Every fan who joins gets weekly quests (ask questions, check in, react, invite friends), unlockable badges, a reactions feed of your answers, and power-ups they can buy — point boosters, streak savers, and Star gifts (🌹 🏆 👑) sent straight to you.

You don't set any of this up. It runs on its own, keeps fans coming back daily, and every gift and power-up is revenue with your share included.

11

Open your shop & accept tips

In Earnings → Your shop, list digital items (a PDF, preset pack, private link, promo code) with a Stars price — buyers receive your delivery content instantly. Fans can also send you no-strings tips (10–2,500⭐) anytime from their Perks tab.

12

Add your links so fans find your other pages

In Settings → Your links, add up to 5 links — Instagram, your shop, other platforms. Fans see them in their Feed tab, so every session in FanDesk also drives traffic to everything else you do.

You never touch your other platforms

FanDesk runs on your Telegram audience specifically. Whatever else you use for content stays exactly as it is — this is an extra income stream on the fans you already have, not a replacement for anything.
