What is “write in PM”, “write in PM” - what does it all mean?

Communication on the Internet has become commonplace for many people. On forums and instant messengers you can discuss interesting topics, find friends, or even solve business issues. But those who recently became acquainted with the Internet are not aware of some terminology. For example, not everyone knows what “pm” or “personal” is and how to write there.

What is a PM?

What does “personal”, “write in a personal” mean? PMs are personal messages. That is, such messages on a social network that are seen only by two people - you and the person with whom you are corresponding. Sometimes a personal message is called “PM” or “l/s” - it’s easy to understand that these are the same Personal Messages. “Write in PM” or “write in PM” means a request to write in private messages. On Instagram a personal account is called “direct”, on VK it is called “messenger”.

Strangers cannot see your personal information. This is what makes a private message different from comments - sometimes in comments people seem to communicate with each other, and everyone can see their dialogue. Personal messages are personal because only two participants in the correspondence (dialogue) see them.

There is a PM on VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Instagram and many other sites.

Send a message to all friends

There are times when it is necessary to convey important news to all your friends and loved ones at once. Sending a letter to each user will take a lot of time and effort. A member of the VKontakte social network can send a message to several interlocutors at once. Of course, there is a limitation due to which it will not be possible to forward the letter to all recipients. The maximum number of messages sent with one click is 14. When this number is reached, a corresponding notification will appear. In order to send a message, you need to open the DM section, and then click on the inscription “New message”. Next, you should select several users from the list of contacts and fill in the “Subject” field. Finally, you need to create a conversation by clicking on the appropriate item at the top. You can add both text and documents (survey, images, audio, video). After this, click on the “Submit” button.

How to write a personal message?

The principle is this: open the person’s page, find the Write a message button there, write and send. See more details:

• How to write a personal message on VKontakte

1. Open the person’s page (to do this, click on his name or avatar).
2. Under the main photo (avatar) find the Write a message button.
3. Write your message. Be polite.
4. Press the Send or Enter (“Enter” on your keyboard).

If there is no Write a message button, then you cannot write a personal message to this person (read about this below). If instead of this button there is only Send a gift (for example), then his personal account is closed.

And if you wrote to him before or he wrote to you, you can find the dialogue in your “Messages” and write from there - there is no difference.

You can write a personal message to VK, knowing only the person’s phone number. Here are the instructions:

• How to write and send a message to VK by phone number

1. Open the person’s page (to do this, click on his name or avatar).
2. Under the main photo (avatar) find the Write a message button.
3. Write your message. Be polite.
4. Press the Send (orange circle) or Enter (“Enter” on your keyboard).

If there is no Write a message button, then you cannot write a personal message to this person (read about this below).
And if there were already messages between you and this person on Odnoklassniki, you can find them in your “Messages” and write from there - there is no difference.

And when you want to write to a person you have already written to, just go to your messages section and find a dialogue with him there. Click on this dialog to open it, write a new message and send.

Mailing platform

Sending emails manually is not an option for smart and educated SMMplanner readers, so we will look at several services that will do everything for us.

Happy Santa

“Standard” and free application from VKontate partners. This is where the advantages of the application end.

The application can:

• get people to subscribe
• upload database to ID
• send messages with attachments on a timer
• create multiple subscription lists

You can create separate mailing lists and give them different names.
The “Mailouts from Happy Santa” application can be connected in the group settings. Find the application tab, then “Distributions” and connect to your group.

But we recommend any of the three mailers below. They know how to create chains of letters that, after subscription, will be sent to recipients automatically, they know how to address people by name, provide an unsubscribe button, and much more.

Gamayun

The first application with advanced features. It has a buggy interface and is shareware.

It has a wide list of features:

• auto message that is sent after subscribing
• chain of letters
• unsubscribe button
• separate link to the subscription sheet
• group message widget
• substitutions by first names, last names, cities and much more (paid)

Allows you to customize the subscription form

Gamayun was the first to create a separate application for newsletters, and thanks to this he gained a good audience.

Gandy Mail

They position themselves as a service for sending non-violent messages. Apparently, due to the fact that they implemented an unsubscribe button in every built-in template.

Message templates are a special advantage compared to other mailers. After registration, you already have messages ready to send to your subscribers. Whether this leads to simplifying the work of the SMM manager, or to fooling all SMM managers, is up to you to decide.

Differs from most services with green buttons

The service has a nice control interface, more intuitive than Gamayun and Happy Santa.

Paid, developed by SMMers for SMMers. From the public it is clear that the application is constantly updated, and the creators have also launched a training course on mailings.

Senler

The most technologically advanced and developing mailing service, with excellent technical support. They helped me with my problems at three o’clock in the morning, and when I asked to implement my message templates, they made an additional button in 4 hours.

It will be difficult to list all the capabilities of the service, so we will list the main ones:

• Unique cover design for subscription sheets - you can attach a video or your own picture to decorate the subscription form.
• Changeable text of subscribe and unsubscribe buttons.
• Cool statistics showing in detail who clicked on what and what they read.
• The newsletter can be sent only to a specific segment based on age, gender, city, whether a letter has been read or not, and a host of other parameters.
• Subscription by keyword, you can ask your target audience to write you some keyword in the group’s private messages and they will automatically be included in the list of subscribers.
• He can identify the recipient by gender and give different texts to these groups, for example: “here you are sitting like this, drinking coffee” and “here you are sitting like this, drinking coffee.”

Bomb subscription form

Senler has also received our recognition: we at SMMplanner use it to organize our mailings. You can see who else is sending newsletters through Senler in their open community directory.

SMMplanner has several chains that are sent to subscribers

Let's look separately at the statistics of subscribers and messages. Here you can monitor the dynamics of subscriptions, unsubscribes, clicks and registrations using UTM tags (as of January 14, 2018, unsubscribe statistics were under repair).

Based on the dynamics of subscriptions, you can understand how to work with a newsletter subscription

Ibrahim chose Senler, but that doesn't mean you have to do the same. Study the services, check how their technical support works, compare their capabilities. If you decide to try Senler, register using a special link, then you will receive a gift from SMMplanner - 500 rubles to your account. This is enough for three months of work with a database of up to 1,500 recipients.

Why can't I write in a personal message?

It is not always possible to write in a personal message. A person could close his personal account - for example, leave it only for his friends. At the same time, others who are not his friends cannot write to him in a personal message. This is the most common case and the answer to the question “why can’t I write in a personal message?” What to do? If you really need to contact a person, ask one of their friends to pass it on to them, or find another way to contact them.

Sometimes people say “write me in a personal message,” but they forget or don’t understand that their personal message is private. We'll have to give them some kind of signal to get them to open it. For example, write in the comments or call. Look, for example, how to write to a person on VKontakte if his personal account is closed.

Another possible reason is that the person forbade you to write to him in a personal message, that is, he blocked you. How to understand and determine this, see here: How to understand that you have been blocked on VKontakte.

There is always something to learn from Luntik

Every cartoon about Luntik's adventures, every computer game featuring this kid is instructive and educational. In addition to the fact that children learn about the world together with Lunitik and his friends, they also learn to communicate not only with their peers, but also with adults. The inquisitive mind of the young inhabitants of the green meadow, their desire for knowledge, their desire to learn more about the world around them is commendable. At the same time, we must also take into account that Luntik and his friends are polite, courteous and open to communication, which means that the kids who watch their actions from the outside not only watch cartoons, but also learn at the same time. Online games Luntik further contribute to the development of children and help them learn many useful things.

And there is someone to learn from. In addition to his adopted grandparents, the inquisitive little one enjoys communicating with the most erudite earthworm in the world, a jack of all trades, Korney Korneevich. The baby also enjoys conversations with the experienced, intelligent turtle, the ball-loving Aunt Motey, and many other representatives of the ecosystem. By the way, in order to communicate with the inhabitants of the pond, Luntik easily dives under water, as he has the ability to breathe freely under water. Luntik is a true devoted friend, there is never a dull moment with him. And if your kids have not yet had the chance to meet this charming alien, then it’s time to do so.

Close, open a personal message - how to understand this?

• Closing a personal message means prohibiting other people (all or just non-friends) from writing you private messages.
• Opening a personal message , on the contrary, means allowing other people to write you private messages.

You can find out how to close or open a personal message in VK here: How to close or open a personal message, how to hide information on your VK page - it talks about privacy settings, including limiting the circle of people who can write to you in personal messages.

New options

Relatively recently, the site developers introduced another useful feature. As soon as mail arrives in the “My Messages” section, a number appears next to it, by clicking on which you can go to the list of dialogues. In addition, many users receive notifications about new messages even when they are in other browser tabs. In order to receive notifications, you must open the “My Settings” page. Then you need to switch to the “Alerts” tab and sequentially check the boxes “Private messages and other events”, “Show text” and “Turn on sound”. As soon as a new letter is received, the user will hear a signal and see the name of the author and the text of the message at the bottom left.

How can I find out what someone wrote to me in a personal message?

If you go to VK or Odnoklassniki and see an icon next to the word “Messages” or “Messenger” (for example, the number “1”), it means that someone has written to you in a personal message. The number means how many new messages you have. Click on Messages (Messenger) and there you will read what they wrote to you and who wrote it. And new messages are shown on the start page of Login.ru - and you don’t even need to log into VK or Odnoklassniki, that is, you remain invisible, people don’t see you online. Try it, it's very simple and convenient:

Login.ru: start page

Forwarding private messages

To complete this task, you should open the “My Messages” section, then the box with the desired dialogue. Next, you need to click on the desired message. A check mark will appear in front of the message, and the “Forward” option will appear at the top. You need to mark it and select the recipient, add a few words or insert a command. Then the recipient will receive a message without a new text. Finally, you need to click on the “Submit” button. It is not possible to cancel the forwarding of an email. Even if the user deletes a message in his dialogs, the recipient will still receive the message.

Access limitation

Members of the social network, having figured out what “VKontakte” LAN is, first of all try to isolate themselves from annoying fans. Very often, instead of the expected mail, you receive only unnecessary spam. Therefore, the primary task is to resolve the issue of how to close the VKontakte LAN. To do this, open the “My Settings” section, switch to the “Private” tab and select the circle of people from whom the user wants to receive messages. For other people, the function of sending letters to this social network member will not be available. Oh, you can turn off all incoming mail.
