You can send them a private message inviting them to check out your community. Perhaps some of them will find your services useful and will join the group.
- Also, you have probably already personally seen that it is impossible to invite more than 40 people to a group in a day. In this case, personal messages also come to the rescue: you can send a person a message in which you tell him about your group and invite him to look into it. The limit on sending private messages to people who are not your friends is 20 per day.
Naturally, this method of inviting people to a group has both advantages and a number of significant disadvantages.
Pros:
- You can explain to the person who you are and what you offer him. Thus, he does not have to make guesses when looking at your page: whether you know each other, whether you are a bot, as would happen if you simply asked to be his friend.
Note: When sending a friend invitation, you can also attach a short message to the invitation. But since this increases the risk of account blocking, we do not recommend using this feature.
- Personal messages are harder to ignore than just friend invitations, so the chance of “hooking” a potential client is much higher. But this will only happen if you have chosen correctly, to whom send your letter and what words convey the proposal to him. Accordingly, if you make a mistake, then the disadvantages of this method immediately come into play.
Minuses:
- People take personal messages more seriously than friend invitations. After all, reading a letter takes time, and if this time is wasted, the person may experience irritation, as if you had invaded his personal space.
- Some people are very principled about personal letters that offer them something, and regard them as spam. Accordingly, they may complain about you to the site administration (by clicking the “This is spam” button), as a result of which your account may be blocked for some time.
While your account is blocked, you will not be able to work, and the rest of the personal messages you sent to different people that day may also be automatically detected as spam and then the recipient will not receive them.
How to avoid blocking your VKontakte account?
- Carefully approach the issue of choosing the target audience (this is discussed in)
- It’s good to think through the content of the text that you will send out: it should be clear from the text, even during a quick reading, what its essence is. And, of course, the text should not contain grammatical errors.
- Keep your message short: no more than 7-10 lines. At the same time, the sentences themselves should also be short, without participial phrases and complex constructions.
- Remain human: say hello, address the interlocutor by name, apologize at the end of the address for disturbing you.
- Always remember who you are speaking to and speak their language. Accordingly, the text for a teenager choosing “cool” things should be different from the message to a young mother who wants to buy cute sneakers for her “sweetheart.”
- Change the text a little from time to time: this will significantly reduce the risk that your letter will be identified as spam.
Let's take a look at a few private messages we've received recently:
Overall this is a good message, but it has a number of shortcomings. Firstly, the message itself is long, and the sentences in it are complex. The letter contains redundant information that is not needed at the quick reading stage. It is also not entirely clear what kind of counter-offers we are talking about and therefore the last two sentences are very similar to a ready-made cliche from business correspondence. Do not forget that it was received on the VKontakte network, so it is strange that the letter does not contain a link to the group. How could this message be improved?
Hello, Ekaterina! I am a representative of the hotel "Hotel_Name", which is located on the shores of Lake Baikal in the villageN.
How do you feel about holding seminars, meetings, trainings and just weekends at our hotel? Accommodation in a standard room with meals costs 3,700 rubles. for two. There are entertainments: sauna, rental of skis, skates, sleds. Rooms for 10 and 25 people are equipped for negotiations. Photos in the grouphttp:// vk. com /group/
We guarantee a charge of good emotions!
In fact, this message is still not perfect, but it can be read much faster and easier to perceive, including by shortening semantic blocks and breaking long sentences into shorter ones.
Let's look at another example:
This message is much less successful than the previous one. It is not clear what issue is being referred to in the second sentence. Perhaps the author was trying to show interest in the recipient’s personality in this way, but the attempt can be considered a failure.
The huge drawback of this letter is that its sender speaks only about his own needs, and not a word about the needs of the recipient. Essentially, this message looks like this to the recipient: “I need to promote my site, so in addition to the time you have already spent reading, spend it on increasing the ranking of my site. And don’t spam me (even though I’ve already spammed you).” This message does not initially take into account the interests of the person who will read it, so it is difficult to improve it. But it could at least be like this:
Olga, hello.
I recently launched my website http://addresses_ saita.ru . It is dedicated to healthy eating and natural cosmetics. The site has several articles and a small online store.
I would be glad if these topics are interesting to you and you stop by to see me.
I apologize if this message has caused you any inconvenience.
And another personal message with an invitation to the group:
In our opinion, this is a very good invitation. It is written briefly, politely, does not contain redundant information, and immediately makes it clear what the author wanted to say.
What to do if your VKontakte account is blocked?
Even if you followed all our recommendations, It is very likely that your account will be blocked several times. When this happens, you will see a message on your screen that reads something like this: “Your account has been blocked for sending the following message to user so-and-so...”. You will be asked to enter the phone number to which the blocked account was registered. After which you will receive an SMS with a special code with which the blocking will be removed.
Usually the account is blocked for a day, in some cases - for 2-3 days. We advise you to relax, drink delicious tea and not be upset: nothing bad happened. After some time, you will regain access to your account and can continue working. And difficulties only strengthen us!
If, after restoring access and starting work, you are blocked again, be sure to analyze the text of your message: perhaps you are too intrusive, did not convey the essence of your message, or it is difficult to read due to size or poor formatting. Make adjustments, wait until you are unblocked, and continue working.
Note: Do not re-send private messages to people who blocked your account. With almost 100% probability you will be blocked again.
Homework:
Using private messages, invite friends to the group whose invitations are closed in the usual way. Invite at least 20 non-friends. Analyze the effect.
Nowadays it is very fashionable to create various groups and communities on various topics on social networks. The popularity of a community or public can be judged by the number of participants and subscribers. The first thing to do to promote your VKontakte community is to invite friends to a group. Let's figure out how to do this.
There are public pages and groups (communities) on VKontakte. The methods of “invitation” are different.
How to invite to a group
1. Go to VKontakte and select “My groups” in the menu on the left.
2. A list of your groups will open, in which we select the one to which we will invite people. You can also immediately enter the group using the hyperlink.
3. Before us is a community to which we want to invite friends. Under your avatar, click on “Invite friends.”
4. A window opens with a list of your friends. On the left is a friend’s avatar, on the right is the inscription “Send an invitation.”
5. Click on “Send an invitation” and thereby “invite” users to the group.
6. You can also invite friends from the full list.
7. The scheme is the same, click on “Invite to group”.
This is how we can invite other people to our or someone else’s group.
You cannot invite friends to a public page the same way as to a group. We can only post a link to the public on our wall, thereby telling our friends about it.
1. We go to the public.
2. Under the avatar, click “Tell friends.”
Hi all!
Social networks are a great way to communicate as well as promote a business. The first online resources with basic functions that are characteristic of modern social networks appeared in the late 80s of the last century. People have a need to gather in certain interest groups and social networks have decided to provide this service.
This is why they have become so popular. is an analogue of the American resource Facebook. Over time, they have some differences, but the essence of the resource has not changed.
Having created a social group, administrators are faced with many questions about increasing the efficiency of promoting their public.
One of the most important factors in promoting a community is the presence of a numerical “live” target audience. How to invite friends to a VKontakte group? – This is the most pressing question of all administrators.
Instructions for inviting friends to a social group
So, under the main photo of the public there is a tab “You are in a group”; by clicking on it, select the “Invite friends” option. A list of your friends on the social network will appear in front of you, where you can click on the phrase “Invite friends” next to each of them. VKontakte does not allow you to invite more than 40 people per day.
Special services for making friends on VKontakte
If you do not want to wait a long time for your group to promote itself through user reposts, then you can use auxiliary tools that will significantly speed up this process. There are special services that will provide you with public promotion for a fee or free of charge.
Prefer a paid option? It may be based on cooperation with an intermediary who will provide you with a certain number of “live” subscribers. “Live” means active users who will not only be on the list of friends, but also systematically perform actions: like, repost, comment, etc. Just keep in mind that the market price of one active subscriber is at least 1-2 rubles.
If the cost is lower than indicated, then there is a high probability that your intermediary is a fraudster. Its users will most likely leave your community within a week. Therefore, do not chase after cheap ways to make friends; it is better to choose completely free ones.
Just keep in mind that if the service offers to promote your public for free, then you won’t have to idle. Since they are based on the exchange of actions to promote communities and public pages on various social networks. The bottom line is that you collect points for completed tasks, and as a result you can spend them on promoting your public page, for example, getting friends, likes, comments and even votes if you are promoting a public page.
What free services are there? These include: http://olike.ru/, http://socgain.com/, https://vktarget.ru/ and many others. Administrators value these resources because they can save money and promote the community efficiently. Administrators monitor the performance of all duties by site participants.
Therefore, using these services, you can be sure that you will not encounter scammers and all your requests will be completed on time.
When promoting a public site through a resource such as Olike.ru, as well as similar ones, you are not afraid of a ban for a sharp increase in the number of subscribers. Because you simply won’t be able to accumulate a colossal amount of them in one fell swoop. Everything will happen gradually, without arousing suspicion among VKontakte administrators.
Subscribe to blog updates, repost articles on a social network. Let your friends also learn interesting facts about the social network VKontakte.
Invitation to an open group
The restrictions imposed by VK allow you to send no more than 40 invitations per day. For most users, the established limit is enough for the eyes.
- In the navigation menu on your page, open the “Groups” block. We select the one to which we are going to invite friends, and click on the link hidden under its name.
- In the main menu, under the group logo, look for the area where it says “You are a member.” Open the drop-down menu and select the marked item.
- An additional window will open containing a list of your friends. Here we will have two options available. In the first case, we select the necessary people from the general list manually. Then, using the highlighted button, we send an invitation. In the second case, open an additional menu.
- If you have many contacts, this option is more convenient. You can sort your friends in the side menu marked with the number “1”. Here you can choose to belong to a specific group. For example, you can send invitations only to work colleagues or relatives. This assumes that friends have previously been placed in these categories. The Options menu, marked “2,” allows you to sort by gender, age, and geographic location.
- Whatever method you choose, if a person has not limited communication with him in the settings, he will receive a notification sent. Otherwise, you will see the message shown in the screenshot.
Invitation to a public page
VKontakte allows the creation of three types of communities: group, event and public page. The latter is intended to disseminate information and news and you cannot invite anyone to it. Having opened such a page, we see that there is no corresponding item in the subscription menu.
- If you are an admin in such a community and want to promote it by inviting friends, proceed as follows. Click on the ellipsis marked with an exclamation mark to open the action menu.
- We move to the last point and transfer the community to a group.
- A warning message will appear informing you of the consequences of your action. As you can see, nothing critical will happen to the page. After 30 days, you can reverse the changes, making it public again.
- The selected action will need to be confirmed. This can be done using an application installed on your phone or via SMS message.
- We enter the received digital code in the field provided for this.
The community will immediately be converted into a group, and the menu will have the option to send invitations. Now you can use the instructions from the first part of the article and collect as many subscribers from among your friends as you can.
Finally
If desired, invitations can be sent from an Android smartphone. Once you open a group, you will see a checkmarked menu at the top of the screen. The first point in it allows you to send invitations. It’s strange, but in the VK application for iPhone the developers have not implemented this feature.
The given instructions will help you better understand the intricacies of the social network and not feel like a “dummie”.
Video instruction
The videos below will help you see how the described operations are performed in real time and better understand how to work with groups.
Hello friends! In one of the previous articles I talked about... In this article I will tell you how to add and invite people (friends, members, subscribers) to a group on VKontakte and how to join a group on VK yourself using the tools of this popular social network.
Well, before we get to the heart of the matter, for the most impatient, I’ll say a few words about super-quickly attracting subscribers to your groups and public pages. In the event that you are sorely short of time for manual promotion and promotion of your VKontakte group, I recommend you an online PR service - soclike.ru.
This resource has been pleasing its users with high-quality and, most importantly, effective promotion methods for several years now. Attracting only real subscribers from advertising and invitations without “dogs”, reposts of your posts, likes for publications and much, much more. Friends, let's use it!
If the group is open, then anyone can join it on their own. If the group is closed, you will need to wait until the administrator approves the application to join the group on VKontakte.
How to join a group on VKontakte?
In the "My Groups" menu in the upper right corner there will be a "Search for Communities" button. Here you will find recommended and popular communities, as well as groups on certain topics, or you can find a specific group by entering its name in the search bar.
When you decide on the group you want to join or they send you a link to the group, then on the right side of the group menu to join it you need to click the “Join Group” button.
How to invite friends to a group on VKontakte?
If the group is closed, to add a new member, you first need to have him apply to join the group by clicking on the “Join Group” button, and then confirm his application if you are the group leader.
To do this, go to “Community Management”. The “Requests” tab will appear in the “Participants” tab. In it, next to the photo of the person you want to add to the group, you need to click on the “Accept to group” button.
To invite friends to a group on VK, you need to expand the “You are in a group” menu in the group control panel and select “Invite friends.”
In the window that opens, you can send an invitation by clicking on the appropriate button to all your friends in the VKontakte group individually or filter the list of friends by certain parameters. To do this, click on the “Invite from the full list” link under the photos in the “Invite Friends” window.
You can filter friends to invite to a group by location (city, country or region), age, gender. Invite all your friends or just new, best friends, relatives, colleagues, university friends, school friends.
To invite NOT friends to a VKontakte group, you need to ask your friends to send an invitation to the group to their friends.
If in the future you plan to create several groups on a specific topic, for example, on website promotion or making money on the Internet, then in this case it would be advisable to create a list of friends who would be interested in such topics. And manually attracting and inviting people to a group or community (public page) on VKontakte is very time-consuming, especially if there are several groups and communities. Therefore, you can use specialized software or a service that can take over most of the routine tasks and significantly speed up the process.
Really powerful software that can fulfill the entire range of assigned tasks for promoting and filling a group or community on VKontakte, not everyone can afford financially and understand its functionality, as well as learn how to create process templates for the implementation of a specific idea. In this case, it is better to use some service for promoting and promoting groups, communities (public pages) on the VKontakte social network. One of these services is Soclike, which in the shortest possible time will help you promote and make a group or community on VKontakte popular, as well as quickly gain subscribers in them.
How to appoint a moderator (leader) of a group on VKontakte?
When your group on VK becomes popular, it will be difficult to manage it yourself - there simply won’t be enough time for it, especially if there are several groups. To appoint a group member as a leader, you need to go to the group control panel - “My groups” - “Management” - “Group selection” - “Community management” - “Members” - “Assign as leader”.
In the window that opens, you need to select the position of the manager according to his powers:
- Moderator. Can delete materials added by users, manage the community blacklist;
- Editor. Can write on behalf of the community, add, delete and edit content, update the main photo;
- Administrator. Can appoint and remove administrators, change the name and address of the community.
To indicate an arbitrary position of the manager, as well as his contact information - e-mail and phone number, you need to check the box next to the item “Display in the contact block”.
If you want to assign a user as a group administrator in VK, the system will issue the following warning:
“You are going to appoint Yuri Yosifovich as administrator. He will be able to appoint and remove any other administrators and will have full control over the community. If you do not know Yuri personally and do not trust him completely, we recommend that you go back and appoint him as editor. Editors have sufficient authority to run the community, but will be able to cause much less harm if they turn out to be unreliable.”
I know Yura personally. We met several times, as I have already talked about: . Therefore, I can safely appoint him as an administrator.
You can demote a manager at any time by clicking on the appropriate button opposite his photo.
After which you will receive an appropriate warning, which will prevent you from accidentally demoting the group leader.
In conclusion, I want to say that you won’t be able to immediately invite all your friends to a group on VKontakte, since the social network has set a limit on the number of invitations you can send to your friends. On one day, you can send an invitation to the group to only 40 of your friends. I will tell you how to send an invitation to all your friends at the same time in new articles, since there are many different ways to do this.
