Don’t reveal all your cards in the “Interests” column!
Your interests should contain many mysteries, which you will give only to the most worthy, and not to those who just happened to...
If you know how to find brightness, leave it in the information about your interests! Any word that you leave means a lot to any person who visited your page.
Don't adapt to others! Your fantasy is your fantasy. There is no need to think about the fact that someone will not be happy with something. It is important that everything you write suits you personally.
How to work with the VKontakte advertising account
You need to go to your advertising account through the “Advertising” section and select “Create an ad.”
VKontakte offers three options for placing advertisements.
Community Advertising
For this type of advertising, you must have community administrator rights. To launch an advertising campaign, select “Community”, and then indicate the desired group.
There are four types of ads for promotion:
- picture with text;
- large illustration;
- community promotion;
- special format.
All types of advertisements, except the last one, are displayed to the user in the left corner near the control panel. The special format appears in other communities with similar topics and is displayed in the news feed.
Each type of ad shows the community avatar, the number of subscribers, you can also select images and add a short description of the page.
Advertising a post in the community
VKontakte has added a new promotion method that allows you to advertise hidden posts. They appear in the user feed, but are not published in the community itself. This type of advertising is effective when promoting a variety of products that you don’t want to clog up the group’s feed, but at the same time they can be relevant to potential customers. You can create several banners for testing to identify the most effective advertising strategy.
Advertising an external site
To create an ad in this format, you need to use a link to the resource page. To track clicks and conversions, the link must contain UTM tags. With their help, you can calculate conversion based on conversion statistics and analyze the progress of the advertising campaign.
There are only two formats available for this type of advertising: large image or image and text.
When filling out “interests” on VKontakte, remember that you need to be yourself!
Don't lie, don't embellish, don't act like a star. Your sincerity is your weapon. She is so missed on the planet. The fact that you can be sincere is your dignity, dear.
My friend, while filling out a “story” and hobbies about himself, came up with a very original trick!
Do you know what he did?
He simply “inserted” the opinions of people (friends, colleagues, classmates and acquaintances) about him right above his hobbies. This greatly attracted the attention of many people. It wasn't a distraction! He simply created a “decoration” for his further “letter actions.”
There can be thousands of such “attractors” of attention...
And you, of course, will come up with something interesting if you try.
Let's move on to the interests themselves!
VKontakte - a social network for schoolchildren?
While another popular Russian social network, Odnoklassniki, has a reputation as a site “for retirees,” VKontakte suffers from the opposite stereotype—that “one of the school kids hangs out here.” Because of this, the platform is often not taken seriously, because what can be taken from unreasonable children and teenagers who sit here due to carelessness and insufficient study load?
If we move away from “couch sociology” and turn to professional sociologists, then a completely different picture will open to our eyes. According to media experts, the VKontakte audience today covers almost the entire population of Russia and some other countries of the former USSR. VK attracts users with ease, convenience and intuitiveness of use. It is noteworthy that the ranks of VKontakte continue to be replenished by users of other social networks. For example, in recent years, the so-called upper segment of the audience has moved to the territory of VKontakte - educated, solvent citizens who previously, as a rule, preferred Facebook. The share of users in the age category 35+, who were traditionally considered the inhabitants of Odnoklassniki, has also increased. At the same time, of course, different age groups are not homogeneously represented on the social network.
Who makes up the core of the VKontakte audience? According to some estimates, these are people 18–24 years old, and there is a trend of gradual maturation of the audience. According to other estimates, these are people 25–34 years old, which, by the way, coincides with the core audience of Odnoklassniki. In any case, talking about VK.com as a social network for schoolchildren today is stupid. Apparently, this stereotype goes back to 2007, when young people actually spent hours on VKontakte and produced relevant “youth” content. Since even today the most viral content begins to spread from old public pages launched back in the era of “schoolchildren,” the site cannot completely free itself from its “school” image.
It is important to understand that schoolchildren who mastered the social network almost ten years ago have since grown up and become students, or have even already received degrees in higher education. Currently, VK users are quite mature, socially and economically active people.
It is also interesting to look at statistics on geography. According to representatives of VKontakte, the social network is used in all regions of the Russian Federation, as well as in the countries of the Customs Union, near and far abroad. Among Runet users, the social network “VKontakte” is most loved by residents of large and medium-sized cities – the leaders can be expected to be seen in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Nizhny Novgorod and other megacities. An interesting detail: on average, each user spends about 40 minutes on the social network every day, and spends this time very actively - reading news, creating content and communicating in dialogues.
To summarize, we can say that the target audience of VKontakte is current or “yesterday’s” students, young professionals and people of early middle age. As for geography, here too the site practically knows no boundaries. The social network is a little more interesting to Muscovites and St. Petersburg residents than the somewhat provincial Odnoklassniki, but it is also very popular in the regions.
Interests on VKontakte - what to write?
You can write about how much you love the sea. But write about it, for example, in poetic form, so that it won’t be as boring as others.
To distinguish yourself, write about your love for nature in English or any other language. It will not only be beautiful, but also intriguing and educational.
You can write with quotes
Exactly those that are close to your soul or your heart. Whichever quote “runs” through your head, write that one.
Don’t think too long: the longer you think, the more insincere your words will be. You can't even lie to yourself. It will be difficult to get out of any lie later.
VKontakte targeting capabilities
This tool makes it possible to divide the target audience into thematic segments. Today, there are dozens of interest categories on VKontakte, and the developers of the social network regularly expand their list to make targeting even more accurate. Now we can identify not just users with certain interests, but participants in competitive or related communities. This is a great opportunity to show advertising banners to your competitor's subscribers.
In the settings for searching people by interests on VKontakte, the “Except” option is available. It allows you to filter out communities that should not be included in the analysis. Most often, this option is used to exclude your own community. You also need to pay attention to the “Applications and Sites” item, as it makes it possible to direct advertising to users of specific applications and sites. Using the “Travelers” item, you can highlight users who often change their country of residence.
Questions that are often asked about the interests of VKontakte
- Is it possible to write funny things about yourself?

Answer to the first question:
It's fun to write - you can. If you like to make jokes and use humor to the fullest, no one will forbid you to do this. Moreover, the page is your personal space for creativity. You can do whatever you want on your Internet lawns.
Answer to the second question:
If you have something to write, write! But write beautifully, competently and tastefully, from the heart. People feel every letter of the word you write. If you realize that there is nothing to write, do not try to “torture” both yourself and the page.

About the benefits of interest targeting
For effective advertising, take into account the interests and behavior of VKontakte users. This is necessary to analyze the competition in the niche, as well as understand your target audience. This work increases conversion and reduces the cost of attracting one client.
The importance of targeting cannot be underestimated, so this work must be approached with full responsibility. The VKontakte social network today offers advertisers more than 40 options for audience segmentation. At the same time, you can sort users by one or several parameters at once, which maximizes the coverage of the target group. Likes, video views, transitions, reposts and other user activity are recorded by the social network. The data is then analyzed and translated into targeting tools. All information is regularly updated, which is necessary to update the ability to configure targeted advertising.
Targeting allows the advertiser to determine the parameters for displaying ads based on the interests of the target audience. As a result, the percentage of “junk” clicks is reduced, which means that the advertising budget is spent more efficiently.

How to run targeted advertising on VKontakte
To start targeting on VKontakte you need:
- Go to the “Advertising” section.
- Select "Create ad". If you have access to the agency's account, the link will lead to it, and not to the home page. In this case, the desired client is selected from the list.
- Specify the ad format.
Selecting an ad format
The format is related to the placement of the ad: in the news feed or on a website page. You can promote your ad in different ways:
- Carousel - advertising consists of two to ten images, each can contain a link to the landing page and its own signature.
- Universal recording - it allows you to use photos, videos and animations in GIF format.
- Post with a button. This is a post containing a photo or video, followed by a call to action with a corresponding “More details” button.
- Collection of applications. The user goes to a questionnaire, after filling which he is offered the most suitable product or service, an initial consultation, etc.
The choice of format is related to the advertised object: group, application or third-party site.
Setting the parameters of the advertised object
This section is completed as follows:
- The topic is selected.
- Provide a link to a counter that records the number of impressions.
- An age limit is set.
Definition of target audience
The audience is determined based on the above parameters. Segmentation helps you achieve maximum relevance of your offer by appealing only to interested users.
VKontakte shows the number of users meeting the specified parameters and a forecast regarding the number of coverage and impressions. In this section, you can either add certain categories of users to the list of target audiences or exclude them completely.
Setting up a show schedule
Standard recommendations in this direction are 24/7 advertising for seven days. However, in some cases it is necessary to impose restrictions on the display of ads. For example, in the evening, at night, on weekends or holidays, when the company’s office is not working and cannot process incoming applications.
Payment model, price setting and site selection
In this section, you select your preferred payment method: per click or per impression.
You also need to indicate whether the advertisements will be visible on the website, in the application, in the desktop version, whether the advertisement will be available to users of affiliate networks or will remain only on VKontakte.
