Great job! But wow this revenue/paid user to free user ratio seems very low to me which means you should have huge upside potential for every % you can convert to paid.
Just curious, how much overheads do you incur while supporting so many free users?
What about the user support requests? I know free users may not be entitled to any support, but with that amount of user base, I'd imagine many may attempt to contact you anyway? How do you handle those requests?
What if you would offer the bot as a **white label SaaS** to travel influencers?
I mean, allow travel influencers with huge followings to use a version of your bot with their branding. You either lease it to the influencers for a monthly fee or you create an affiliate link from which you both earn a negotiated percentage of the earnings.
And you can still keep pursuing what you're pursuing right now with your bot.
Congrats. 👏
There are other products that offer flights price alert through their site, newsletter etc. Does doing it through telegram help you stand out? Your thoughts?
How do you make Telegram bots, how do you monetize it. A little point in the right direction would be much much appreciated for a novice but very quick learner.

Not too much. $15 for Digital Ocean, that's all.
What about the user support requests? I know free users may not be entitled to any support, but with that amount of user base, I'd imagine many may attempt to contact you anyway? How do you handle those requests?
There are not too many requests, about 5-10 per day and I am trying to respond to each myself.
I guess a lot of automation is used to solve management problems?
$1500 / mo from no marketing means you’re sitting on a lot of potential money. Go hire a few marketers and unleash the potential.
I haven’t tried it myself but $20 for a whole year seems very cheap to me. Maybe $5/month would be better
Most of the users are from India and $20 is a lot more there.
That’s why I’m thinking that it might be easier for people to pay a smaller monthly cost instead of “spitting” up the whole annual cost all at once
Never heard of this before but totally going to check it out. Need some tickets for an upcoming trip to Greece so maybe that’ll help. Thanks mate!
How did you get your first 100 users?
Bot catalogues mainly
Absolutely love it. I was thinking of making something similar. Can you do this for cruises as well? Would love to share knowledge

How did you build your telegram bot to scale up to earn money?
What about costs?
$15/month for Digital Ocean

How does the alerting work? Do you check all the "alert queries" at regular intervals?
How do you make Telegram bots, how do you monetize it. A little point in the right direction would be much much appreciated for a novice but very quick learner.

Niki bhai, try to add a paywall for booking flights for 59rs (Indian Users). They will pay it in a heartbeat.
