Findings

Further, the authors analyze ways to promote personality (personality content) on the Internet. A website is presented as the most common form of advertising and self-promotion on the Internet. All methods of promotion on the Internet are mainly aimed at attracting a visitor to the site. The most popular forms of promotion on the Internet (Rozina, 2017). 1. Publication on news Internet resources, specialized and thematic sites. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that on the most popular servers where news, articles and other materials are published that are similar to the theme of the site. There was information about the site and a link to it. For example, a site reviews new car brands and provides a list of sites (with links) that sell cars. 2. Link exchange. This method of promotion consists in the fact that the owner places links on his site to a “friendly” site (as a rule, similar in theme) and also puts a link to his resource. There are several options for using this form of advertising: creating a separate page where recommended links are grouped (necessary so as not to overwhelm the content pages with additional information); placement of links in the context of a page that is suitable for thematic content; placing links directly on the main page; ratings determine the popularity of a website compared to others of the same thematic category. A high rating indicates high traffic to the site, therefore, and its quality. It is believed that sites become highly visited precisely with high-quality content or service, so the rating is getting higher and higher. Advertisers see these sites as attractive for placing their ads. 3. E-mail (email) marketing. Using email for marketing purposes is currently a fairly common practice. There are effective forms of using e-mail as an element of personal promotion. 4. Discussion lists are intended for the exchange of information. They are sent to all participants, each of which adds his own opinion on the issue under discussion (Leontiev, 2018). For the purposes of self-promotion, you can become one of the participants in discussion lists that directly or indirectly relate to a particular event. Among other participants, you can find potential customers or partners, however, you must follow certain rules for conducting conversations, otherwise you can lose credibility and trust for excessive advertising obsession, which will bring only a negative effect; Newsletter from the server (Leontiev, 2018). Regular visitors of the site can be offered a special newsletter informing about updates and the placement of new material on it; mailing lists. On the Internet there is the opportunity to receive e-mail materials on a particular topic by subscribing to a list; individual messages. Currently, there are ways of automated mailing of letters with advertising information directly to the user's e-mail. For example, you can thus inform about changes in product prices, about new products, congratulate on holidays, etc. In this case, individual letters will serve as a means of forming and strengthening consumer loyalty. Currently, the term “civilized e-mail marketing” has become relevant, implying the correct distribution of advertising information to users' emails (Karpikova & Artamonova, 2018). 5. Viral advertising. Unlike spam, this type of advertising message is sent by the users themselves. It can be a joke, article, graphic image, photograph or video. At the same time, the speed of distribution of this advertising product increases exponentially. The most effective tool for viral advertising is video advertising, as it has more opportunities to influence the audience. Viral marketing is one of the most advanced technologies. As an example, we can mention the popular interactive viral videos, where viewers can take part as an actor and shoot their peculiar continuation. 6. Separately, it is worth highlighting ways of promotion in social networks. This type of new media is one of the most popular and in demand today. Many bloggers have earned thousands and millions of fans - subscribers to the platform of these particular resources (Weber, 2017).

Currently, new ways of promotion are appearing and appearing; studying them has allowed us to focus on the most effective ones (Trubetskaya, 2019).

In order for media content to be successful, and the author to collect as many views as possible, components of high-quality content are necessary. 1. Uniqueness - the information should be relevant and fascinating. Information cannot be copied from other resources, as this is prohibited by law. An exception is cross-sharing between a company’s blog and its social page. network. 2. Regularity - posts should go out systematically. Several times a week, and preferably at least twice a day. This will help maintain interest in the blog. Updating content is the key to a blogger’s success. 3. Virality - information must be lively, evoking an emotional response. Interest should always be fueled by unusual facts, contests and surveys. Active viral videos should be avoided (Kazyaba & Barmina, 2020).

An analysis of the characteristics of ways to promote a person using new media revealed such stages as: 1) creating ideas for content; 2) analysis of the situation; 3) selection of unique content; 4) promotion using paid likes, views, hashtags; 5) cooperation with other bloggers and media personalities; 6) holding contests, draws to maintain interest in the content; 7) content monitoring; 8) direct and indirect communication with the audience (Koryagina & Kravchenko, 2019). It is worth noting the generation of unique ideas as an integral part of creating successful content. You should not forget that quality content is obtained only when the blogger is ready to put maximum effort into it. You should not forget that people are interested in reading not just beautiful articles and watching vivid photos, this should be followed by a strong personality of the creator of the content. It is necessary to make the resource as unique and free from stereotypes as possible (Grigorenko, 2016).

When analyzing ways to promote a person in new media, the features of promotion in social networks and blogs were revealed: originality; sensitivity; the ability to choose the latest trends; uniqueness of content; collaboration with advertisers; promotion due to; public placement.

1. Multimedia - information can be transmitted using audio, video materials, graphic images, test and other forms derived from them, which in combination gives a synergistic effect.

2. Convergence - the synthesis of various types of media content and its movement from one media platform to another, which leads to its integration and increased influence on the audience.

3. Hypertextuality - the text is an infinite number of texts, united by a system of internal and external links. This implies that information can be infinitely supplemented and expanded with the help of different authors, which contributes to a manifold increase in the opportunities for personal advancement. The term itself refers to the ability of new media to create an unfixed volume of content based not only on information from professional journalists, but also on information from active Internet users. Thus, on the basis of one author’s test, a new media text with an expanded volume of content may appear, which is important for the process of promoting the personality and expanding the impact on the audience.

4. Interactivity - the active participation of the audience in the creative process and the constant interaction of media users with professional creators of media content.
