🫂General Social Is Vkontakte any good?

[Michaeldoods]

This social network might not be known to many but VK.com is like the Russian Facebook.

I heard about it myself before but I was wondering if there OO members who have tried social marketing or paid advertizing on it.

Did some paid ads there. It's the only social network that had more bot traffic than either Reddit and Twitter.
It was a few years ago so things may have became better, but I really doubt it.

VK is really only useful if you are targeting Russians. I used it quite a bit a few years ago, but it has become significantly harder to automate, as bans occur frequently nowadays. It may still be good for some niches, but it is primarily dominated by Russian speakers.

There is a very limited number of things you can sell online to russians. They don't buy random stuff online like the west likes to do. Maybe you can try casino offers, but other than that, your conversion rate will basically be close to zero.

I hear russians like to drink a lot, maybe if you have a shop dedicated to good vodka

What is it you are planning to run?

Russian Ecosystem seem too closed of to me for any legit camalign - even more than China, for it to be much use for anyone outside of Russia imho

If you can travel to Russia, meet people there, you'll find it useful. Otherwise, I don't see any point.
