VKontakte is a site designed for active communication between people. It happens that you don't want to copy a message, but you want to send text, pictures or even a video. For this, the developers of this site have come up with such a good button as "Forward message". In this article, I'll show you in detail how to use it.
How to forward a message
Forwarding a text message is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. All you need to do is take a few steps:
Advice! There is a cross next to the Send button, it is in case you suddenly change your mind about sending. A little higher in the field, you can add text from yourself.
Forward message to wall
In order for the message that you want to forward to get on the wall, you need to do the following steps (read how to repost on the wall):
mobile version
Unfortunately, the mobile version of the Vkontakte website (https://m.vk.com/) does not have such a Forward Message button. To do this, you will need to copy it manually:
Additionally: you can send a Vkontakte message from your phone in another way. If traffic allows, then you can exit the mobile version and switch to the full version and repeat the steps of the first section of this article.
How to send a photo
To forward a photo (you can read how to tag a friend in a photo), you need to follow the same steps as with a text message:
Advice! In this way, you can send not only photos or text messages, but also videos. The forwarding procedure is the same.
Now you don't have to manually copy and send messages every time. You can save time with this button. You can read about how to create a conversation with several participants. Good luck and see you soon.
There are things people have been waiting for years. And in the case of mailings on Vkontakte, this is exactly the song.
We already thought that we could write off direct and constant communications with clients from our accounts, as email newsletters have lost ground. But in vain they were afraid.
As soon as chat bots arrived, which also helped a lot, VK messaging appeared almost immediately.
Zhdun
NewsletterAlthough this functionality appeared at the beginning of 2017, I was only now going to analyze it. And this is no coincidence.
Since we have acquired experience in conducting them, and the mailing services themselves have improved their capabilities quite well. Therefore, I am telling not from theory, but from real experience of sending more than 100,000 messages.
I draw your attention to the phrase “on behalf of the group / public”, because it is only from this type of pages that you can now make mailings.
And the logic of Vkontakte is clear here. Groups and publics are created for commercial purposes, when personal pages are sharpened for personal tasks, and not for communication with the audience. But this is so, by the way.
Benefit on the face
The key joy of any business is the high open rate of your messages, now I will tell you in more detail.
In email marketing, this figure floats around 20-25%, while in the case of VK, the situation changes sharply upwards and is about 80-90%. It can be roughly said that everyone to whom you send messages will see them.
Naturally, this is only now the case. After all, private messages are not clogged with spam, and the site itself does not impose any restrictions and strict rules.
Although personally I am sure that sooner or later there will be a separate folder from private messages for all mailings in VK. Such a thing is now implemented in G-mail and it is called "Promotions".
You can talk about the difference between VKontakte and email marketing for a long time, but let's agree right away - this is not a substitute, but an additional channel of interaction.
And if the former are definitely wrong, then the latter are lucky. True, this luck happened only a year after the official release of the mailing lists.
But since we are talking about the present, then rejoice, there are auto funnels in VK. But only they are not as fancy as you think.
Everything is just gaining momentum. But already now it is possible to highlight the main branches of the functionality that are and will develop:
- Variables. Substitution of data into the text based on the information on the subscriber's page.
- The moment of dispatch. Choosing a good time and date for sending.
- Auto series. Sending messages one after another with a selected time interval.
- UTM tags. Tracking the sources where subscribers come from.
- Statistics. Analytics of sent, received messages and referrals.
- . Add and remove a member in “subscription topics” based on their actions.
Moreover, the last item, which is the main one of any auto sales funnel, is now very poorly pumped.
At the time of this writing, there are about 6-8 customer segmentation criteria. And I do not paint them on purpose, since the list may not be relevant tomorrow. But in the next paragraph I will give information on where to keep track of everything.
To all or not to all
Since many owners think that now it is possible to spam everyone and everything on behalf of the community. But this is not the case.
You need to get permission to subscribe first, and only then send messages.
This already rolls over a certain sadness, because not everything turns out so rosy. But isn't that great ?!
Otherwise, our personal would have been bombarded with various slimmers and Japanese diapers.
And I do not want this at all and I fully support the chosen mechanics of receiving the newsletter.
Moreover, according to many theorists, you can subscribe in three ways.
I'll tell you about them, but I warn you in advance, you only need to remember two. The reason for this will also be discussed further.
1. If a person writes to you in the community, it means he has subscribed, see the picture below.
Man wrote a message 2. If a person clicks "Allow to send notifications from the group", then it means he has subscribed
Consent to ha subscription 3. If a person writes a code word in the group messages, it means he has subscribed
Codeword Why did I say so impudently “in the opinion of theorists” ?! Because more than once I saw cases of how they blocked forever the ability to send messages to groups that took and began to send mailings according to criterion # 1.
The logic is simple: if a person wrote to you, this does not mean that he agreed to the mailing list.
This means that in reality there are only two methods. Moreover, the safest is the second.
The third is actually an implementation of the first, the only difference is that in case of problems, you can confirm to the support service that the person actually wrote to you in the group, that he signed up using the code word.
Please, gentlemen
Before you open your 30-year-old champagne, you need to think about how you can engage your audience in your mailing list.
From a mechanical point of view, you use everything the same if you subscribe a person to, an email newsletter or. But still I will summarize + add our know-how.
- Call to subscribe on the site. On our blog you can contemplate this option. We promise delicious usefulness for your consent.
Call to subscribe on the site - Call to subscribe in the group. Also in our group for each post + in the assigned record, we invite you to subscribe for a gift.
Call to subscribe in a group - Targeted advertising. You launch a promotional message asking you to subscribe to the newsletter for the desired audience.
Targeting - Retargeting. You also launch an advertising message, but only this time strictly on the subscribers of your group or visitors to your site.
Retargeting Let's be honest. You must be mega interesting so that people simply subscribe to the newsletter from your company.
More often than not, this is not the case. Therefore, it was not for nothing that I wrote the word “gift / utility” several times.
Better to offer a subscription in return for something of value to the customer. In the common people it is called.
Services
Of course I am doing well, I am telling you about mailings, but I forgot to mention that they are done through special mailing services.
Everything is as usual, Vkontakte gave access to their code, and craftsmen from this resource made services that allow you to send messages. Within the framework of VK, they are really called messaging applications.
And now there are already quite a lot of such applications on the market. And there will be even more. But since we managed to work with different and most often pioneers in this area, we singled out our TOP.
It has both free and paid services. And the main thing is their difference from each other ... Okay, I'll tell you a little later, first the list of services for mailing.
How to send a message to all your friends in classmates. Indeed, often, on big holidays, such as "New Year" or "Christmas", we want to send a message to all our friends in large quantities. The message may even be just a postcard, but it is the same to save time. If you are registered on the site classmates, then you can always send one message to all your friends at once. It is very comfortable. Because it reduces the time for mailing and you do not have to write the same message over and over again and send it to everyone.
It is easy to send a message to all friends in classmates
The second method is less time consuming. You can write a message directly in your status. Then all your friends will see it. All updates in the status of your friends are highlighted in the news feed. But this function can be disabled manually by your friend in his own settings. If the display of status changes in the feed is canceled for such a friend, the friend will not see your message.
How to send a message to all friends on VKontakte
You wanted to send one message to all your friends on the VKontakte network.
We proceed as follows:
on the left side of the user page there is a menu where you need to select the "My messages" tab. At the top on the right side you will see the inscription "Write a message", be sure to click on it, and then enter the text of the message. In the field "Recipient" you need to select those friends for whom you are writing this message. You can forward one message to a maximum of fourteen users at a time.
If the task is to send one message to more friends, then you will have to repeat sending the letter.
Don't forget to style your messages nicely. In the lower field, you enter text. You can also insert a photo, song, and video there.
If you want, you can insert a city or street map. Finished filling out your message? - we send!
Send a message to all friends in the "My World" network
I will write to those who communicate in the network "My World". And you have the opportunity to send a message to all your friends at once. It's simple. There is a menu next to your photo. Under the menu, there is an "More" tab. Click on it and select the line - "Write a message to friends." And on the right you will see the "Interlocutor" field. By clicking on "Select from friends", it will be possible to select those friends to whom you want to send a message with the help of checkmarks. Want to send a message to all your friends? Check the box next to Select All. Then click the "Select" button. Enter the text in the "Message" field. In the same place we decorate with various smilies. We can insert a picture, as well as photos and video files. Now we send!
In classmates, I recommend choosing the most incredible statuses. They attract many new users to your page. They will help make new acquaintances. Through new friends, find interesting groups and communities. Or create your own group in your classmates yourself and give your mood to your friends. And besides communicating with classmates, you can play games, participate in contests or tournaments, and all this together with friends.
Hello, friends! As users of the Vkontakte social network, we all often correspond with our friends, acquaintances, classmates, and colleagues. And, I think, such a situation happened to you when you had to write: "Sasha suggested today ..." or "Vanya had a great idea ...". That is, you rewrite what one person said to another.
We have already written about. Then several users can participate in the dialogue at once and everyone will be aware of the discussions. But if for some reason you cannot combine certain friends in one dialogue, then you can correspond with one person, and then forward some messages from your dialogue to another.
In this article, we will talk about such a transfer, how it can be done from a computer or phone.
We forward a message to a Vkontakte friend from a computer
If you go to your Vkontakte page from a computer or laptop, then select the "Messages" menu item in the left menu. Next, you need to open a correspondence with the person where there are those that need to be forwarded.
Select the ones you need with the mouse - just click on them so that they are highlighted in blue. Then at the top, click on the "Forward" button.
A list with those people with whom you corresponded will open. If the user you want is not in the list, then use the search.
We are looking for a person to whom we will forward the selected messages and click on him.
The text will be attached. To send, as usual, click on the arrow.
This is what the forwarded message will look like. First, your avatar is shown as the sender, and then the avatar of the user whose text you are sending.
We use the phone
If you want to send via the installed Vkontakte mobile application on your phone or tablet, then open the side menu and select the "Messages" item in it. Then open a dialogue with the person whose text you will be sending.
Highlight what you want to forward - press and hold one of them, then highlight the rest. The selected ones will turn blue, and their number will be written at the top.
To forward the selected messages, click on the arrow at the top right that points to the right.
Sometimes you want to congratulate all your friends on a holiday, advertise a product or warn about something. You can send a message to all VKontakte friends at once using the "conversation" function, let's figure out how to do it.
Each user sends his messages there, which are visible to everyone present. In this way, it is easy to discuss and anticipate an upcoming trip or planning a birthday.
Previously, there was a limit on the number of participants in the chat: a maximum of 14 people, then the limit was increased, and since 2017 it is allowed to add no more than 250 friends.
Create several chats if you want to talk or warn a different circle of people. Alas, the function of sending a message to all VKontakte friends at once is not provided in order to combat spam.
The disadvantage of this method is that the text will be read by all participants. If you need to send individual messages, you will have to do it manually. Insert a postcard into the conversation to congratulate you on the holiday. The group message is also generated through the image. For this:
Until recently, the Vkbot program was working, with the help of which messages were sent to each individual participant with the same text. Users fell in love with it for saving them time and effort. But in the summer of 2015, the official website was closed, and the old versions of the program ceased to function, since they were connected to the developer's servers.
Since 2016, the site has been offering to download an analogue of the program under the new name Sobot. But it is paid. The standard functions are identical to Vkbot, the additional ones worth noting are captcha input via antigate and rucaptcha services, an autoresponder and unlimited use of concurrent accounts.
When sending messages, be careful - if a complaint is filed against you, and the mailing is regarded as spam, it threatens with a ban and even an indefinite blocking of the page.
