How to create a group "Vkontakte"? Detailed instructions for creating a community from a to y.

You decided to find new friends via the Internet, like-minded people in business or a hobby with the help of the community on the social network VKontakte, but do not know how to create a group in contact? If you think that creating a group in contact is a very complicated procedure, then I can assure you that you are mistaken.

To verify this, let's, by example, deal with this issue.

So, first you need to go to your page in contact. In the vertical list on the right, select the item "My groups".

Now pay attention to the upper right side of the page. Click on the line "Create Community".

In the opened window to create a community, you need to enter its name. Call it so that a visitor to your group will immediately understand what useful information he will find here.

Confirm previous actions by clicking the "Create Community" button.

Your group has been created. Automatically you will be redirected to the “Information” tab for your group. Here you can change the "Address of the page" so that you and your participants do not remember the incomprehensible numbers, make the link readable. The newly created group was created for humor, so you can change the link, for example to:

Make a description for your group and specify the subject. If you have a website under the theme of this group, then it makes sense to also indicate in your group.

Further settings will not explain, I think that you will understand so.

Now you select a picture under the theme of our group so that you can immediately see visually, what our group is about.

To do this, in the upper right corner find the phrase “Upload a photo” and click on it.

You will see a window where you click "Select file". The picture must be in the correct format: JPG, GIF or PNG.

Specify the desired picture, click "Open". You will see a window in which you can select only a part of the photo using the frame. Then click "Save and continue" (You will need a square-shaped photograph, otherwise part of the photo will be cropped).

If the photo does not load, it means that its size is too large or it does not have the correct extension - such a photo should be reduced or select another one.

Once again, a window will appear in which we indicate the area for small photos and click "Save Changes."

Having filled in all data, you can now invite participants. Under the main photo, find the item “Invite friends”, click on it. To add to the group of participants, in front of your friends, click on the phrase “Send an invitation”.

To add to the discussion group, photos or audio, select "Add" on the wall of the group. To download links, videos and documents - see the bottom right of the page.

Congratulations, now you know how to create a group in contact.

See you soon!

Today we will deal with the question - how to create a group in VKontakte  fast and beautiful. I hope this step-by-step instruction will be useful and more good communities will appear in the VC.

purpose: create not just a community, but a ready-made group for work and promotion within the Contact. Therefore, we will carry out all the necessary steps for this.

Step by Step 2016:

How to create a group in VKontakte

It takes only 10 seconds to create a group on VKontakte! However, in this process there are some nuances that should be considered at the very beginning.

The group has a number of advantages, where you can manage community access for others, have a block at the beginning of the group, add a creative menu and of course you can post products.

Group setting in VK

Thanks to the correct settings of the VK group, you can get additional views and potential subscribers from the search by VKontakte groups, as well as from Google and Yandex search engines.

Basic setting

1.   The first field concerns the selection of the correct group name, it must be within 50 characters and display a key idea. The name must be accurate and concise, displaying the contents of the group.

For example, our group will be about music, then go to the search by groups and look at the most popular groups in this direction. This will make it clear that most people in VC want to listen and see.

If you look at the first 50 bands, you will see that most people want to listen to popular and new music. Therefore, you can make the name "New music 2016 | Most popular" .

2.   The second field “Community Description” should be filled in, a little bit of 150-200 characters. Where the words “popular”, “new”, “music” should be repeated at least once. This is necessary to attract visitors from search engines.

Often, people in search engines are gaining such a phrase as “popular music on VKontakte”, “Novelty music VK”. And it gives a chance that people will go exactly to your group from the search and subscribe.

3.   There are 3 types of groups:

• Open   - where any user can subscribe to your group;
• Closed   - where the set is carried out on applications to the group and invitations from administrators;
• Private   - the set of subscribers is carried out exclusively through invitations of administrators.

People do not willingly make applications to a closed group, so it is best to choose an open one. This way you will manage to get more subscribers.

4 . Select a url for the group. You need to write a short and catchy title that will be similar to the name of the group. In my case, "new_popular_music". Also the novaja_pipularnaya_musica option would be suitable.

Beautiful design of the group VKontakte (new 2016)

Competent group setting helps to draw only attention to the community, but in order for the people to like the group, it needs to be beautifully decorated and only then there will be an influx of new subscribers.

Thanks to the new introduction to the design of VKontakte 2016, the size of the content has now changed, as well as the opportunity to add a cover for the group. But what is the best way to arrange a group?

What is better avatar or cover?

  - This is a picture that makes the community unique and memorable and can even make you want to subscribe, as in the example above. From the avatar creates a thumbnail for news and comments.

Avatar size for a group can be from 200x300 to 200x500 (width x height in pixels). In this case, the thumbnail will be 200x200 (square).

  - This is an innovation of 2016, which replaces the standard avatar group. The cover is located at the full width at the top of the screen (done to save space and focus on content).

The size of the cover can be from 795x200 px to 1590 × 400 px (under the screens with increased clarity). However, a miniature from the cover is not yet available.

Creating a menu for a group of VKontakte

Probably you noticed that some VKontakte groups have a beautiful graphic menu and of course you would like to do the same in your group, but how to create it?

This will require skills to work with a graphic editor, such as PhotoShop. And correctly mark the dimensions of the future menu (it all depends on the number of items in the menu).

In any case, a separate article was written for this - how to create a menu for a group of VKontaktewhere you can learn more about and create it in your group.

And the last step is to proceed to the promotion of the VKontakte group. There are so many ways about which, you can also learn from a separate article.

Increasingly, new chips appear in the VC, which allow you to make the group more spectacular and beautiful. I hope that this step-by-step instruction will help you create a group on your dream VKontakte!

There is no such Internet user who would not hear about the social network vkontakte. It is quite simple to explain - VKontakte allows you not only to communicate with friends, find like-minded people, watch videos and listen to music, but also create your own communities. Any vkontakte user can create his own community of a particular subject. Let's figure out how to create a community vkontakte?

How to create a community vkontakte?

The first thing we need to create a community - enter your username and password and enter your page. Next we go to the tab - "Groups".

At the top right of the page you will see the tab "Create a community" .   After that, when you click on it - a menu will appear in front of you:

Your task is to determine the exact name of the community and the category to which it can be attributed. We will create a group with you. To do this, enter the name, and gain "Create a community".

So, we need to complete the following menu items:

1. Group name. Information tab contains a field "Group Name".  We decided on it earlier, but we can always change it for something else.
2. Page address.Contains a link to your community.
3. Community description. It is necessary to take responsibility for filling this field. There is not only a number of users who like to read the description of the group, but also search engines. Thanks to your description, new users will be able to find groups of such search engines, Yandex and others. So, create a community description.

Here is an example made in a couple of seconds. Take the most responsible to fill this field!

1. Subject community.Why do we need to fill this field? Each community has a specific theme, which is taken into account when searching. If we decide to create a group "", it is not advisable to choose the subject "Cooking" or "Sport". Ideal - "Entertainment".
2. Web site. If you have a website, you can link to it. All users of your group will be able to go to it after your visit. We do not have a web site, so we will leave this field blank.
3. Location  At the location you can specify the country, city and even the street where they are located.
4. Wall.  As we remember on the wall, group administrators can create any messages. In some groups, users can post themselves.

There are several options. "Walls":off, open, limited and closed. We choose a limited option. In this case, write and posts on the wall can only administrators of the group, and anyone can comment on them.

1. Videotapes. Video recordings can also be open, limited and off. Just as in the previous case, we choose the option limited. This can be attributed to audio recordings, documents, discussions and photos.

So, in our community, only we can add any information, and other users can only comment on it.

1. Group type  Last field "Group type". An open group can join any users. In the closed - you can invite users or confirm applications. And you can join a private group only after your invitation.

Our new group will be open. The rest of the tabs we do not need - click "Save".

This is what our group looks like:

Now our task is to fill the group and attract new users to it. Do not think that this is a fairly simple job. For starters, you can invite all your friends to your community, but it’s unlikely that at least 50% of users  will confirm your application. Therefore, many administrators advertise their community in other groups and resources.

Filling in a group is also quite a difficult job. Every day is required to create new interesting posts and discussions. You should not forget to monitor the attendance of the group. To do this, go to the "Community Statistics" tab and look at the indicators.

As we can see at the moment, my unique group was visited by one unique user.

Filling the group

The first thing we will do is a group avatar. To do this, click "Upload photos" and enjoy the result.

Similarly, download music, videos, documents, and create discussions..

When filling text posts you should pay attention to their uniqueness. If your group consists entirely of non-unique content, it will not be able to become successful and popular. also much appreciated.

Any vkontakte user  can create your own group. But few people understand how difficult it is to engage in its promotion. Do not think that the users themselves will start to join a new community - you have to attract them yourself. Vkontakte there are thousands of groups - you have to stand out and do a lot of work to achieve success.

Have you already created a community for yourself?

Greetings to you, dear readers. Social networks have long entered our lives, so all owners of absolutely any business, both traditional and remote, it is simply vital to lead them to be successful, so today we will talk about how to create a group in VK.

VKontakte, despite the growth of Odnoklassniki and Facebook, and even despite instagram, remains the leader in promotion, this is a simple explanation.

The benefits of soc. VKontakte networks:

• Different audience segments.

We know that in the OC the main audience is women over 30 years old, mostly from the regions, the FB is the most well-to-do audience, and on Instagram there are advanced young people. VC has all these segments from children to bankers.

• The habit of buying online.

VK people have an understanding of online shopping, they are happy to buy goods without leaving their beloved social services. networks, this is the so-called autonomous trade, i.e. when we do not transfer people to external sites.

So, we need to sell through social. VKontakte network, what do you need to do?

There are 2 promotion vectors through VK:

1. Creation and promotion of your community.
2. Purchase of advertisements in existing ones.

We will consider both options, and today we will discuss the first.

Many here have a question - how much to create them: one or several?

How many communities to create for business?

In some cases, you need to create one, in others - several different, everything is individual and depends on your business.

Most often, for one business, it is still better to create one group or a public page, which one is better to choose, let's analyze further. For example, if you have a travel agency, you do not need to do several communities for different tours, for example, “Tours to Egypt”, “Tours to Bulgaria”, etc., because their promotion will not be as effective as if there was one community.

You need to create several communities in the following cases:

• Different audience.

If your product is consumed by different audiences, for example, if there are several businesses operating under your brand, here it is a mistake to create one community like Perm Shipping and Abstracts Cheap.

In this case, you need to create separate communities, because these are completely different proposals for different audiences and different content is needed here.

If the subscriber receives more than 40% of the content that does not meet his interests, he will leave the community.

• Bilingual business.

If you have interests, for example, not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries, in this case it is impossible to lead one community in different languages.

• The difference between offers in different regions.

For example, so do providers that provide Internet, as they have different tariffs in different cities.

• Very rich marketing policy.

For example, Wildberries store, it has many subscribers, the store has a lot of activity, is advertised, in this case, you can select different directions, they do it, they have a common community, there is a separate public for the sale of household goods and a group with children's goods , there is also a division by country (Belarus, Kazakhstan), etc.

The more targeted information a subscriber receives, the higher the likelihood that he will perform an action targeted to us.

When we have decided on the necessary number of communities for the development of your business, we proceed directly to its (their) creation.

How to create a group in VKontakte steps?

Step 1.  Go to your VK page, select “Groups” in the left menu and click the “Create community” button.

This window appears.

Step 2.  Come up with a name.

I advise you to choose a concise and memorable name that will attract attention and reveal the essence of the group itself. In the next article I will talk in detail about how to choose the right name, and you can correct it.

Step 3.  Choose a community view.

What to choose a group, public page or event? To date, the difference between them is not so noticeable, there are advantages to the first, second and third formats.

Below is a table in which you can see the difference between different formats.

Opportunities	Group	Public page	Event
Participants write on the wall		Not	It is possible to disable this feature.
Members can “offer news” to the community.	Not		Not
Participants can add new photo albums, videos, audio recordings, documents	It is possible to disable this feature.	Not	It is possible to disable this feature.
Restricting access to community materials	You can configure it so that anyone can enter, to enter only by invitation or by submitting an application, and only by invitation of managers	Not	Can be configured to allow all users to participate or only invited by the administrator
The block with the goods, which is displayed on the main page of the community	there is	there is	Not
The start and end time of the event	Not	Not	This format is suitable, indeed, only for some meetings, a day before the start a reminder of the event comes out
Display on the participants' personal pages	The list of groups is displayed in personal information only if the participant has not hidden his privacy settings, in any case, no one is viewing it.	If a participant frequently enters your public, then he appears in the top 5 in the block “Interesting pages”, there you can see the avatar of the page and there are more chances that someone of his friends will see your community and enter it	The list of events is displayed in personal information only if the participant has not hidden his privacy settings, in any case, no one is viewing it.
Invitations to the community	You can invite 40 friends per day	Not	You can invite members of your communities to 5000 per day

Think and choose what suits your business better: group or public page. Here, of course, it will be a mistake to create a public of the type “Effective hemorrhoid treatment”, because not everyone wants this to be displayed on his personal page, in this case, you need to make a group.

My advice is to create a group at the initial stage, so you can invite your friends to it, and when all those who want to join, you can transfer the group to a public page. The creator of the community can change its type independently, without resorting to requests in those. support, in case the number of participants does not exceed 10,000. Just as in the case of transferring a public to a group, it is allowed to change the type of community no more than once a month.

Step 4.  Click the "Create Community" button.

Your VKontakte group has been created, and you are in the "Edit Information" menu.

Group settings

• Title  - we already have it.
• Community description  - here we write a description of the group, indicating what it does.
• page address  - we change the address to more beautiful than the set of numbers that comes by default, it is desirable to make it as short as possible so that subscribers can easily remember it and find you.
• Community Topics  - choose from the list the most suitable subject and specify the age limit.
• Web site  - enter the address of your web site, it will be displayed on the main page of the group.
• Comment Filter  - automatically deletes comments containing a mat or words you specify.
• Location  - specify the address if you have an office or you have a regional group, or you want to promote some product in a particular city, for example, if you have a store or you do a manicure at home.
• Room in Snapster  - indicate if it is there (photos are shared there, similar to Instagram).
• Community Posts  - if necessary, connect the community messages. This is a very convenient thing, the messages are addressed directly to the community, and all managers can respond to them. The subscriber does not need to look for the group administrator, who often hide themselves from the contact block to ask a question. And administrators are not confused about which of their several communities asked a question. In order to immediately see on your personal page that the community has received a message, you need to add your group to the left menu.

Next, we include the functions that you need, and set up access for them (who can add and edit: editors and administrators, or all members of the community). I think that there will be no problems with setting up privacy, especially since VKontakte hints.

I do not advise participants to turn off the possibility of commenting and displaying all kinds of activity in albums and so on, and even more so in discussions, because the higher the activity of the audience, the faster your group moves. If someone sends spam or behaves inadequately, then the black list will help you.

I will explain only what materials are. We need them in case we want the “Latest News” block to appear on the group’s main page, which is a wiki page, the block name can be changed and the page can be edited as you please.

If you have an online store, then we connect “Products”, then the cards with the products you created will be displayed on the main community page.

Congratulations, you now have your VKontakte community, the next thing you need to do is him.

If you do something incomprehensible and have questions, please ask them in the comments, I will be glad to answer them. Also subscribe to blog news to avoid missing new articles.

How to create a community in "VKontakte"?  If you ask yourself this question - it means you have come to the right place!

Before creating a group or a public page, it is necessary to carefully consider the direction, prepare the material and only then get to work. And if your community will have an entertainment character, then you should not sculpt clones of popular groups. Also, I do not advise creating communities that will be similar in topic to those already existing in the social. networks with public or groups, as you are unlikely to be able to compete with them. Suppose a group with quotes about love and so on. Perhaps you will be successful if your budget allows you to promote such a page, but with free methods you most likely will not achieve anything. Therefore, my advice to you is that the idea must be unique, or at least not highly competitive.

By the way, I remembered something I want to mention in this article!   One person today ALMOST FREE   gives my course, which I bought yesterday for 9,600 rubles, your mother! AAAAAAAAAA !!! HOW DID IT HAPPEN!!! I advise you to grab it soon! Soon he will set a price of 126,000 (although it is hard to believe, he will most likely sell at the same price as 9600). I earned 7000 in two days. The course is just a BOMB !!! Damn, well, it's a pity that I hurried with the purchase, although I still do not regret it, I could just save money, and I think tomorrow everything will pay off. Here he bought his Link to the course, of course he reduced the price to a minimum, lucky those who buy, only 840 rubles!

It was a small digression. Now let's talk directly about creating a group or a public, as you like. I will explain the points.

1. Log into your page, then go to the “My Groups” tab.
2. In the upper right corner you will see a button (link) "Create a community."
3. By clicking this button, you will see a choice: Group, Public Page, Event.
4. Before you make your choice, you must enter the name of your creation.

I want to make a small digression. Now the most popular are the public pages, as your subscribers constantly see in their news, these or other posts that you leave on the wall in public. However, groups also have their advantages - you can invite people, participants can also invite their friends, and you can create a beautiful menu in the group, but you also need to learn this. So the choice is yours - a group or a public page.

1. Now you need to set up your community: enter a description; preferably instead of the address “http://vk.com/club475665”, rename the link in this way, of course, just insert your name “vk.com./zarabotok_na_partnerkah”; if you want, you can pick up the right subject; if you have your own website, then specify it.
2. I advise you to make the wall limited (that is, accessible only to administrators), since spam can flow like a river, which you hardly want.
3. Photos, videos, documents, audio recordings can also be made limited.
4. In public pages, discussions are unimportant, but in the group I think they should be left.
5. Make the group open for everyone, the number of those who join will definitely be more than in a closed one.

Well, the community is created and configured! Now your primary task is to fill the community with content, accumulated material and promotion. I wish you every success in this not easy, but quite fascinating thing! I hope you will be able to create an interesting community in the contact, VKontakte or VC - as you like. Be sure to subscribe to our page in contact!

If you decide to do paid promotion, but your own money is a pity, then we advise you to do
