Good day, dear readers of my blog. Today I want to save you some time. The question that we will talk about today worries all novice administrators and group owners. If I had come across a similar publication a few years ago, I would not have spent a ton of time and money.
I know that many of you come to these pages based on queries from search engines. You are trying to quickly find an answer to your question. I have about 10-15 seconds to interest you, and reading the entire article should not take you more than three minutes. This post is longer.
I strongly recommend that you now pour yourself a new mug of coffee, sit back and take a little more time. Believe me, this will save you from unnecessary body movements and frustrations, which you may spend at least a week on.
Today we will talk about how to invite people to a VKontakte group.
Is it worth it? The whole truth in one article
I began thorough work on maintaining VKontakte groups by ordering one very popular tattoo studio in our city. I had made attempts before, but they all turned out unsuccessfully. This time I was offered a community that already had over 10,000 members.
One of the methods of promotion was precisely the addition of outside participants. It should probably be said right away that you can add an invitation in different ways. Let me first tell you about everyone, and then we will return to my experience and the whole truth about how the methods work and when.
Why do Greenway partners need WhatsApp chat?
Client chat is an effective tool with which we work. A tool for promoting a product, attracting customers and partners.
This is the simplest tool and yet it is not a magical object (lamp, tablecloth, carpet, wand), but a tool, and it only works with our CORRECT, CONSTANT participation.
If you follow the algorithm for creating and maintaining a chat, it gives you access to the S1 qualification easily (does not mean quickly), but reliably.
Greenway grocery and customer chat can also be found in other messengers Viber, Telegram, for example.
When choosing a messenger for a client chat, focus on the audience that you plan to attract and create in the messenger that is primarily used by your audience - your loved ones, acquaintances, colleagues.
Today, objectively, people use WhatsApp more often.
Fast, safe and effective method
This technique can be useful and you can add new people quickly and safely. But only if you work with people you know personally. Let's quickly consolidate if the information is familiar.
If we are talking about a group, then there is a special button: “Invite friends.”
After this, this field appears. Opposite the names there is a special link, by clicking on which an invitation is sent to the person.
You can only send invitations to 40 people per day. The system will no longer allow it. You will be asked to come back later. In addition, people can turn off the ability to send an invitation, and in this case, by clicking on the corresponding link you will learn that the user has prohibited such operations from being performed with him.
If you are not running a group, but a public page, then you will not have the opportunity to send an invitation. The most you can do is tell your friends about the community.
In this case, the post will not look very nice and will not have the same effect as in the first case. We tell “Friends and subscribers”.
And we get this result.
How to send an invitation to people on VK
To do this, go to your community. Click on the button under the public avatar and select “Invite friends.”
In the window that opens, select one or more people to mail to.
You can send no more than 40 invitations per 24 hours from one account.
Mailing software
If the prospect of sending invitations manually does not suit you, then this process can be automated. There are various scripts and programs for this. Let's look at them in more detail.
BroBot
One of the most popular bots for automating VK actions. To get started, download the program to your computer. BroBot has a free version for 1 profile. The demo version will allow you to test the invitation function. To work with 10 profiles you need to buy a license from BroBot for 599 rubles per month. Discounts apply when paying for 2 or more months.
VkInviter
A special script for sending mass invitations to a VKontakte group. The utility is very easy to use thanks to its user-friendly interface. The software allows you to automatically collect your target audience
, add her as a friend and carry out subsequent mailings. In order to start using VKinviter you need to buy a licensed version of the program, the cost of which is 3,000 rubles.
QuickSender
To test the inviting function, the program has a free trial version. A month of use costs 990 rubles. The utility provides the opportunity to collect your target audience according to specified parameters: city, gender, age, etc. Also, using Quick Sender, you can gather communities of competitors and add their subscribers as friends.
Lsender
Program from the studio "LizardProgram". When purchasing software you receive a perpetual license. All further program updates will be made free of charge. LSender functionality allows you to collect the target audience you need and send out an invitation to join the VK group. A distinctive feature of the utility is its fast operating speed. Also, thanks to browser emulation during operation, the security of all your accounts is increased.
Thus, using it when promoting your communities, you will save a lot of your time and also increase your productivity several times.
Risky way
Sending invitations to non-friends, remembering everyone, sending everyone links to the group is very long and tedious. And yet not as risky as the method I'm going to talk about now.
You can search for other people in groups with similar topics, and then send them a message saying that you saw that they are in such and such a group and that they might be interested in your community.
Go to the group, enter the main word in the search bar and go to any community you like.
Click on the “Participants” section.
And then proceed to the search.
You can add as a friend, but it’s better to go to this person’s page.
When the method works 100%
The only way the method will truly be 100% effective is if people themselves want to share information with their friends. If you are just starting your journey, then create a group and ask your friends to personally send invitations using the first method described in this article. This would be a really useful recommendation.
However, in an amicable way, a simple repost of any post is often enough. I recently discovered a book about which I am writing now in the second article for this blog. It's called “Content Marketing. New methods of attracting customers in the Internet era"
.
Unfortunately, like any worthwhile book, it is impossible to download it for free. The only option is liters
. I haven't read it to the end yet. I'm somewhere in the middle. I found a lot of confirmation of the thoughts I already had and an incredible number of new paths.
This bestseller really helps you create a cool band, find inspiration and learn how to work correctly. All facts are confirmed by evidence, arguments and life stories.
I have already tried some of this in practice and it really works. For example, instead of stealing some information from third-party sources for the community and compressing it into a few sentences, it is much more useful to leave a nice link to the article. This was a discovery for me, and when it was confirmed, it was also an incredible surprise. You will find this and many other tips from Michael Stelzner.
Invitations to VK will help increase the subscriber base and popularity of the community. In this article we will cover:
- How to send mail yourself
- What programs will help you organize shipping?
- What you need to know so that the group is not blocked
If you have just created a community, start by inviting friends and be sure to pin the post on your wall in VK. This way you will collect the first 30-50 subscriptions for free. To invite friends to a group:
- Under the profile header, click on the item “you are in a group...”
- In the drop-down menu, click on the “Invite…” button
- A form with a list of your friends will appear in a new window. Next to each name you will see a special link to submit. After you invite 30 friends, wait until the next day. Number 30 is the VK limit for sending notifications.
If you are too active, the resource will block your community. It is impossible for some users to send an invitation because they have set special settings that block sending. You can write them a message indicating the link to the group. In addition, make a list of groups on a related topic. Select those with the most activity and watch the discussions.
Some communities allow you to add advertisements in comments. Monitor competitor groups and write to those people who have open messages. You should be careful with this. There is an overabundance of advertising and information on the Internet; some users do not like it when strangers write to them. They may click on spam or block your page.
To effectively replenish subscriptions, post interesting content. Use our article to improve your knowledge on this topic. Don’t forget to conduct surveys; the more interesting they are, the more people will come to you. To boost surveys, you can always contact us for help using this link: and to increase your subscription base.
Let's return to the main question
So, look. The prospect of getting a lot of people at once without spending a penny makes every newbie happy. Okay, about 40 new people to the group. After a month it’s already 1200!
But, unfortunately, practice shows the opposite. Very few people join, already on the second day there is someone who sends you to spam. You know what to do - go for a new SIM card and create an account again.
Would I advise you to use any of these methods? Never. Very tiring. It takes a lot of time and effort. Does this method ever work? Yes, but only if the company or brand is already known, popular and in demand.
If you work on the business community, then management will primarily care about the prestige of the company. Companies that are concerned about their reputation will never allow a group to ask for Christ's sake to join.
Possible problems when composing the text of an invitation to a VK group
If you are not a famous writer, then there may be some problems when composing the text.
- I don’t know what to write about in the text of the invitation message. Solution: you need to briefly and concisely interest the reader in your community, highlighting why a person needs to join it and what “problems” this can solve.
- I made a message, but most people refuse to join the group. Solution: try creating several different invitations and see which one brings more satisfied readers.
Little by little you will learn how to compose a stunning invitation letter.
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: https://olike.ru/, https://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.
Inviting from a group to a meeting is a very popular function for organizers of all kinds of events, and this is especially true for the music business. In this article, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the best, in our opinion, existing programs for inviting people from the community to an event.
Note: if you use this function by pumping up a meeting page, which in fact is not a real event, but for example a competition or a page selling goods, then both the meeting and the organizing group may suffer from the VKontakte administration.
Browser extension VkButton
This software is more popular and older; by the way, VkButton was created exclusively for inviting people from a group to a meeting on VKontakte. The program is a veteran in its niche and has been around since 2009. Many event organizers have not even used VkBot, remaining faithful to this extension. The problem with this expansion previously was the lack of invitations according to the criteria, but everything has changed. Recently, a new version of the extension with targeting capabilities has been released.
Peculiarities:
- The speed of work is at the same level as VkBot, if not better;
- The newsletter interface, although it is an extension, is similar to VkBot, which is pleasant for users of the fallen automation leader VKontakte;
- There is an offset function (“Which user should I start sending?”) and pause;
- There is work based on criteria;
- Payment is made once and you always use the software, without being tied to a specific computer;
The program is paid, the cost is $15 for a lifetime license. . PS PRO 2 version with invitations based on criteria will cost a little more.
Inviter program
The Inviter program is very young and from the first days of its creation it was distinguished by the number of its functions. The program, like the extension above, was created exclusively for pumping events; nothing else from the functionality was crammed into it. Here, narrow specialization is the key to quality, so to speak!
Let's look at the program according to its components:
- Fast invitation speed;
- The program provides targeting options, which means you can invite to a meeting based on criteria (country, city, gender);
- The developers have created their own personal account, where various anti-captcha services are built in (the choice automatically falls on the one that is currently cheaper). This means that you only need to replenish one single account and do not need to bother with anti-captcha keys;
- The program has the ability to skip those who have already been invited;
- You can always pause and continue later;
The program is paid (300 rubles / month), but you will have 3 days of free trial, as well as initially 10 rubles. on anti-captcha.
How to avoid blocking your VKontakte account?
Since blocking for sending private messages occurs when the recipient clicks the “This is spam” button, it is important not to provoke such a desire in him. We are sure that for this it is enough to follow the rules:
- Carefully approach the issue of choosing the target audience (this is discussed in lesson 13)
- 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 shore of Lake Baikal in the village of N.
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 group https://vk.com/gruppa/
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:
I recently launched my website https://adres_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.
