Greetings, friends! In this article I want to answer a question that I was recently asked in the comments to one of the articles. The question, in my opinion, is interesting and relevant to give a detailed answer to it. Actually, this is what I want to do in this article, to answer the question: “how to work with VKontakte subscribers?”
With the advent of the opportunity to collect a VKontakte subscription base, many people picked up this trend - they began to enroll in courses, create lessons, trainings, etc. Many authors have completely gone to the extreme that email marketing is dead, they need to give it up and switch to newsletters on social networks. In general, I mean that on a trend wave we are always in a hurry to grab hold of a new product, but we don’t fully understand how to use it. This especially applies to novice Internet entrepreneurs. People came, learned about the possibility that now the database can be collected in VK - they start digging into this topic, create groups, install a mailing service, even perform the initial settings and send some messages after subscribing. But then it all fades away, there is no constant work with subscribers... And someone didn’t even figure out what’s what and how - what kind of subscribers are VKontakte, where they gather, how to work with them and where they make money...
If these questions are now open to you, then I propose to look into them together in this article.
The correct way to remove from subscribers
Here's what you actually need to do:
- To remove yourself from subscribers of a particular community, click on the blue “Unsubscribe” sign.
Now you know how to remove yourself from subscribers on the VKontakte social network, not only of some public page, but also from the subscribers of some user who did not want to accept you as a friend or removed you from there.
As a sign of gratitude, don't forget to share this article with your friends! Personal VKontakte pages have one small feature - they change subtly, and not for the better. The innovations that Pavel Durov introduces cannot be understood or overcome by the average user. But we can do something too! For example, regulating a problem called: “ VKontakte subscribers
«
.
It often happens that you knock on a person to be your friend, but he ignores your heartfelt urge, adding him not as a friend, but to the herd of subscribers. And you don’t even play the formal role of a friend or acquaintance, but one of hundreds of faceless fans. It’s unpleasant, you must admit, especially when you don’t know the intended object of adoration.
First of all, you should understand the mechanism of the problem. There are several options for becoming a subscriber of a particular user, and very often you yourself don’t notice this happening. So, let's say you want to add a user as a friend: you fill out a friend request and wait for a response. If this user adds you as a friend, there are no questions. However, if he suddenly decides that he does not want to see you on his friends list, he selects “send to subscribers.” Thus, you end up in the status of not friends, but just subscribers.
In principle, most VKontakte users today, on the contrary, gain as many friends and subscribers as possible, either for fun or so that more news appears in the feed. There is also an opinion, and not just mine, that VKontakte subscribers
serve as a kind of measure of the size of the “social belly”. In any case, if you go from being a “friend” to just a “follower” of a user, the user’s profile simply appears in your “interesting pages” list. Although, you can no longer view this person’s news.
The second option is when you are already friends with a certain user, however, for some reason he decides to delete you. So you automatically become his subscriber, and then the question arises of how to remove yourself from subscribers in contact
.
In order to remove yourself from the status of a “VKontakte subscriber”, you just need to go to this user’s page and under his photo (avatar) find the inscription “You are subscribed to...” on a gray background, hover over this inscription, and you have A window will immediately pop up with the content: you have sent a friend request and also subscribed to updates. In addition to these lines, you will find the word “Cancel” there. You need to click on it and the job will be done.
VK users can be within the social network in a special status of subscribers. They can subscribe to various pages of people who have attracted their attention and whose updates they want to regularly follow and receive notifications. This article will discuss who VKontakte subscribers are, how they become them, and what their characteristics are.
How to collect subscribers on VK
There are many ways for the VKontakte social network. Let's talk about the most standard of them:
How to collect paid
The paid collection method in VK is based on the fact that the user goes to sites for promotion: like.fm, likenaavu, bosslike and others. Next, you need to go through the registration process indicating your personal email. Next you need to enter the parameters (fill in the columns with the number of subscribers). Then all that remains is to pay for the service by topping up the application balance. On such platforms, payment is made in the format of virtual points - the number of points you have, the number of subscribers you can get.
Let us point out that you should not recruit bots for public VKontakte using automated programs, since they will not be able to provide the necessary activity, comments, and especially sales.
How to collect for free
There are free ways to find a ton of followers. First, mutually follow the pages of unknown people who have the same goals. Manual promotion of Vkontakte has its advantages, guaranteeing smooth and systematic promotion of a page or community. You shouldn’t assume that it will help you achieve a million-dollar public in one day, but it is ideal for recruiting a starting base.
Secondly, you can open rewards apps and complete tasks for points to accumulate points. In this case, you should be patient, since you will have to complete many tasks (like, comment on a post, join a group or follow a stranger).
Thirdly, when adding as a friend, you can try asking the new “friend” to subscribe to your community. This way, you can quickly and easily acquire a new audience of fans. After all, a person who himself sent a friend request will be more willing to respond to such actions.
To get a large number of subscribers, you should have the following promotion techniques in your arsenal:
- Publish interesting content that will be useful to others. For example, you share your thoughts or post news. Subscribers, in turn, share the post. It is seen by their friends, who may want to come in and subscribe;
- Publishing a post according to a schedule during peak hours of activity (preferably in the evening at 9-10 o’clock, when many have already returned from work/school and are ready to surf the social network);
- Post entries on other social networks, since there is a possibility that a new audience will appear from Facebook, YouTube;
- Be active and like others. Moreover, it is better not to use automated programs.
What is the difference between a subscriber and a friend?
As stated earlier, when you send a friend request to different users, you will automatically follow them and appear as a follower to them.
If he approves your application, you will become friends and the person will go to your friends list. Note that the list of subscribed people is displayed in the upper left corner under the avatar on your page, in the case of a group - under the main photo.
How to become a subscriber and what is it?
Absolutely any user can become a VK subscriber, and this does not require fulfilling complex conditions. You can become a subscriber in three cases:
- When one user sent another a friend request, and it was rejected or ignored.
- When the first user removes the second from his friends list, the second will become a subscriber of the first, provided that it was he who sent the request to be added as a friend.
- When the page owner has configured privacy settings in such a way that all friend requests are instantly transformed into subscriptions.
This is what the page looks like where the ability to add friends is disabled. What does it mean to become a subscriber? This means that a person who subscribes to a certain page receives limited access and functionality to interact with the page of the person he subscribed to. Often, users become subscribers in order to follow publications on the page and wall of their idol. Subscribers have the opportunity to interact with publications: like, repost, leave feedback, etc.
How is it different from friends?
What does it mean to become a subscriber and how does this status differ from ordinary friends? It is known that initially there was no subscription on the VKontakte social network, and people could only add each other as friends.
After clicking the “Add as a friend” button, the person receives subscriber status until the application is approved. People on the user's friends list have the capabilities and functionality that the user has provided for his friends list. This may concern the following points:
- Sending private messages.
- View the wall and interact with posts.
- Access to personal data.
- Access to additional contacts.
- Mode for displaying a list of friends, audio and video recordings, a list of publics, etc., etc.
People who received the status in question have the same rights that they had when they first visited the page, that is, they were outside users.
If you remove a person from your friends list like this, he can move to the subscriber category. They will not be subject to privileges available only to the friends list, but all restrictions provided for outside users not included in the friends list will apply.
As you know, all users who send you friend requests automatically become your subscribers. Until you approve a person’s application, he will remain on your list. If you want to clean up such a list without adding people as friends from subscribers, but simply deleting them, then read this article.
Friends on VKontakte
A list of your friends is displayed directly below your avatar. It has two sections - all your friends and those who are currently online.
Here you can see all the updates or follow the “Friends” or “Online Friends” link. Using them you will be taken to the “Friends” page (a similar item is located in the main menu of the page), where you can see all your friends or those who are currently online. Similarly, you can find people from this section (read more about this in the article “Searching for people on VKontakte”).
How to add someone as a friend
So, let's say that we need to find our old friend Sergei Kontaktov and add him as a friend. Go to the section of the same name in the menu, enter the friend’s name in the search bar (if necessary, use the advanced search by people). After the person is found, click the “Add” button
After you send the application to the person you need, you will become his subscriber. This means that you will see his news and announcements, but if a person in the privacy settings of the page has allowed some actions only to his friends, these actions will not be available to you.
In turn, the person to whom you sent the application will receive a notification that someone wants to add him as a friend. After the application is received, you can go to the person’s page and under the avatar click on the “Add as a friend” button.
An application for addition can be sent not only from the section of the same name, but also from the page of a specific person. To do this, you need to go to his page and click on the “Add” button under the avatar.
After this, a notification will appear in place of the button stating that you are subscribed to the person, and he, in turn, will receive a notification. His further actions are as described above. He can add you or ignore the application, and then you will remain his subscriber.
You can also write a message to the user along with the application (the button of the same name is located under the avatar).
Recommended Friends
Sometimes it happens that a person cannot find the VKontakte user he needs on his own. Then you can help him and suggest friends if this person is on the list of your friends. To do this, you need to select from the list of your friends the person to whom you want to recommend people, click on the icon with three dots and select “Suggest friends”
Next, in a new window, select one or more people from the list whom you want to recommend and put a tick in front of it. All tagged users appear at the top of the window in the general list.
You can activate the “Show selected” switch, and then the window will display a list of all recommended users. After all the people have been selected, click the “Suggest” button and your proposal with recommendations will be sent to your friend.
In due time, your friend will receive a notification that you invite him to add such and such a person as a friend. If he follows the link in the notification, he will see the following window in which he can confirm the recommendation or refuse it by clicking the “Hide” button. If he chooses the second option, then you will never be able to recommend this person to him again.
How to set up friends lists
Each VKontakte friend can be placed on a specific list. What kind of VK lists are there:
- best friends;
- relatives;
- Colleagues;
- university friends;
- friends from school.
Thus, you place users in certain groups: relatives - in “Relatives”, workmates - in “Colleagues”, etc. This makes it convenient to sort your friends and find them or their news at the right time.
The lists are located in a drop-down menu, which is activated by clicking on the three-dot icon. Next, select the “Customize lists” item and in the drop-down list set the desired group where you want to place the person.
By the way, similarly, this operation (as well as the recommendation of friends) can be performed from the user’s page. Go to the page of the desired person, then in the drop-down list under the avatar, select “Add to lists” - and that’s it.
How to delete a friend on VKontakte
There are two ways to remove a person from your friends list:
- from the “Friends” section;
- from the user's page.
1. The first method is similar to all other steps described above. To perform the operation, you need to go to the section of the same name, opposite the person we want to remove, and select “Remove from friends” in the settings.
After you delete a friend, you will be able to cancel the operation before closing or refreshing the page. Once the page is opened or refreshed, the action cannot be undone.
2. You can simply go to the user’s page and under the avatar in the drop-down list, select “Remove from friends.” The difference between this method and the first is that there will be no opportunity to undo the completed action.
How to view VK subscribers
Go to your page and in the left menu click on the “Friends” link:
A new page opens; in the right menu, click on the “Friend Requests” link:
It is in the “Inbox” tab that all the people who have subscribed to you are located:
This window does not provide a function for removing people from subscribers. Although, of course, there is one way: you can go from here to the page of the one you want to delete and block him already on his page. But there is another more understandable and frequently used method, and it is to this that we move on.
Viewing subscriptions to VK people
Usually, subscriptions on the VKontakte website mean exactly the notifications displayed in the news feed, and therefore this option is worthy of attention in the first place. At the same time, we will combine options with user and community updates due to the partial connection of the sections with each other.

Option 1: Website
Subscribing to updates from another VK user is carried out by sending a friend request and, accordingly, can be viewed through the section of the site of the same name. In addition, unlike the list of incoming applications, people can be removed from this page using a separate button.
- Through the main menu of the site, open “Friends” and go to the “Requests” tab on the right side of the browser window.
- To view your subscriptions, just open the “Outbox” tab, since this is where all unapproved friend requests are located.
interesting pages
- In addition to updates from specific people, you can view a list of public pages. To do this, open the “My Page” section and left-click on the “Subscriptions” block.
- If you sent a request to a user with a large number of followers, the profile will also appear in this list due to high activity.
If there is a person on the list using a “Private Account”, the application will not be useful due to restrictions in the privacy settings. Moreover, the number of applications may not be displayed correctly.
Option 2: Mobile application
In the official VK client for the phone, you can view the list of subscriptions in almost the same way as in the full version of the site. Other features of the section, such as deleting applications, are also completely identical to the first method.
- Using the bottom bar in the app, open the main menu and select Friends. Here you need to touch the item of the same name on the top panel.
- Using the drop-down list, go to the “Requests” page and select the “Outgoing” tab.
This section contains all users whose updates you have subscribed to.
interesting pages
- By analogy with the desktop version of the site, to view public pages you must first open the profile page through the main menu. In turn, here you need to scroll through the information below and tap on the “Subscriptions” block.
- Among the presented pages there will be placed not only communities with the “Public Page” type, but also simply active users.
This concludes the instructions for viewing subscriptions to users and communities. Please note that in older versions of the software, sections may be located differently.

Actions with friends and followers
How to see friends' updates
On the main page, under the avatar in the friends list, there is an “Updates” link. By clicking on it, we go to the feed, where all the updates of our friends are displayed.
We will be taken to the news menu, where there is an “Updates” item. By selecting it, we can find out what new actions your friends have performed: for example, who they added as friends, what news they left a comment on, what changes they made to their page information, what media files they downloaded, what communities they joined, etc. .
By the way, if you want to sort the updates and find out them selectively, for example, only which groups your comrades joined and what comments they left, you can use the update filter, which is located under the menu. Uncheck unnecessary items and leave only the required ones - and you will be able to selectively watch changes in the interactive lives of your friends.
Maximum number of VKontakte friends
On the VKontakte social network there are also restrictions on the number of friends and applications. Let's take a look at them:
- 10000 – maximum number of friends along with submitted applications;
- 50 – maximum number of applications per day;
Phone book
If you need to quickly see the phone numbers of friends that are posted on their pages, you can use the “Phone Book” section in the menu section. After going to the section, the feed displays user names with phone numbers and Skype logins. The number of people with contacts is also displayed opposite the section name. In the parameters section, you can sort people or simply use the feed search.
New friends
All recently added friends can be viewed in the section of the same name. Similar to the previous section, you can use the search for new friends or sort them in the “Options” drop-down list.
Possible VK friends
If you look under the menu of the friends page, the site offers us the “Possible Friends” section. How is this section formed? VKontakte analyzes all your comrades and friends of friends, and offers you according to a special algorithm. Sometimes, with the help of such social network tips, you can find colleagues or co-workers.
The window randomly shows five people from a large list of possible friends. To go to the full list, you need to click “Show all” or follow the “Possible friends” link. Then you will be taken to the full list, where you can use the sorting or search function.
And that's all for today. See you soon on the blog VKazi.ru
How to create a VKontakte account?
To register on VKontakte, you only need to have access to the Internet and a mobile phone. By going to the main page of the official website of the social network, you need to click the “Registration” button, after which you will be taken to the page for filling out the profile questionnaire.
It is advisable to enter correct data. This is especially true for the last name and first name, because they cannot be changed later. Correctly entered information about your place of residence, study and work will allow friends and relatives to find you faster.
A mobile phone number is required for personal identification. In this way, the system is protected from bots and computer robots that can create massive fake pages. The resource does not transfer personal data to third parties, so you can safely enter your mobile phone number and start using the social network.
How to fill out your VKontakte profile?
To move on to the next step, namely, find out how to subscribe to a person on VKontakte, you need to fill out your personal profile as much as possible. To do this you need:
- Upload a profile image (avatar). It's good if it's a personal photo that people can easily recognize you from.
- Fill in information about the place and time of study (school, college, university). This will allow you to find classmates and fellow students whom you may not have seen in real life for a long time.
- Fill out the “About Me” section of the questionnaire, telling about your activities and hobbies.
- Create a photo album and upload your photos.
- Add your favorite audio recordings and movies.
How to subscribe to a person on VKontakte and add him as a friend?
In order to find people you know or relatives on VKontakte, you can use a simple search form in the top menu by entering the first and last name of the desired person. After this, a page will appear where you can enter data in more detail: city, date of birth, place and year of study.
If the requested person is not found, you can try to search for him through the pages of mutual friends. Considering that more than 70% of the Russian population aged 14 to 50 use social networks, finding the right people will not be difficult.
In order to add a person as a friend, you need to click on the “Add as Friend” button under his profile photo. When a user approves your application, a link to his account will appear in the “My Friends” section.
How to view the list of VKontakte subscriptions on a computer?
In the full desktop version of the site this is quite easy to do. Simply go to your personal profile and click on the name of the “Interesting Pages” section, which is located under the “Online Friends” section.
Next, a window will open in which you can view the full list of subscriptions. Moreover, at the top of this pop-up window there is a search bar with which you can find a specific page.
Note!
This window first displays the public pages that the user visits most often, followed by the personal pages of those people the user has subscribed to.
How to follow a person on VKontakte without adding him as a friend?
Before the concept of a VKontakte subscription arose, there was a “fan” function. Thus, anyone could become a fan of a famous user whose rating was at least 200. However, this function did not last long, and very soon it was replaced by “subscribers.” In other words, it has become possible to subscribe to anyone, regardless of their rating or status. The updated function allows you to figure out how to follow a person on VKontakte without adding them as friends, but simply viewing their news and updates.
In order to subscribe to a person, you need to go to his VKontakte page and select “Add as friend” under the photo. This way, you are automatically subscribed to this user's updates, regardless of whether he accepts your application or not. You can unsubscribe from a person in the “My Friends” tab by deleting your subscription request.
How to find out who I am as a subscriber in VKontakte
When you want to make friends with a user in a contact, you send him a friend request, and then everything happens as follows: you are either added, left as a subscriber, or your request is rejected altogether, but this rarely happens. Most often, when the user does not want to see someone on the friends list, the “friend request” is formed into “subscribed to news”. Few people want to be subscribers (not a friend, not an enemy, but...), so I will tell you how to look at who you are subscribed to and unsubscribe from unnecessary users.
How to remove yourself from subscribers in VKontakte
Before you unfollow everyone, you need to find a list of subscribers. To do this, select the “ My Friends ” tab. Next, the third tab on the left is “ Friend Requests ” and click on “ Outgoing Requests ”.
A list of users who ignored your request and sent you as subscribers will open. Under each person there is a button “ Cancel request and unsubscribe ”. To get rid of all subscriptions, go through the list and click this button.
Always check whether you have been added or not in the “Outgoing Requests” tab, so you will know who you are subscribed to, who did not want to add you to their friends list, so that you do not appear in the first positions.
How to find out who another person is following in a contact
All information about subscriptions is contained on the user’s page in the “ Interesting pages ” block. Along with communities, this section contains people who are subscribed to by the person you are interested in.

How to delete a subscriber?
If a person has subscribed to your VKontakte page, this information will immediately appear under the profile photo. However, if you don't want a specific user to read your updates or view photo albums, you can blacklist them.
To do this, click on the “My Followers” tab and move the mouse cursor over the photo of the person you want to delete. A cross will appear in the upper right corner, clicking on which will move the person to the black list of users who cannot view your account, read updates and write messages.
Not a single social network on the Runet is thought out as correctly as VKontakte. You can follow a person you recently blacklisted in literally no time. To do this, you need to go to the “Black List” tab in your account settings and uncheck the previously deleted user. Thus, he will again be able to read your updates and view the page, and you can send him a second request to be added as a friend.
How to delete subscribers on VK without blacklisting them
It may come as a surprise to many that it is not necessary to blacklist unnecessary subscribers; it is enough to leave them a message in public or private access. There are several more “peaceful” methods, which we will discuss below.
One option is to write a private message to the person asking him to unsubscribe. Keep in mind that it is not always possible to unsubscribe an “unwanted friend” in this way, since his page may be deleted or access is protected by privacy settings. This fact is a significant drawback, creating further difficulties for you in cleaning the page/group.
Secondly, you can post a status or write information on your page asking you to unsubscribe from your page for any reason. You can do the same with a group that has stopped generating income. The disadvantage of this method is that users may not see this entry and will not unsubscribe.
To summarize, in our article we examined some of the nuances related to the topic of subscribers on the social network VKontakte, what they are. We looked at possible options for promoting a page or community using audience recruitment.
We spent a lot of time and effort to write this article. We tried very hard and if the article was useful, please rate our work. Click and share with your friends on social media. networks - this will be the best gratitude for us and motivation for the future!
