VKontakte advertising exchange: TOP 8 services + 10 functions

Who is the owner and/or creator of the group?

The creator is a VK user who created a group or public page and chose its topic. This person has decisive rights in the management of his community. He can appoint administrators, accept other members into the group (if it is closed) or remove them from there, transfer it to a public page and vice versa. The key difference between the creator is that he can delete the public.

The owner is the user who currently owns the community. He does not have to be the creator, as the group can be sold to another person. The question of how to remove the previous owner is mainly related to the fact of buying/selling a public page. The user who purchased the community wants to become its full owner so that no one else has similar rights. And it's real.

How to find out who created or owns a community

There are several options here:

1. You are a group administrator. In this case, you just need to go to group management, select the “Participants” item, then the “Leaders” sub-item and carefully look at the drop-down list. The community creator will always be listed first.

   

2. You are not an administrator. In this case, things get a little more complicated. Look at the page, in particular at its right side - there should be a “Contacts” block there. If there are a lot of people in it, then administrators are also listed there. If one person is the creator. This block may not exist if the creator wants to hide it.

Another option is a discussion page. It indicates who exactly created this or that topic. This person is at least an administrator. The same applies to posts on the wall - the authorship, which is constantly repeated, indicates that they are posted by the user who manages the public.

how to choose a blogger

In order not to drain your budget, I have put together a small list of tips on what to do and what to pay attention to when choosing a platform for your advertising.

1. TA. When choosing, rely on your target audience. Compare your blog audience to your client's avatar. For example, it’s stupid to advertise sports nutrition on a mom’s blog or choreograph a wedding dance for a handsome bachelor;
2. Format. Pay attention to the format in which the blogger presents information; it may well be that it may not suit you (rude or youthful manner of communication, etc.);
3. Target. Think carefully about the goals of your advertising campaign, they can be different, for example: attracting an audience, increasing brand awareness or direct sales. Having decided on it, it will immediately become clear to you what category of bloggers you need;
4. Obligations. Consider the timing of when the advertising platform commits to releasing the ad and the post-publication activities. Calculate and evaluate whether it is convenient for you to have it published at the promised time and whether the blogger or resource will provide statistics on the advertising publication;
5. Observation. There are many programs for increasing subscribers and activity, and it’s not difficult to paint statistics in Photoshop. Therefore, watch for a few days the actual activity of the page on which you plan to advertise. Well, or check the promotion through services, for example, LiveDune.

How to make another person an owner

It is not difficult. We go to community management, select the “Participants” item and the “Leaders” sub-item. We select the administrator, after which this window appears.

In it, click on “Assign owner”, after which this user becomes the full owner of the group. For detailed information, go to the article “How to transfer the rights of the owner of a VK group to another person?”

Accordingly, at that moment you cease to be the owner, losing all relevant rights. You can also make yourself an ordinary member by selling the community along with a manager account. This option is valued most by potential buyers, as it eliminates all possible problems in the future.

How to get your VK group back

If for some reason the creator of the community changes his mind about transferring it for use to another person, he can cancel this decision. After transferring ownership rights, a message will constantly appear in notifications (bell) indicating that you have appointed this user as the owner.

If you click on this notification, a window will appear where you can revoke this decision. By clicking on the “Return Community” button, you will again become the full owner of your group. The steps are the same for all platforms, both computer and mobile.

briefly about the main thing

Today, VK advertising exchanges are one of the most productive types of advertising. After all, each of the bloggers has their own loyal audience, which is really interested in the products that their idol uses.

Exchanges will allow you to quickly find the blogger and VKontakte advertising platform that best suits your criteria and make sure that his audience is real and that advertising really works. And if you don’t want to bother with choosing an exchange, then here are the best ones for you:

• Plibber;
• Sociate;
• SocialTrade.

Possible problems and their solutions

Let's consider what difficulties you may encounter:

• There is no notification to return the community - more than two weeks have passed since the appointment. You will need to write to support;
• There is no button to assign as owner - this participant is not an administrator. Only this user group can be assigned;
• It is not possible to demote yourself - according to the rules of the VK, this is impossible.

It is impossible to remove the owner or creator of a group, especially to a third party. You can only transfer these rights to another user, and this must be done by the owner of the VK community himself.

There is an article on our website about how to contact the channel administrator in Telegram.
