The social network VKontakte is, without exaggeration, the largest and most popular network in the post-Soviet space. It’s not just schoolchildren and students who sit here for hours; Adults and working people also spend a lot of time on VK. And it is not always spent on mindlessly scrolling through the news feed and liking cats.

Some manage to make money by running VK communities, others are happy to draw from different useful information from these same communities.

Today the site decided to suggest you several useful public pages where you can find useful information, inspiration, and even find a job suitable for a freelancer.

The first public page organized by the administration of the site Kadrof.ru is called “ Freelancers Club ».

According to the public administration, the community was created for the purpose of exchanging experiences, searching for remote work or performers, and for active communication between freelancers.

What else can you find here:

Latest news from the world of remote work;

Posts with interesting solutions;

Analysis of copywriter mistakes;

Discussion of hot and pressing topics;

Useful tips and consultations.

In general, a very useful public page for freelancers of all stripes, namely those who cannot imagine their life without the work they adore.

Next I would like to talk about publics, whose activities are aimed at finding work and performers. Essentially, these communities are mini remote labor exchanges, each with its own number of subscribers and focus. You can see advertisements for vacancies that move from public to public - it’s up to you to decide whether to respond to them.


Vacancies presented in the group are added by the community administrator himself. The group resembles a bulletin board, and customers need to be contacted using the contacts indicated in the message. It’s not entirely convenient, but it wouldn’t hurt to have such a vacancy feed at hand - what if it comes in handy?


Here everything is much more serious. This group can be called a full-fledged exchange - there is even a secure transaction thought out here! It, in essence, is a communication between the customer and the contractor with the participation of a third party, for which the group then takes 5% of the order. An employer can post a vacancy here by offering news. The freelancer can contact the customer in a comment to the post or in a DM, or at the specified contacts.

There are also more highly specialized public exchanges on VKontakte. For example, for designers -
