High-quality thematic posts are the key to successful promotion of the VKontakte group. Useful and interesting content published in the community increases the interest of users in visiting the group daily.

Also, a well-written post has a high chance of going viral. In this case, community subscribers begin to share it with friends on the social network, repost it to their personal pages and the walls of other, more popular groups.

How to publish a post in your group

The easiest way is to write messages on behalf of the VKontakte group, if you are part of this community. In this case, the principle of performing the work depends on the device from which the message is generated.

To write to VK from a computer, take the following steps:

1. Click on the field intended for adding an entry.
2. Write a post.
3. Select on whose behalf the posting is made (this option is available for administrators or moderators). To select an option, just click on the arrow below.

In the absence of such an arrow, the community is closed, and only moderators or administrators of the VK public can write on its behalf.

We offer from your phone

If you want to propose a note in the public using a phone or tablet with the VKontakte mobile application installed, then log into your account through it and go to the main page of the desired community.

Then find the “Suggest news” button and click on it.

Write text, add a photo, file, etc., and click on the checkmark at the top right.

After this, administrators of the public page will be able to view it. And you will see the button “1 news suggested by you”. Click on it.

A list will appear showing all the news you have submitted to the community that has not yet been published. By clicking on the three vertical dots next to the desired entry, you can delete or edit it.

If you have interesting information or your own view on certain things, then feel free to offer posts on the public VKontakte page. The administration will definitely take into account and publish interesting posts that will relate to the topic of the community.

How to publish posts in someone else's public page

To write on VK on behalf of a group, you must be its moderator or administrator. This means that you won’t be able to leave posts in someone else’s community. To do this, you need to join it, obtain the necessary status, and then leave posts according to the principle discussed above - on your own or on behalf of the community. After clicking the Submit button, the post is automatically added to the wall. The prohibition on leaving entries in someone else's community is understandable. It is unlikely that any administrator would want everyone to unsubscribe from their page.

Bottom line

The main rule when creating good content is not to copy other people's materials. Try to create high-quality original posts.

Also, do not forget that many users offer you their publications through the “Suggest a post” function. Very often, subscribers provide interesting materials, after posting which the number of positive responses from the community audience will increase.

How to write private messages from a group

If you wish, you can write to a person on behalf of the VKontakte group. This is possible provided that a number of rules are followed. Firstly, such manipulation is only available to community subscribers. Secondly, you won’t be able to start communication first. In other words, they should write to you first, after which you can respond on behalf of the community.

There is one more point. In normal mode, group messages are disabled. To activate this feature, follow these steps:

• go to the Management section;
• enter the Sections category;
• go to the Messages section and click on Enabled;
• check Add to left menu.

After completing these steps, the Community section appears under the emergency icon. Now all that remains is to click on the write a message button and send a message to the administration. Authorized persons may respond to such messages by clicking on the Community Post link. As already noted, you will not be able to independently initiate communication with the administration without enabling the option discussed above.

How to leave comments from a group

On July 4, 2017, VK added a feature that allows administrators to write comments on the pages of other groups. This opportunity is used to promote your community and increase the number of its participants. The more comments the group administrator writes on VK, the more actively other users will switch to it. The second reason for the popularity of messages is the ability to remain incognito, because in such cases no personal data is left.

Before writing on behalf of the community in VK in other groups, it is important to make sure you have the appropriate status. In the case of comments, the option is available to the editor, administrator or creator. The writing algorithm is as follows:

• leave a comment on any of the posts in another public;
• Click on the arrow on the left (located next to the Send button);
• select on whose behalf the sending is carried out;
• Click on the Submit button and make sure that the comment is published on the wall.

As can be seen from the above, writing comments is not difficult. The main thing is to have the necessary rights for this.

How to edit a VKontakte group post

If you're unhappy with the quality of your post, you probably want to know how to edit a post in a group.

To do this, select the publication to edit and click on the three dots icon. In the menu that appears, we will need the “Edit” tool.

After making changes, click on the “Save” button.

You can edit posts only in your VK group.

To change publishing on Android and iOS devices you need to:

1. Open the mobile version of VKontakte.
2. In the community, go to the publication management menu by clicking on the icon with three dots.
3. Select “Edit” in the menu that appears.
4. Don't forget to save all changes made to the post.

Who can write on behalf of the group and with what rights?

For convenience, the VK social network has a separation of powers. There are several categories of persons:

1. Advertiser - creates advertising posts, allows you to advertise existing posts. If nothing is changed, there is no way for an editor or moderator to play that role.
2. Moderator is a person who monitors compliance with the rules, deletes comments, lists violators as an emergency, removes comments from discussions, etc.
3. Editor - prints materials, works with the wall. He can write comments and posts on VK on behalf of the community, create publications, delete entries, create a public page, manage content and control statistics.
4. Administrator - has all the rights that combine the capabilities of a moderator, editor and advertiser. He can also clean bots, conduct live broadcasts, set up advertising, etc.
5. Owner. Has all rights and cannot be demoted by the administrator.

Taking into account the above, we can conclude that three persons have the right to write on VK on behalf of the community - the owner, the editor and the administrator. But the former rarely participates in the process and entrusts the work to his “subordinates.” We will tell you how to propose news in a group using the link.

Types of records

There are four main types of posts on the VKontakte social network. To understand which type should be used in your community, let’s look at all types of posts in more detail.

Photos

One of the simplest types of content. Used as "memes" in most entertainment communities. Due to its simplicity, this type of recording very often becomes viral and spreads far beyond social networks. Often images that have become popular can be found on popular websites, magazines and even television. Usually VK users create albums, then add photos to it

Videos

Probably the most difficult type of content from a production point of view. To create a high-quality video, you need a lot of time and money, as well as a well-thought-out script and good equipment for filming.

Despite this, video content brings more positive responses from the target audience and has a very good effect on the promotion of VK groups.

Audio recordings

This type of published content is great for promoting music communities. These include not only thematic groups about music, but also public pages of beginners or already popular singers.

Many artists post their songs in groups earlier than on other platforms due to the large audience of VKontakte in the CIS countries.

Text

The most popular and universal type of content. Posts in text form are perfect for any type of community.

With their help, you can solve any problem: make a review, publish news, share your thoughts, sell a product or service. That’s why it’s so important to use text notes when promoting your public pages on VK.

Article

A new type of content in the form of separate articles with the ability to format the text: adding a title, subheadings, bold, italics, formatting quotes and other useful functions. Records of this format open in a new window and look like this:

This type of publication is perfect for public pages used as blogs and information platforms that require the placement of long text materials, better known as longreads.

Combined posts

It is not necessary to use one type of content in posts. You can always add several types at once. For example, write a text and add a thematic video to it as a supplement. This also applies to other post formats.

What to do if you can’t write on behalf of the group

There are situations when a user cannot write comments or make entries on behalf of the community. In this case, information is published from a specific person. The question arises why you can’t write on behalf of a VKontakte group, and what the reasons might be. The reasons may be the following:

1. The On behalf of the community checkbox was not selected when adding.
2. The user does not have the rights necessary to perform such an action.
3. Problems with VK. Try reloading the page and try again.
4. The group has a very small size (up to 50 people). Commenting in such a public is impossible.

Complaints that I cannot write on behalf of the VKontakte group are explained by the reasons discussed above. If you can eliminate them, there will be no difficulties adding a comment or post.
