Is what a person does by adding followers from Telegram groups – whether closed or open – with the aim of marketing certain products and obtaining a commission, permissible or forbidden?

Adding followers in the manner described does not appear to be religiously prohibited, as it involves neither deception nor hacking into confidential data. Marketing permissible goods for a known commission falls under the category of a permissible ju'alah (stipulated reward).
