How to submit
There are several ways to advertise on VK for free - do it through a group, post it on the wall, or use the built-in application. Each of the options has features, which we will dwell on in more detail.
How to apply to a group
First, let's figure out how to place an ad in a VKontakte group, because this is the most complex and time-consuming method. Here you can use two ways - create a community yourself or use an existing public. The first option is not very good, because it requires additional advertising costs. A more profitable option is to submit information for an already existing and promoted project. But to do this, you need to know how to place an ad in the VKontakte community for free. First, find a suitable option, and then add your post.
The general algorithm is:
- Select communities to reach out to. There are many of them, so finding them is unlikely to be difficult.
- Click on the Subscribe button.
- Click on the Suggest news field.
- Write your text.
Before posting an ad on VK in a group, check it to ensure it meets the community requirements. Please note that all posts are moderated by the administrator. If the rules are violated, the information will be rejected.
How to submit on the wall
The second option is to create and submit an ad in VK directly on the wall. As in the previous case, this can be done on your page or the page of a community. The first option is suitable for pages where the number of users is at least 200. In this case, people should see the information in their news. It is important to make it as noticeable and bright as possible, for example, add a high-quality picture, describe prices, enter information about the product, etc. When advertising your product, do some kind of promotion.
To publish a new VK ad, follow these steps:
- go to the page;
- click on the link What's new;
- enter text and create an advertisement.
The second option is to post an ad in VK on the community wall. Such public places position themselves as flea markets, as evidenced by their name. The main condition is that the site has an open opportunity to submit your information on the wall. In this case, the approach itself is similar to that discussed above.
How to submit through the "Ads" application
There is another way to post an ad on VKontakte for free. Previously, this service was called “Ads”, and today it is called Market. Here anyone can add a product and sell it without creating a group or additional actions. Take the following steps:
- Log in to the official VK website.
- Find the Market section.
- Enter it.
- Go to the My Products tab.
- Click on the Add product button.
- Fill in the fields provided - name, category, article, description, price, country and city.
- Click on the Create Product button.
Using this service, you can add sales advertisements on VKontakte, saving time and money on other expenses. As for the section of the same name, which used to be in the mobile application and on PC, today it is not available. He was replaced by Market.
Are these settings accessible from the phone?
You can make some edits using the app on your smartphone. But the interface is somewhat stripped down. You can’t just create a point with contact details - there must be a user page. This is done as follows.
We go to the group, open the menu at the top of the screen. Then the “Managers” section. Here, next to the desired page, open the menu and click “Edit”.
Activate the “Display in contacts block” item. Three fields will appear - fill them in and save the changes.
It is done.
How to find
We discussed above that you can write an ad in a VKontakte group in several ways - on the wall, through a group, or the built-in functionality of a social network. But there are situations when you need to find your previously posted ad. This can be done in several ways:
- Through the standard search form. A search option that looks like a magnifying glass is available on the official website and in the application on a mobile device. If you previously managed to place an ad and now want to find it, enter the word or phrase that was in the entry. Next, select the news filter and find your post.
- In Group. If you decide to submit advertising information in your own or someone else’s group, the search should not be difficult. The main thing is to remember the name of the community. Here, also enter the public page and try to find your entry through the search. Again, you can search by some word or phrase that you definitely remember.
- Through applications. Alternatively, you can use the Posts program, available at the link vk.com/app3876642. You need to launch the application, and then choose what and where to look.
Alternatively, ask the group admins for help if you remember which community you posted in
Documents - a new section of VKontakte
Continuing the series of updates, the social network in contact, on the eve of the summer sessions, launched a very useful section - Documents . Perhaps this is the most useful innovation in contact and here's why.
Now everyone can upload all kinds of text and graphic documents to their VKontakte page, which are very convenient to use, for example, during an exam (especially if the phone’s memory is limited).
How to activate the “Documents” section on VKontakte?
Go to My Settings, “ General ” tab. Check the box next to “ Documents ”
How to upload documents to contact?
To upload documents to the site in contact, go to the documents tab (vk.com/docs) and click on the “ Add document ” link at the top right. Select the location of the file on the disk and click “ Open .” The document will immediately begin uploading to the site.
I accidentally deleted a document from the site in contact. How to restore it?
(in the new version of VK this method does not work)
For some time, documents deleted on the VKontakte website are not actually deleted, but are simply made hidden.
There will be an inscription in the place where the title of the document used to be. “The document has been deleted. Restore” Click on restore - and it will be restored immediately!

How to delete
If the information is no longer needed, you need to know how to delete a VKontakte ad in a group. This can be done in different ways depending on the type of placement. For example, to delete on a wall, just find a post, click on the arrow on the right side and select “Delete”. When using the community, you may need the help of an administrator who, upon request, will delete the entry of interest. In the situation with the Market, enter it, find the added product and delete it.
Now you know how to post an ad on VK and do it for free without advertising or additional costs. To achieve greater efficiency, it is better to use promoted groups or use the capabilities of the built-in Market service. In the comments, share which method you prefer to place such advertising and why.
Settings instructions
Now it’s time to find out exactly how to set up a community in VKontakte
and what actions need to be taken to achieve this. Start by logging into your group and clicking on the “Manage Community” button (located under your group’s avatar). You will see the “Information” tab - this is the main tab where the following settings are present:
- Name. You can change the name of your community at any time, but you shouldn't do it often.
- Page address. You don't need a simple ID number; It’s better to come up with a nice, original and concise address for the group. For example https://vk.com/komputery_internet instead of https://vk.com/club12345678.
- Description of the group. If you have a community in contact, setting it up
with a description will allow you to attract more visitors to it. You need to try to briefly describe your “brainchild” and tell “in a nutshell” what it is dedicated to. Then visitors will be able to immediately understand exactly where they are. - Theme of the group. Select the topic of your community. To do this, click on the field and select the appropriate option in the menu that appears. Of course, you can leave this column blank, but still choosing a topic will not be superfluous.
- Web site. If your community has an external website, enter its URL here. By doing this, you will not only interest visitors even more and expand your target audience, but will also definitely increase the traffic of the resource, which, of course, will have a positive impact on its work and promotion.
- Location. This function becomes especially important when the VKontakte group is dedicated to a locality, landmark, specific establishment located only in one city, and so on.
- Wall. You need to decide what your wall will be like. It can be: off (not recommended), open, limited and closed.
- Export to Twitter. In principle, this setting is not mandatory, but it is extremely convenient for those “group owners” who have a well-promoted Twitter account. If you don't have one, you won't need any setup.
- Video recordings. Photos. Documentation. Materials. Discussions. All these functions can be: open, disabled, limited. Choose an option based on the above recommendations and tips.
- Group type. This option can easily be called privacy settings, and therefore it is very important. Pay special attention to this setting. The fact is that your community can be of three types: private, closed, open. It is recommended to choose an open group type, but this is not always good. For example, if a community is dedicated to representatives of the 18+ age category, it must be closed - otherwise your group may be blocked.
Listed above are the most basic community settings available to you. But there are other tabs in which “Links”, “List of group members” and “Black list” are located. With these tabs, everything should be clear and understandable to you: you will simply use them as needed.
As for the basic settings, try not to neglect them and take up to half an hour to set up a group on a social network
exactly as you see fit and what would be best for its successful development. But do not forget that even with optimal settings, the VKontakte group requires your constant monitoring.
Hello friends!
In today's article I will talk about the settings of the VKontakte group. Where to find them and what needs to be indicated in them in order to promote more effectively in VK. In general, the information will definitely be useful, so read below.
Possible difficulties
Editors need to remember that the activities of groups in VK are regulated by rules, for violation of which sanctions can be imposed on the community, including blocking. To avoid this, a specialist needs to know by heart the requirements of the social network regarding the promotion of public pages and not violate them. Other difficulties that a member of the profession may encounter include:
- there is a lot of competition among VK communities, which is why you have to constantly fight for the interest of the audience;
- a small amount of systematic information on maintaining groups on social networks, which could help a beginner quickly get used to the profession;
- negative comments, trolling of participants;
- a lot of work.
Promoting a community cannot be avoided without difficulties. It is important to treat them philosophically and remember that with experience, problems can be resolved much faster.
What is included in the concept of “group management”
To manage a group means to be its creator or appointed leader. Managers vary in their powers. They are divided into:
- Administrators
- Moderators
- Editors
The greatest powers among them in managing a group in contact are vested in community administrators. Managing a group means being able to:
- Name the group or change its name and description
- Give her a nice address
- Upload and change the cover and other group design (thumbnail and avatar)
- Enable or disable any blocks (discussions, photo albums, videos, documents, links, audio recordings, open or close a wall, products)
- Connect an advertising company
- Ban participants or, conversely, appoint them as community leaders
- Delete posts and comments from group members and even edit them
- Moderate suggested posts (applies only to public pages or public pages, there is no such function in groups)
Well, we’ve sorted out the concept of “group management”, now let’s answer the question “how”.
