What is SellGram?
SellGram is a platform for selling paid memberships to Telegram channels and groups. Creators connect a Telegram bot as an admin, set up subscription plans with monthly, quarterly, or lifetime tiers, and share a checkout link. Once a member pays, the platform handles access automatically, including instant invites and removal of members when their plan ends.
It is aimed at Telegram creators and businesses who want to earn recurring revenue from their audience without building or maintaining their own membership automation. The page describes a guided setup with no coding required, and says a basic setup can go live in about two minutes.
According to the page, SellGram sends expiry reminders across Telegram, email, and WhatsApp before access ends, and lets members extend a plan while still active so the new time stacks onto their existing validity. It also supports free trials, custom discount coupons, and bundles that give one subscription access to multiple channels or groups. Payments can be made through UPI, PhonePe, Paytm, Google Pay, cards, netbanking, and wallets. SellGram charges a flat 10% commission on each sale, with no monthly or setup fees.

I pushed out a tweet and basically said I'm going to build an open source alternative to Docsend and it went just like crazy within a couple hours it got like 40,000 views lots of people mentioned that they would love to see this as an open source project so over the weekend I actually built it.
Single tweet got 40K views validating open-source Docsend before any code
Mark used a single tweet as a demand test before investing real engineering time. The 40K-view response and explicit enthusiast replies confirmed both the problem and the open-source angle, removing guesswork from the build and giving him the conviction to sprint a weekend MVP.

Validate by mirroring an existing community
Don't build a marketplace and pray for users — clone a community that already exists, then add the layer of control they're missing (verification, moderation, trust). Hauling Buddies started as a mirror of his mom's Facebook group, just with rules the platform refused to enforce. The audience is pre-validated; you're selling them better infrastructure.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
