Possible errors when working with chat
VK group administrators often make mistakes when working with broadcasts. The errors are:
- The name of the button located on the main page of the community is incorrect. If you misspell the name, subscribers will not understand that there is a conversation in the group. Based on the name, they should clearly understand that they will be included in the community chat.
- Little activity. To increase the number of participants, it is necessary to mention the conversation in posts.
- There are no moderators in large groups. You need to hire 1-2 moderators so that they are always online.
- Filters. Few people use this tool. Using it, incorrect and offensive messages will be automatically filtered out.
- Black list. Community administrators forget that some people can be added there.
If you take a serious approach to organizing a conversation on VK, this will help you promote the community.
