How to add people to a public page. How to invite friends to a VKontakte group

The popular social network VKontakte is developing rapidly every day. Numerous users use it not only to communicate with their friends and meet new people, but also to conduct business. By opening a community on VKontakte, people who have started their own business, with the help of numerous subscribers, have the opportunity to promote their services or products. To do this, you should properly promote your community and invite large number participants. And you should start by sending invitations to the group to your friends.

Inviting a group of friends is a simple process that is accessible to everyone. But sometimes people do not know how to do this or experience unexpected difficulties in this matter. They will be helped useful tips, allowing not only to solve the problems that have arisen, but also to get many subscribers in a fairly short period of time.

Difficulties with inviting friends to a group on VKontakte

You can only send invitations to the group to your friends. A user outside the contact list can only write a message or invite him to the group, diligently advertising it in other communities with similar topics. This is a rather complex process that requires, in addition to a lot of time, the expenditure of financial resources.

You should know that there are limits on sending invitations to a group on VKontakte. So, having invited forty people, the user will be able to continue sending out invitations only after a day.

The "Invite Friends" button is missing

From time to time, having decided to send invitations to friends, the user discovers that the corresponding button is missing. Instead, the “You are subscribed” notification lights up and two options are offered - “Unsubscribe” and “Hide news”.

The reason for this difficulty is that the user, when creating the community, made it a public page, not a group. And this status automatically excludes the possibility of inviting subscribers through a special button.

How to add an “Invite Friends” button to a VKontakte group

To be able to invite friends, you should install the appropriate button. This is done as follows.

You need to go to the community and open the menu located below the group photo. There is a special option there for changing a public page into a group. By clicking on it, the user will receive a notification that the next time he will be able to perform this action only after thirty days. Next to his mobile the phone will come message with a code confirming the action. After specifying these numbers in the appropriate field, the community will change its status, and the user will see the necessary button and will be able to invite friends.

How to get invitations to a group

Since in social network there is a limit on the number of people who can be invited to the group; recruiting subscribers and promoting the community will take long time. To avoid this, you should use subscriber boost.

There are several ways to increase invitations to a group of friends. One of them is the use of the local mutual aid system “I will enter mutually”. To do this you need to do the following:

• open the search for communities and search for groups whose administrators offer to join their group in exchange for a similar action,
• Having found a suitable offer, you need to send a message to the head of the community about your agreement to mutually beneficial cooperation.

All that remains is to wait for the return service from the partner.

This process has a number of significant disadvantages.

Firstly, no one guarantees that, having received a new subscriber, a person will respond in kind and fulfill his obligation.

Secondly, this is a rather lengthy process.

Thirdly, it is possible that new subscriber will leave a group that is uninteresting to him in a few days, this is usually what happens.

• registration on the portal;
• completing a number of assigned tasks. As a rule, you need to join a group, like or repost a post.

The user earns points for completed tasks.

Having collected the required amount, he can purchase subscribers to join his community.

In some ways, this process is reminiscent of the usual increase in subscribers in groups, but the significant difference is that people who complete their tasks do not subsequently leave the communities they joined. The disadvantage of this method is that it takes a lot of time, causing some inconvenience.

Sending invitations to the community on VKontakte

Sending invitations to a group on VK is the most effective and convenient way promotion of both the community and business in general.

Having created mass mailing, the user will advertise his products or services to many users and this is a great advantage. Another advantage of this method is searching for subscribers by interests, gender, location, age.

To create your own newsletter, please contact specialized services. One of the most convenient and safest is Bosslike. Specialists can help you set up your mailing list; they will competently select the necessary parameters to select the most suitable audience for the community.

You need to understand that incorrect actions to increase subscribers can lead to blocking of the group.

After setting up the newsletter, new subscribers will begin to appear in the community. Now it's up to its creator. By filling the group with high-quality and interesting content, he contributes to the emergence of new members who join the group voluntarily.

Invitations to the group to participate in the competition

In addition to the methods described above, you can promote your community and gain new subscribers by inviting people to take part in a competition. This method works very well, and it is not at all necessary to buy an expensive prize.

To notify social network users about the competition, you should create a corresponding post containing information about the prize and the date of the draw, and then publish it as soon as possible more groups. It is necessary to establish the condition that in order to participate, you must repost the entry on your wall, save it until the end of the draw, and also join the community. You can select the winner of the competition using a special program.

Bottom line

So one of good ways developing your own business - creating a group on VKontakte and promoting it. To learn about services or products as much as possible more people, you need to attract subscribers. There are a large number of ways to do this; which one to choose is up to the owner of the group. It is better to try them all and choose the most effective one. The result will be a large number of users in the community.

Many questions arise. One of them is dedicated to filling the group with live participants. Moreover, users must be really interested in the topics of the community.

Inviting friends to the group- one of the most effective and free methods community promotion.

How to invite friends to a group on VK

You can invite to the group only your friends. It will not be possible to send an invitation to users who are not friends.

Every 24 hours you can invite to 40 people to any groups from one account. You can first choose their interests and then invite them to the community.

This will provide high-quality and productive traffic for your group. After all, users themselves decide whether to join the community or not.

But be careful: over-adding strangers as friends and sending them invitations may result in temporary account blocking.

To invite to a group on VK our friends, do the following:

1. Go to the community, to which we want to invite friends.

2. Join it (If you are not a leader), click on the inscription "You're in a band" and select the link "Invite friends."

3. A list of your friends will open, from where and We send invitations.

• If you wish, you can cancel invitation;

If you need invite friends to the group according to certain criteria (age, gender, interests), then click on the link.

A list of all your friends will open. We select friends through “Options” according to certain criteria and click next to them "Invite to group."

As I already said, you can send per day up to 40invitations. If you try to add more, you will see a message like this.

And, if you see such an inscription.

• This means that your friend limited the circle of persons who can invite to communities;

Invite to a VK group from your phone also very simple:

1. We open a community in which you need to send invitations.

2. On the right top corner click on the ellipsis.

3. We invite our friends to the group with a simple by clicking on the first and last name.

• Selecting criteria with mobile phone impossible;

I can’t invite friends to the VK group

If you decide to invite friends to the group, but instead see this picture (there is no button "invite friends").

This means that you are not a member of a group, but a public page (public).

• You cannot invite friends to public pages;

But there is a way out: you can safely invite friends in just one click (if you are the owner of a public page).

Remember: it depends on the real participants, so invite those friends who will find the community’s material interesting and useful.

Cheating invitations to a VKontakte group

Since invitations to the group are limited to one user (up to 40 people per day) and you can only invite friends to the group, then you can resort to getting subscribers.

Among all the services providing such services, I chose the 2 most worthy ones (February 2019). I think you've already heard about them.

Sending invitations to a group on VK

If you want to use the Inviting service, I can recommend one of best programs to promote communities.

Has a huge amount useful functions(autoposting, liking, inviting, parser, mailing, liker).

One of my favorite features is inviting. Using this function, you can set up mass mailing of invitations to a group of users or friends.

Moreover, there will be no account blocking for suspicious activity due to simulating the work of a living person.

Inviting users the community is very in an efficient way group promotion. What do you think about this?

Not long ago we told how. Creating a community is as easy as shelling pears, as you can see, but the same cannot be said about its further development. After all, you need to not only fill the group with interesting content, but also somehow promote it. First of all, you can invite your friends to it, since VKontakte allows you to send them invitations.

Let us immediately draw your attention to some important nuances. Firstly, publics do not have an “Invite Friends” button, so in order for it to appear, the public must be transferred to a group. Secondly, you are allowed to invite no more than 40 users from your friends list per day. Finally, users themselves decide whether to join your community.

If you are satisfied with all these nuances, then let's go!

We invite friends to the community

First of all, you need to go to the group (not to the public!). On the right side of the screen, under your avatar, you will see a menu. It has a button “You are in a group.” Click on it, it will appear additional menu, in which you need to select “Invite friends”.

The invite friends window will open. Opposite each user there is a “Send an invitation” button. Click on it to invite a particular user.

Please note that you will not be able to send an invitation to some users. If you see the message “The user has limited the circle of those who can invite him to communities” on the screen, this means that the user has limited the circle of people who can send him invitations.

You can go to general list friends. To do this, click on the “Invite friends from the full list” link.

In this case, you will be taken to the friends page, where you can select users as you wish. For example, you can select the user's city (this is important if you are creating a group tied to a specific city or region), gender, age, etc. To invite, click “Invite group.”

Why can't I invite friends?

You cannot invite friends in several cases, which we have already mentioned.

First, public pages do not have an “Invite Friends” button.

For the button to appear, you must.

Secondly, the user can limit the circle of people who can send him invitations.

Thirdly, you may have reached your daily invitation limit.

At first, when we created a group or public, we just need to get hold of the first participants and invite friends to our group in contact. Yes, so that it is safe and effective.

In this article I will show you how to invite the first hundred people to a group. Your community will already become popular and, with proper further development, will begin to bring you money.

That's why, next step After creating, designing and filling out the main content of the group, you begin adding friends to the group!

How to add friends to a group in contact - 2 simple steps

First, let's talk about how to add friends to groups. The features of adding friends to public pages will be discussed below.

Interestingly, you can send invitations to friends to the group both if you are its leader, administrator, moderator or editor, and if you have nothing to do with the administration of the group.
Read about the difference between a group and a public here (LINK).

Step 1

We go to the VK group to which you need to send invitations.
A prerequisite is that we must be members of the group, i.e. you need to join it first.

So, we find the button under the cover - “You are a participant”
Click it, select from the drop-down list - “invite friends”

Step 2

Now, we simply click “invite” next to each friend we want to add to the group.
At this step, you can set a friend filter.

If a group, for example, is about women’s hairstyles, then we don’t need male friends in the group, then we set a filter by gender - as in the screenshot:


You can also filter friends by city and age.

Usually, they write everywhere that you can only invite 40 friends once per day.
In fact, this is not entirely true. After just 8 hours, the system considers that another day has come and the ability to send invitations to friends to the group opens again 

Thus, you can invite 40 friends in the morning and evening on the same day.

During invitations, you will often see a so-called captcha - it’s not scary. We do everything that is required there (we tick the box that I’m not a robot, point to necessary pictures and forward).


Sometimes, after clicking on the “invite” button, a message like this will appear:

This means that the person in his account settings has set a ban on inviting his loved one to groups. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to invite him to our group using this method.

Tips for safely inviting friends to a group

There is always a risk that a friend will be dissatisfied with the fact that we invited him to this or that group.
This means that he can click on the “spam” button, and if there are several such people a day, the administration in Contact can freeze your account – for the first time for several hours, and then for several days and even weeks.

To prevent this from happening, you can take precautions:

• We invite only those friends who are potentially the target audience of the group (for this we set a filter, as described above)
  The system allows you to invite 40 people at a time, but we can play it safe and invite a little less.
• You can create another account in which we obviously make the friends we need and send invitations to friends to the group in contact from it.
• You can ask your loved ones to make several invitations to their friends to join our group. Warning in advance not to get carried away with this and invite no more than 10-20 people per day, so as not to end up in spam.

Invited friends will see the number “1” next to the “Groups” item on their page. And a certain percentage of those invited will definitely accept our invitation.

Usually, if the group is commercial, then the participation rate is about 20 - 30% of those invited.
And if there is a group for interests, for communication, etc. then 50–60% join.
It all depends on how close the audience of our friends is to target audience groups.

I repeat once again: all of the above applies only to this type of contact communities as a group. If you have a public page, then everything is different.

How to invite friends to a public page in contact, or how to invite friends to a group in contact if this column is not there

If you don’t have a “invite friends” column in your group, then this is not a group at all, but a public page or, as it is also called, a public page.
Here you have 2 options:

You can “tell your friends” about the group in this way several times from time to time so that you can appear in their news more often and remind them of yourself. 

How to invite friends to a group in contact from your phone - 2 options

It is also possible to invite friends to a group in contact from your phone. Let's consider 2 options:

Option 1. Invitations from the Kate Mobile app

• Go to the “Groups” tab in the application
• We select the group to which we want to make invitations (namely a group and not a public one)
• Click the button with three dots in the upper right corner
• Select from the drop-down menu - “invite a friend”
• We put a tick next to the names of those friends whom we want to invite to the group

Option 2. Invitations from the browser on your phone

• We go to the browser from the phone, usually I use Chrome
• IN search bar type in: “vk”, or “in contact” or “vkontakte” - there is no difference
• Login to our account
• Click the button in the upper left corner with three lines
• In the drop-down menu select " Full version" To find this item, you need to scroll down a little
• Now, you see the page in contact in the same way as on a computer, and you have all the necessary functionality, including invitations to the group.

And we already know from the first half of this article how to invite friends via VKontakte from a computer.

Now you know how to invite friends to a group in contact and how to add friends to a group in contact and to public. And also, you know how to invite friends to a group in contact from your phone. 

If you don’t know how to add discussions in a group, I invite you to read the article.

I wish you many subscribers and that your audience loves your group, so that the group is quickly replenished with target members who make purchases from you - regularly! 

- tips for beginners

- detailed instructions

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.

1. 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:

1. 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.

1. 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.

Cons:

1. 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.
2. 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 other personal messages sent by you different people on this day, they may also be automatically detected as spam and then the recipient will not receive them.

How to avoid blocking your VKontakte account?

1. Carefully approach the issue of choosing the target audience (this is discussed in)
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Remain human: say hello, address your interlocutor by name, and apologize at the end for disturbing you.
5. 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.”
6. 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 good message, but it has a number of disadvantages. 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 counterproposals we are talking about and therefore the last two sentences are very similar to the ready-made cliché 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 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 will 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 who have closed invitations to the group in the usual way. Invite at least 20 non-friends. Analyze the effect.
