How to win random competitions. How to win competitions on VK

It has become very popular in communities to hold various competitions with expensive prizes. And for us, ordinary users, to take part in them and win valuable prizes.

Why are competitions held on VK?

Holding competitions or various events in the community has become an integral part of PR. After all, the whole point of existence of any of the groups is to acquire a large audience of subscribers in order to sell their goods or services within their means social networks VKontakte. After all, the more people there are in a community, the greater the likelihood of selling a particular product/service, demand increases and the income of the group owner in VK grows.

A brilliant marketing move was to hold promotions and competitions in communities. The point of the competition in VK is that YOU repost the group on your page, and the more people put “ LIKE" And " Tell friends", the more points you will score to win the competition. In this way, communities are giving themselves a free PR campaign, giving you the opportunity to win a competition in VK.

How to win competitions in VK?

There are several options for winning competitions.

First option: if you have a large number of friends, then you can ask them to repost your post, then winning a competition in VK will not be a problem for you. But the disadvantage of this method is that you will have to beg your friends and spend time persuading them to “Repost”, and many competitions are limited in time.

Second option: called “Exchange”, you find people who also need “Reposts” of records and negotiate with them. They “Repost” to you, and you too to them. Again, the disadvantage of this scheme is that you need to manually find a huge number of people and also negotiate. Again, there may not be enough time.

Third option: cheating “Reposts” for money, you only need to allocate the nth amount of money to promote your post, register on the site and order a company. It looks like this, using the example of the site Vktarget.ru.

This way win a competition on VKontakte, of course, is not honest, but it is quite effective. After all, believe me, your competitors can inflate their votes in the same way. And, of course, you don’t have to order a large number of “Tell Friends” messages; you can limit yourself to 10 or 100 such posts. Therefore, by spending up to 100 rubles, you can win the competition and receive a more expensive prize worth real money. Here is a list of sites where you can order any campaign from increase likes to " Tell friends».

How to win a VK competition, how to promote a group on VK, how to make money in contact with your boss: easy!

Greetings to all Readers of my blog, everyone who wants to earn money or who wants to receive free gifts by mail! It doesn't matter! Hello to all Friends!

Today I’m revealing new secrets: How to win a VK competition, how to promote a group on VK, how to make money in contact with your boss, just an acquaintance, or even a friend who is far from the Internet space, or rather, its small and big secrets! You don’t need any special skills here, just, as they say, “you need to know the places.” And there are “places” that sometimes help us in useful matters.

So, in order.

How to win the competition?

Surely many of you have seen more than once, and maybe even risked taking part in some kind of Internet competition, the conditions of which are absolutely harmless actions, namely: post a photo on some portal on the topic of the competition and collect the largest number of likes from various social networks.

Finding a photo is not a problem, especially frequent such photo contests on the theme “the best child” or “my summer”, “how I spent my holiday”, etc.

Then the voting begins, and we begin to ask and beg our friends to vote for us, for our photo to win. Alas, for some reason we quickly run out of friends from VK, and we don’t know who to ask anymore. But the competitor’s photo continues and continues to gain those cherished likes...

The secret to winning the competition is simple!

I can assure you, Friends, that these likes are all purchased! Well, judge for yourself, you have only some twenty, one hundred, even three hundred friends, and someone continues to gain more than a thousand votes. Well, it can’t be normal if a person has a thousand friends on VK, right? And try to persuade at least twenty people to vote for you! Therefore, these are just purchased votes.

Where and how to buy?

Earlier I told you that I work on it, but registration on this exchange implies conditions for us, both the customer of the work and the contractor. That is, if you want to win some kind of competition, go to the Advertiser tab, select a social network and simply create a new order.

Fill out the form provided, below indicate how many participants you want to recruit and set the price for fulfilling this order. On average, the price of one like is 2 rubles, that is, the mathematics is simple:

100 likes * 2 rubles = 200 rubles or $2.92, for whom it is more convenient to count.

That is, roughly speaking, for 3 dollars you get as many as 100 likes.

Today, for example, in VK alone, the number of employees on this exchange exceeds ninety-one thousand! Since they work there not only from Russia, but definitely from the entire CIS, and there are and I know users from foreign countries who also work online at home. This platform is one, both for customers and performers.

Earlier in my reviews, I showed screenshots of earnings on. After all, someone orders a performance, for example, as a photo competition, and someone performs it and makes money from it. But let’s return to the essence of our review, thus, by ordering placements on this exchange, you can easily try your normal strengths in any competition.

Will they be removed from the competition?

This opinion is also logical, but won’t they remove me for cheating?

Answer: we buy likes different users, different people, who actually click, like and complete your task from different IP addresses. So why can we be removed? It is simply impossible to recognize whether the likes are purchased or not. We do not do any other program actions, so feel free to take them into service this method, because the secrets of how to win a competition can hardly be found in the public domain!

If anyone offers such services, then he uses such exchanges as ForumOK, well, judge for yourself who can have ninety-one thousand people at their disposal, as is now on ForumK, only they will ask you for an unknown amount, but you yourself have the right manage your finances: how many likes you ordered, how many you paid for.

We continue to learn the secrets of promoting VK, Odnoklassniki, and Facebook groups.

But our earnings from Forumkom don’t end at competitions! Imagine this thought: your friend from university decided to sell some things, cosmetics, etc., created a group on VK, Odnoklassniki... and what next?

Who to sell to, how to promote your group on VK, where to recruit participants, etc.? This bunch of questions arises for everyone who decides to open their own business online. And we will help him again with you and with Forumkom and even for!

How? Elementary! Any VKontakte or Odnoklassniki group won’t get promoted on its own, right? You just need to push it a little, that is, for the first time, recruit fakes (our purchased users), order reposts, so that users post small announcements on their pages, and their friends see and already join our group, and so we gradually reach stable growth, when you already order, you don’t have to buy introductions, and people interested in your product will themselves go to your group.

That's the whole secret!

Don’t forget about your bosses, they are “money bags”!

If you work in some organization that sells plastic windows, furniture, clothes in a small store, or anything in principle! Don't forget to offer this service to advertise your store through social media to your leader! After all, it’s so easy to do, why use the services of some promotion companies, pay considerable sums, if you yourself now know how to recruit participants to a VK group or how to order reposts on pages!

And then you look, your boss will write out a bonus)

Friends, I have new gifts! Super perfumes that make your head spin! In the next review I will prepare photographs of what I received and a story on how to order famous brands.

See you soon, now you know how contests with a large number of likes are won, where they are taken and how much they cost!

An iPhone for reposting... A professional camera for joining the group... I'm sure you've seen such posts on VKontakte more than once. And they probably even took part and were upset that you weren’t the winner. But believe me, on the day when you are contacted and informed that you have won a prize, you will not be the lucky one, but the unlucky one whom the scammers have chosen as their victim. Why? You will find out if you read to the end.

Competitions with prizes: giving away iPhones, iPads and even cars!

The number of different competitions on VK is simply off the charts. Well, the prizes are amazing. Expensive gadgets from Apple, professional cameras and video cameras, tours to exotic countries... To become a participant, just join the group, make a repost or collect the required number of them under the post about the giveaway on your wall. Well, the winner will be chosen randomly or it will be the one who collects a certain number of reposts. I'm sure you've seen such competitions more than once:

If you're lucky, you might even stumble upon some incredible prize giveaways. Do you want a Porsche? Or maybe your dream is a BMW X6? Yes, yes, they are also played on VKontakte! And to get such a car you just need to repost!

Don’t you think it’s too strange that for some kind of repost, someone is ready to give you a “bakha” or give you the last one? new Apple product? Seems? Then you are on the right track!

How to breed

All such competitions are created for only one purpose - to find victims from whom it will be possible to make a good deal of money. Believe it or not, one such prize draw brings its organizers several tens of thousands of rubles, and in just a couple of days. But none of the competition participants receive anything. For example, two guys from the Voronezh region were able to earn about 90 thousand rubles thanks to a competition in VK, the main prize of which was the latest model iPhone. Did anyone get the gadget? That's right, no one. It didn’t even exist, but it served as good bait.

The scammers' actions are incredibly simple. They announce a competition in the public or even on their page, where very valuable prizes are awarded that immediately attract attention and cause a stir, for example, MacBooks, iPhones. People are not required to do anything complicated to participate in the competition. All you have to do is repost the post with the giveaway, which only takes a couple of seconds. The winner is selected randomly (selected) from all those who fulfilled the participation condition.

In fact, there can be an unlimited number of “winners”. Fraudsters simply begin to selectively process those who decided to participate in the competition. Each victim receives a standard message saying that she is the winner and the proud owner of a brand new iPhone. To receive it, you need to provide your details, address and... be sure to make a payment, the amount of which can range from 200 to 3000 rubles, depending on the greed of the “organizers”.

What are you talking about, the prize is absolutely free! After all, you won it. You just need to pay for shipping. And yes, you must pay before sending the parcel; for some reason they do not accept cash on delivery. Why, I think you understand. Sometimes the imagination of scammers gives them other ideas. And the “winner” no longer pays for delivery, but, for example, gift tax, for registering in the warehouse database to receive a prize, etc.

The victim is assured that this payment is mandatory. And what are some 200-500 rubles, if in a week or two you receive a prize worth 50-70 thousand rubles! And if you pay within a couple of hours, you will also be given a free case or even a second gadget! All this puts the victim to sleep. If a person has thoughts about whether they are trying to deceive him, they slip him a fake - for example, someone else’s passport screenshots, links to people who have already won similar competitions in this group (naturally, fake ones), etc. All this finally convinces the victim that the organizer can be trusted. I'm sure you've already guessed what awaits after sending the required amount. The person is blacklisted everywhere and ignored. He never receives his prize, which was initially ephemeral.

Are there normal competitions in VK with real prizes?

Fake pranks have filled VK. Someone is trying to attract participants to their community with the help of such a competition with non-existent prizes, someone is using this method to scam people out of money. And, alas, these are the majority of pranks. However, not everything is so pessimistic. Still, sometimes you can find a public page or group where the competition is real, and prizes are actually drawn and given free of charge to the winners without the requirement to contribute at least some amount. Of course, you are unlikely to see an iPhone or iPad there, but there are also things quite worthy of attention. Once upon a time in 2012, I won a certificate in a public VK for a hardware store, for which I purchased a multicooker, a juicer and a mixer.

HOWEVER! This competition was strikingly different from those held by all these iPhone distributors... Firstly, the public belonged to a well-known local brand. This was confirmed by the widget on the company’s website, which directed people to this community. Secondly, the conditions of the competition were not at all as “light” as “join the group, repost and wait.” It was necessary to prepare a dish related to the brand’s theme, post it publicly and collect the largest number of likes, and they were counted only from group members. I had to seriously compete for the prize, all my friends and strangers were invited to join the community and vote for me using a like... To receive the prize, I was not required to do anything other than drive up to the company office, sign and receive my certificate. As a result, the company, with the help of the competition, promoted the group well, considering how many people took part in it and how many new subscribers it attracted to it. Well, the winner, that is, I, went happy to the store for free equipment.

How to recognize scammers

It is quite easy to identify scammers who make money out of money under the legend “you have won a prize”: If you really want to participate in competitions, then choose those with adequate prizes, such as, for example, a set of dishes, headphones, a player. Few prank organizers can afford to give away expensive things like an iPhone or iPad. But they are excellent as bait. Who doesn’t want free equipment worth a thousand dollars!?

• If a competition involves simple actions, such as reposting or just joining a group, there is a high probability that it is fake.
• A group or public page was created quite recently, but almost all the posts are in the spirit of “win an iPhone”? Avoid this community. His goal is to attract fools who can then be scammed out of money. The community must already exist for at least several months, have a large number of posts, and be full (there are photo albums, videos, “live” discussions).
• Enter a photo of the prize, as well as the documents that the “organizer” will send you as evidence of its honesty, into Google and do a search by image. I am sure that you will find these photos in many sources, which means that everything is fake.
• If the “manager” demands money from you, arguing that it is a delivery fee or gift tax, immediately blacklist him. The prize is delivered free of charge, taxes on gifts are formalized legally and then after exceeding a certain amount, and paid registration Moreover, it is not required to receive the won item.

I understand perfectly well how you want to win some competition and especially how you want to become the owner of such a valuable prize as expensive equipment or a tour to southern countries. However, be very careful when participating in various sweepstakes on VK. No matter how much you believe that you are the lucky one who is finally lucky enough to win an iPhone, feel free to send the competition organizer to hell if he demands an advance payment from you. Otherwise, you will lose money, and you will not receive a prize, and you will sponsor another pest.

The VKontakte competition is very attractive. It would seem that, for example, post your photo, get the required number of votes and receive the coveted prize. But not everything is so simple...

You should not think that such events are organized by administrators with good intentions. Most of them are measures for promotion and popularization. The more people vote and leave comments under the participants’ works, the faster the composition of a particular group increases. If you are counting on the possibility of a fair victory and think that the strongest will win, then these competitions are not for you. Here the winner determines himself by promptly helping out with a large number of “likes” in the form of hearts or positive signatures. How? It's simple.

Method 1. Friends and status.
If you have a fairly large number of friends, whose loyalty and readiness to help you have no doubt, then you can post a request for help in voting on your page. Don't forget to add the phrase: "Repost." In this case, not only your loved ones, but also their friends will know about it. The list of voters will increase noticeably and will look something like this.

Considering that such chains can involve thousands of people, then the chance of winning the competition in this way is quite high.

Method 2. You for me, I for you.
Through (the “community” column) find competitions with conditions similar to yours. Ask to vote for yourself, and in return you offer help. This is perhaps the most effective way, since people willingly rush to the rescue subject to their own benefit.

There is one important disadvantage here. In order to leave a comment about a request, you must enter a captcha each time, which, as a rule, is quite difficult to view in VKontakte. You can enter the characters shown correctly on the 3rd attempt. Imagine that you need to perform such an operation dozens, or even hundreds of times. Here victory is only in your hands!

Method 3. Fraudsters and simply resourceful people.
As you know, there are a huge number of cunning geniuses on the Internet who can make money on literally anything. So in your difficult task there will be similar helpers. For a certain amount, they will get you as many “likes” as necessary. For a separate fee, they will even sign words of admiration and sincere delight. Everyone's rates are different. If you just need to put a heart, it will cost you an average of 2 rubles per vote. Everything else is somewhat more expensive and depends on the complexity of the work. Money is usually transferred using electronic tools such as WebMoney, Yandex. Money, etc.

A huge disadvantage of this method is that such people are not always honest with the customer. Most people just take the money and disappear. Some people really get their votes up, but they do it slowly. It happens that the competition has already ended a long time ago, but the votes are still coming.
Before you start working with someone, read reviews online. Don’t pay attention to those located in VKontakte itself on the “dealer” page - as a rule, everything negative is deleted.

Method 4. Mechanical.
There are several programs through which you can increase voices mechanically. You simply enter your username and password for the page, provide a link to the photo of the participant you need, and the process goes on by itself.

It would seem like a great way. But everything has its downsides, in this case there are several of them. Firstly, official version paid and costs about 2000 rubles. Secondly, everything free programs Not only do they not add votes, but they also hack the page, sending spam on your behalf. Thirdly, competition administrators, as a rule, disqualify participants who used this method, because they do not receive any benefit from such voting.

Method 5. Long.
If the competition lasts for a long time, then you can resort to one more method. Register on some forum and engage in active, positive activities there: praise everyone, admire the style of those present, etc. After a while, unobtrusively ask for help. Rest assured, 90% of the audience will help you.
Here, of course, one must make no mistake. Carefully select the most visited and voluminous sites.

Method 6. Again, for money.
You can place an order on freelancer exchanges yourself. For example, on Advego. The wording of the work card must contain a link to the photograph and brief instructions. The average cost of one vote cast for you will range from 1.5 to 5 rubles. Of course, only you set the prices here - you can pay more. In this case, voting will go much faster.

In the case of VKontakte competitions, the expression: “Every person is the architect of his own happiness” fits perfectly. So you will have to work hard to win such a competition. Good luck!

Filled with new knowledge and impressions (there was no choice), I simply could not help but write this post) The epic has come to its logical conclusion. The winners have been determined and prizes have been sent to almost everyone ( I'm waiting for the remaining wallets) everything went quickly and without major problems.

Admittedly, this was not entirely easy - even if the amount of work expected to last several weeks had to be completed in a hurry in 2-3 days. But stop complaining already)

From the very beginning I got into this venture with the main goal - to gain experience ( originally judicial). And I got it, not only as a judge, but also as an organizer, and it was worth it.

Of course, at first I was tempted to take part in the competition myself, and I would probably have been at least among the top ten winners ( that's how confident I am🙂) But then I figured that there would still be a lot of different competitions in the blogosphere, but it’s unknown when they’ll be offered to be in the shoes of the jury, and besides, in such a large article.

So, while I was re-reading the competition articles, looking at them from different angles, evaluating them this way and that, looking at the ratings of other jury members and their comments on these articles, a certain picture formed in my head.

And the title of this painting is something like this “What should the competition work be like in order for the jury to like it and get into the prize money”. Of course, we are now talking about article writers and how to win these competitions

I’ll make a reservation right away - this is my subjective opinion, but it is also based on the assessments of other jury members, plus I tried to look at my assessments from the outside, so the share of objectivity and rationality here should be at least half) In addition, I probably don’t have so much experience like prof. contestants and prize catchers, but it already exists, and it’s versatile ( and participated, and won, and flew, and judged, and organized, and even filmed his participation in dubious competitions)

Some tips to help increase your chances of winning competitions.

1. The jury must like the article.

Always your cap)) It is unlikely that at least one judge will give a high score to an article that he did not like, no matter how objective he may be. And there can be many reasons for this - starting from the low quality of the work itself and ending with a bad attitude towards the contestant on the part of the judge.

This point was already touched upon in one of the competition entries, and I agree with it - if you want to win, you must know who will evaluate this article.

After all, you must admit that if an article is evaluated by a professional in his field, who has already eaten dog in this topic, and you slip him a post designed for snotty newbies, then other than yawning, it is unlikely to cause any reaction in the judge. At best, get an average grade for effort.

The opposite is also true - if the judge is a person who is far from the topic, then by filling up the post with slang phrases and complex, incomprehensible terms, you simply will not be able to reach him because it will be “incomprehensible”.

Here an understanding of the psychology of the jury comes into play; in addition to qualifications, you need to take into account many different factors - his gender, age, place of residence, education, legal status. and so on. And you can never be sure which one will have the most significant impact on the assessment)

2. Originality.

I noticed that the highest scores were scored by those works in which people did not follow the given standards, but deviated a little from them, adding something of their own ( such as video presentations or mind maps, in), shared their cool personal experiences, made banter and satirical articles (for example, from Bearded, and I disagree with Phil that it has no practical use, you just need to look at it from the right angle) or generally narrated using interesting literary devices ( from the 3rd person, for example, there was a story about the fate of the author). In general, write with your soul guys, many will appreciate it.

The main thing is not to go too far and not to go too far from the given topic ( for example, there was a very unusual article, it’s even better to call it a story, by the Princess, but unfortunately it’s more like literary work and doesn’t quite fit into the competition) So sometimes you can fly with originality, no one is in trouble :)

The same articles that were written in detail, sorted out, but in a dry analytical style, of course, received good points for the work done, but still not the highest, and they were less remembered. Especially when I’ve already read a dozen similar works before) This leads to the 3rd important piece of advice.

3. Be among the first to submit work.

At least in the top ten. I know that many bloggers are lazy by nature and like to put everything off until the last days) Therefore, most of the works are sent at the end of the competition. And someone specially waits until the last minute, reads the works of other participants and already keeps track of which of the works receive the most attention, and does something similar.

However, such a move could play a cruel joke on them. If your article does not shine with originality and some kind of innovation, then you can probably read something similar from other participants. In most cases, submitted works are sorted by date and begin to be checked from the first to the last in order (although not always).

And this means that with With every similar article read, the jury's interest will decrease, and probably the scores they give too. Therefore, it’s better that you become an original, and the rest are already like you) I tried to fight this phenomenon, but I’m afraid it didn’t quite work out, and someone won’t even bother with some kind of fight)

There is another point here - if there is a lot of work, then the verification will take several days, so it also depends on how fresh the judge was when he read your work =) On the good side, such factors should not affect the assessment, but unfortunately, they exclude they are not allowed.

4. Appearance and design of the article.

Even if the text is brilliant, but if the overall design of the site causes aesthetic vomiting, and the font and color scheme are eye-opening, then the reading experience will certainly be ruined.

Don’t be lazy to format your article properly - dilute it with interesting pictures, break it into small paragraphs ( one of the works was written without a single space between paragraphs, I got tired of losing the line while reading), make subheadings, lists, highlights. Of course, it’s also better to know when to stop and not to overdo it.

5. Be honest

The blogosphere, especially in RuNet, is actually not that big ( If we talk about our brother on autonomous blogs, then in general there are solid familiar faces everywhere)). Having ruined your reputation once, it will be very difficult to regain an honest face.

If you participate in competitions, and then remove links from competition articles after completion, then sooner or later such actions will lead to your being blacklisted, and you simply will not be allowed to participate.

If you quarreled with everyone, messed things up, deceived someone, etc. then such a reputation will run ahead of you. Who knows, maybe those whom you once offended will judge your article at a competition tomorrow or even organize it, and guess what your chances are in this case of winning a prize)

If you do not write competition articles but order rewriting on copywriting exchanges, then you should not be surprised that these articles do not take high prizes ( or they often don’t take anything at all). Even if you rewrite someone else’s article yourself, this is often visible, especially if the person does not understand the topic.

If the topic of the competition is far from you, then either write like that from the point of view of a complete noob) Or don’t bother here at all, but wait for more suitable ones.

The same applies to outright hackwork, when people write articles carelessly, throwing out bullshit in half an hour, without even correcting mistakes, in the hope of getting into prizes if there is not a large number of participants, or extreme case just get an open link.

6. Read between the lines

Once again I was convinced that many bloggers, when submitting applications for participation, did not even bother to carefully read the main conditions. There were a lot of articles that did not reach the minimum number of characters, and there were also articles without links or with closed links. There were articles that were completely off topic. Although all this is clearly stated in the conditions.

What can we say about the fact that not many people saw the hints and wishes. But Andrei, in the text of the competition announcement, wrote in black and white “ ... the main thing is that the story is interesting«, « …your originality will not go unnoticed«, « Also, I would like to open the eyes of many to the real goals of holding competitions". And people rushed to write standard articles for beginners, like “there are article competitions, commentary competitions, etc., the jury judges, and the participants receive links and money”; in short, there was no smell of originality.

Don’t take it for criticism - these articles were excellent, useful, but not exactly what I wanted to see. Therefore, read carefully and try to understand what the organizers want from you =)

Well, that’s actually all the points that you should pay attention to if you want to win competitions. Although I probably missed something else, it’s spinning in my head, but I can’t remember. Maybe someone can add more?)
