I Got Tired of Manually Managing My Paid Telegram Channel, So I Built a Bot

Last month I was spending hours every week doing the same boring tasks: checking who paid, generating invite links, removing people whose subscriptions expired. Classic manual work that screams "automate me." So I did. The Problem Running a paid Telegram channel sounds easy until you actually do it. Here's what my daily routine looked like: Someone pays → I manually check → I manually create an invite link → I send it Someone's subscription expires → I manually check a spreadsheet → I manually kick them Someone asks "did my payment go through?" → I dig through payment history Multiply this by 50+ subscribers and you've got yourself a part-time job you didn't sign up for. What I Built A Python bot that handles everything automatically. User pays with Telegram Stars → bot verifies → bot sends invite link → done. No human needed. When subscription expires, the bot kicks them. When it's about to expire, the bot sends a reminder. When someone uses a referral link, both people get bonus days
