This is illegal, and the VKontakte administration is trying to track such transactions and block sellers. Moreover, the user who bought the product is likely to lose it.

For an adult working person - apply for a loan or purchase a product. But the reward is much more. For joining a group - 1 vote, for filling out an application - 70. There may not be any offers in a new account.
There are applications and groups that give votes for attracting new players and subscribers (mostly gaming services). The essence of the method is simple: the more actively you manifest yourself innetworks, the more friends campaign, the more votes you can get for free.
Free votes through third-party "exchange" services
RoboLiker is a service where users earn points and exchange them for votes.
