With 9bot, the sponsored post goes out at the agreed time and links from non-advertisers are removed. **Direct answer:** Advertising in WhatsApp groups means paying a group owner to publish a sponsored message. There is no ad tool inside groups and no official price list; the price is agreed between the parties. The fairest way to price is by the audience that actually reads the post and by clicks, using cost per thousand readers (CPM) and cost per click (CPC), not by total member count. **In short:** - There are no native ads in groups; a sponsored post is a direct deal. - Price by readers and clicks, not by members. - The calculator shows CPM, CPC and a suggested price from a target CPM. ## How a sponsored group post works | Step | What to define | | --- | --- | | Proposal | Group audience, member count, average reads and clicks on past posts | | Format | Text, image, link, button or poll; time slot and number of posts | | Disclosure | Label the post as advertising so members are not misled | | Publishing | Post scheduled by the group owner, without giving the advertiser admin access | | Report | Clicks on the tracked link and reactions to the post | Groups that accept any ad lose members. Cap the number of sponsored posts per week and turn down off-topic offers.
