Popular VK groups for girls are beautiful. How famous public pages work on VKontakte

On October 10, the social network VKontakte turned ten years old. One of the main gifts that VK has given to the Russian Internet over the years is, of course, public pages. They became sources of memes, learned about new music and fashion trends in public pages, watched TV series, and iconic ones grew from public pages and went offline. On the occasion of the anniversary of the social network, The Village employees, friends of the editors and people who spend a lot of time on social networks talk about their favorite and simply the best public sites in the world.

Ten public pages about music

Kirill Mazhai, journalist

« And others »

Journal "Seance"

The page of the best black and white film magazine in Russia should be in the subscriptions of every respectable cinephile.

A-One Films

A public page of our friends, thanks to whom we see the most anticipated films of the season in the Russian box office. They also give away a lot of prizes from film festivals.

Four public areas for ravers

Yulia Ruzmanova, news editor of The Village

« Technomarasm »

My favorite public for technosnobs. Here they make fun of visitors Ouline, Ninoy Kravitz And those who are looking for the difference between techno and rave. They also periodically go through sloppy articles and statements on the topic of raves (probably now they’ll go over me too).

« Technogallery »

Here they discuss the current raver stuff: Villalobos, Berghain, gabber and hairdryer in the paintings of Rene Magritte, Fabian Perez and other classics. Sometimes it turns out cool, although updates appear quite rarely.

« WE'RE GOING »

“WYIDEM” writes about interesting parties and exhibitions in the capital and advertises fashionable clothes. They do this quite straightforwardly, without the usual harsh or humorous tone that is present in almost all such public pages and Telegram channels. This is what I miss, but their selections of events for the weekend are really complete - I watch them, and feel free to skip the rest of the posts.

« Proud faces of Russian rave »

A sort of Lumpen agency at a rave without the right lighting and poses, and just a Castalian key for avatars and stupid comments.

The Seven Most Important Publications of the Era

Kirill Savinov, journalist, presenter of the column “Revision of VKontakte”
on the VOS website

During the existence of the “VKontakte Revision” on VOS, I reviewed so many public pages that I can’t even remember, and even now I still have about 600 subscribers. There is a feeling that now there are fewer interesting communities appearing. Two years ago there was a real peak. But the existing publics are actively developing. If we talk about valuable and beloved, here it is:

mom's spaghetti

There are thousands of communities on VK where they retell jokes from Reddit and Tumblr, and this is one of them. At Spaghetti, the admins have excellent taste and a sense of timing. And they don’t know limits, and in memes this is most important.

CLIQUE

The most fashionable public page about popular culture, TV series, superheroes, neon noir and other current things. The creators are also making their own videos, like a trailer and a teaser for the imaginary third season of True Detective. True, now “Click” has become too big, imposing and clumsy. Well, really, how many photos can you publish of actors from the series Shameless!

« SHE COLLAPSE »

I don’t want to offend anyone, but this community fulfills an educational mission more powerful than all the Open Universities and Yeltsin Centers combined. Thanks to “Wrecked,” you can immerse yourself in the period of the late 80s - early 90s, learn something interesting about the war in Karabakh, the first Russian magazines about gay culture, unusual clips with the participation of Zhirinovsky, and so on ad infinitum. A real breath of freedom.

« Leo Tolstoy. The secret of success »

Quotes from the diaries of Lev Nikolaevich with beautiful collages. The most motivating read on the Internet. Tolstoy accuses himself of lack of talent, lust, greed, and inability to write a single line. He's just like us.

« Vykhinsky criticism of French thought »

I still don’t understand whether this is really a website project of the HSE Faculty of Philosophy or not. In any case, they make great jokes about philosophy.

« Trolleybus Simulator »

Web punk classic. The content matches the title.

« Makeup tips from David Bowie »

David Bowie gives advice on appearance and image. The advice is extremely gentle and kind, and most importantly - useful. After Bowie's death, you read this community with some special warmth.

Five public pages about the diversity of life

Nikolay Kononov, editor-in-chief of the publication "The Secret of the Firm", author of the book "The Durov Code"

« Russian intelligentsia »

I’m already the 25th person to write about the “Russian intelligentsia,” but what can I do? This is success when people look into public pages in search of themselves and are upset if they don’t find them.

« Fat dogs and love quotes »

I encouraged my daughter Vera (10 years old) to sign up.

« classmates are arguing »

You have to remember where you live.

« Coin »

I'm following my idol!

« Philological maiden »

Old love never rusts.

Ten public pages with memes and complex jokes

Roman Bordunov, SMM editor at Amediateka, founder of the community “

On October 10, Pavel Durov’s social network “VKontakte” turns ten years old. Over the past years, this platform survived the departure of its creator, became part of the Mail.Ru holding and underwent significant transformation. Now VKontakte allows you not only to communicate with friends, but also unites strangers by interests in different public pages. These include both public pages on a very specific topic with a couple of hundred subscribers, and groups with hundreds of thousands of members and which have spawned new trends in the offline world. The Motherland festival, rapper Pharaoh, VV17CHØU7 parties and “Slaughterhouse” are just some of the phenomena that originated and actively developed on the social network. The Village spoke with the creators of MDK, “Russia without us”, “Goal: 1 billion rubles in a year” and other large publics that grew into musical associations, businesses and media, starting on VKontakte.

When did we start attracting investments? It turned out that they read me too
and investment bankers, -
by the way, one of them became our private investor

Ayaz Shabutdinov, creator of the public and holding company Like: I am 24 years old and I am the founder of the Like holding. According to RBC, at the end of 2015 we occupied 8.2% of the market in the “Coffee to go” segment in Russia. We have more than 1,200 beds in hostels in the CIS. We have attracted more than 80 million rubles of investment in our projects. They became semi-finalists of the international entrepreneurial award EQ GSEA and the School of Young Billionaires by Forbes magazine, and were nominated for the RBC Award in the Startup of the Year category. Revenue from all projects and the franchise network from January to July 2016: 507 million 428 thousand 580 rubles. The publishing house Mann, Ivanov and Ferber plans to publish my book. If it weren’t for the blog on VKontakte, nothing would most likely have happened.

In 2013, namely on January 1, inspired by the story of the founder of Dodo Pizza, Fyodor Ovchinnikov, I decided to start doing business publicly. The blog needed some kind of provocative name; “Diary of an Entrepreneur,” “Business Quote Book” and other formats did not arouse interest, so I decided to do something more daring. This is how the blog “Goal: 2 million rubles per year” appeared. The next year it was called “Goal: 30 million rubles per year” and, finally, “Goal: 1 billion rubles per year.” On the blog we publish financial reports on the work of companies. And the name changed based on our financial goals. When the blog was created, there was no such format yet, then a thousand clone blogs appeared in which guys set themselves such goals.

Such openness is both a motivator and an obligation to be responsible. In the summer of 2015, we were experiencing a big box office gap, and I can say with confidence that if it weren’t for personal responsibility to hundreds of thousands of people and the moral support of subscribers, it would have been much more difficult to get out of the nosedive we entered due to rapid growth business.

Subscribers saw how I assembled beds for the first hostel three years ago, participated in the creation of the concept, and together we chose the name of the company. Now I am sharing with them the results of a meeting with people from Silicon Valley, describing how our partners cheated us, how we are suing over a new bill banning the placement of hostels in residential buildings, how after the 2014 crisis and the fall of the ruble we closed travel agencies and I I'm still paying off the company's debts. Because of this, each person feels included.

Everyone can contribute to the development of our business. For example, we are now developing a network of barbershops, and 200 subscribers acted as a focus group. When we started attracting investments, it turned out that investment bankers also read me - by the way, one of them became our private investor. Every month we make about 400 thousand purchases, from coffee to pizza. Among the buyers, of course, there are blog subscribers.

I get feedback all the time, which is something many other entrepreneurs don't get. For example, after buying coffee, we gave a receipt with the phone number of the general director: if suddenly a person was poorly served, he could call the director of the company directly. So during the whole time there was, if I’m not mistaken, only one call. But I receive thousands of messages directly or in comments. This allows for continuous improvement. There is such a book “A Complaint as a Gift” - it’s about this. People see that we are far from perfect, but there is a colossal difference between what it was two or three years ago and what we have now. And this is also the merit of the blog’s subscribers on VKontakte - criticism on the matter allows us to become better every day.

The blog also helps fill vacancies. Once, a good HR manager and I assembled a sales department of 17 people in a week. As for product sales, the blog on VKontakte is one of the key channels. This was even written about in the “Company Secret”. Depending on the product, revenue that comes from sales through a blog on VKontakte can reach up to 30% of all sales.

I have now returned from Silicon Valley, where I went to study the experience of accelerators. We launched ours in Moscow. Most of the participants in the first stream are entrepreneurs from the blog. Among them, for example, is a company not from Russia with revenues of more than a billion rubles and a staff of 300 employees. As a result, we have the right to purchase 24.9% of the stake in the company at its current value. We are currently negotiating with the guys who own a chain of hotels in Kenya - they were valued at $4 million. It is difficult to say how much money such deals will bring in in the future. But many of them are born thanks to our publicity and blogging on VKontakte.

Motherland is my main job now. Every morning
I'm starting
from listening to a couple of dozen new performers

Maxim Stepakov, founder: I liked this whole wave of new domestic music - Motorama, Manicure, Narkotiki, Galway, Magnetic Poetry, Ifwe. In 2012, there was no community yet that could add some coherence to this whole movement. Then I decided to start creating such a community myself. To begin with, everything was done at the level of the Motherland track blog.

The public shot almost immediately. People had no idea that there was so much cool music in Russia. A few months later we started holding concerts and small festivals. Our first event is the Fatherland picnic in the Nagatinskaya floodplain. “Hostel”, “Lisichkin Bread” and others performed there. Our subscribers came there and brought blankets, homemade cookies, tea and lemonade. Then we held the first club concert at the Chocolate Factory - together with the groups Ruble Gang, Region 77, and Serdtseder.

Soon we were noticed by various journalists, publications, and art directors of clubs.
In February 2013, Shurik Gorbachev called us to a meeting and suggested running our own personalized column “Motherland Playlist” on the Afisha website (and “Map of the Motherland” later on Vozdukh). This was an incentive for further development.

In June 2013, we found sponsors (two large companies) and held the first big festival, Motherland Summer 2013, on the territory of the Flacon design plant. The lineup was powerful: On-The-Go, Motorama, SBPC, The Retuses, Tesla Boy, EIMIC, Sonic Death, Trud, Lemonday, Human Tetris and many others. The very next year we didn’t have to look for sponsors - Motherland Summer 2014 in Muzeon Park was held with the support of the city.

Motherland is my main job now. Every morning I start by listening to a couple dozen new artists. Today four people are involved in the public: me, two editors and my assistant. Every year we hold several festivals, periodically organize city holidays, such as City Day, Christmas, Russia Day, and hold concerts and parties. Of course, we continue to introduce subscribers to new groups in our public. All posts in the public were published and are published free of charge. Motherland Summer is a festival with free entry. Almost all other events are paid.

It seems to me that we have radically changed the attitude towards domestic bands, and every city now has its own wonderful musicians. When we started the public, most people had foreign performers in their audio recordings. Now every second person has “Buerak”, “Killers”, Pompeya, Summer of Haze or “Pasosh” in his audio recordings on VKontakte.

The social network VKontakte has “bloomed” on the Internet so rapidly that many of the communities that users join have thousands, or even millions, of participants. The influence of this social network on huge masses of people is so strong that advertising on this resource can compete in effectiveness with television advertising.

The changes associated with the transition to the new VKontakte design are described at the end of the article.

Popular VKontakte groups unite people with completely different interests; their focus is surprisingly diverse: from women’s clubs and handicraft “circles” to groups on philosophy and the universe. Therefore, if you do not clearly know what exactly you are looking for, then under the influence of advertising appeals, you can easily get lost in them, like in the Bermuda Triangle.

How to find a community on VKontakte

The easiest way to find a community that you like is through the search function provided on the site. Click “Communities” in the menu at the top and you will immediately see a list of popular communities in front of you. In the search, you need to type the query you are interested in, for example, and you will see all the corresponding groups.

They will be shown according to the rating, which is calculated depending on the number of participants and subscribers. Here you can also set a search filter by specifying country and city. In the menu on the left you can choose to search by community type. In addition to VKontakte groups, there are also public pages and meetings (almost the same as a group, but dedicated to a specific event).

But it's not that simple. In the list of “popular communities” you will not necessarily find all the best groups in contact; do not forget that the site is a treasure trove for those who are looking for an audience for advertising. Therefore, many interesting and popular groups are not present in the search due to the fact that they are too carried away with the placement of advertising information.

How can this be? How to find groups where all the most interesting things happen. Shouldn’t they wait forever for one of their friends to recommend them and invite them to join?

Where to quickly find a popular group on VKontakte

Even if the VKontakte policy does not allow you to see the real picture, third-party resources will help you do this.

For example, there is a convenient service socialboard.ru/stat, where you can see it. The service has:

Update:

For some time now, search on VK has changed. Now it's just a text string with a magnifying glass. Enter the name of the group into it, a quick search will be performed throughout VK. To search only communities, press Enter after entering text. A detailed search will open, where there will be categories: “Audio recordings”, “People”, “Communities” and so on.

The well-known and promoted VKontakte community is a good way to make money. The most popular groups on VK have long been not just entertainment, but a stable, well-established business. To achieve great heights, you need to work long and systematically, and use free methods only at the start with extreme caution. What is the secret of such groups and who needs it?

TOP 5 most famous communities of 2018

A selection of the most visited million-plus communities on the social network VKontakte is current in September 2018. Data from the statistical page http://vktoppost.ru/.

Criteria for the popularity of a VK group

The most obvious sign of why a group made it to the TOP is the number of its subscribers. But sometimes, when searching for the desired community, you can observe an interesting situation: the system gives several options and the largest group is not in first place. There are several reasons for this:

1. Small amount of spam (advertising).
2. Optimization. Content oversaturated with keywords also falls into the background, while competent texts bring the page to the top positions.
3. No “dead” subscribers. The system understands well which participants are active and which are needed simply for weight. Such accounts are deleted automatically, which reduces the chances of getting to the TOP.

From which we can conclude that only systematic work and a competent approach to business will give lasting results.

8 secrets of interesting groups on VK

The algorithm for selecting groups is quite complex, and the creators do not disclose it to the general public in order to avoid manipulation. For a group to become interesting to people, the following conditions must be met:

VK group rating

Groups get to the highest positions for a reason. Several factors are taken into account when sampling:

• number of subscribers;
• audience coverage by period;
• growth and activity of participants;

• frequency of publications;
• presence and date of the last ban;
• geo-location of visitors.

All these factors, with the right approach, can be used wisely.

Why is the popularity of the VK group needed?

A VK group at the very beginning can become an easy excuse to unwind. Smart entrepreneurs act for the future and monetize popularity.

VKontakte is a social media project. Like any media outlet, they make a lot of money from advertising. The formula is simple: popular numerous communities charge a very tidy sum for one advertising post. Advertising can be hidden or explicit, and have any form: post, link. In the end, if you get tired of this whole thing, you can do like Pasha Durov. He sold his disgusting business and moved to the islands to live out a happy old age. Here are some entertaining pictures for you on VK!
