Besides the countless benefits that Facebook provides for every online entrepreneur –building a brand, building relationships or sharing information-there is another great feature that allow you to generate targeted leads effortlessly.
What is the feature Radu?
Just two words: Facebook Notes.
By the end of this article you will know exactly how to use them in your marketing efforts to attract more people interested in what you have to offer.
Like every marketing strategy, a Facebook Note presents opportunities and risks.
The greatest risk is trying to spam with business links and providing low quality information just to make some extra cash. This will only destroy your credibility and influence online.
On the other hand, if you seek to add as much value as possible, the opportunities are huge:
- massive exposure: in groups, pages on people’s walls.
- A good note also generates dozens of comments and likes. Thus, more and more people will be more curious about you.
- Accessibility: you don’t need to be the super duper expert in order to create a note. Anyone can write one in a short amount of time.
- Traffic: it’s very easy to add an image or link that points directly to your blog or a capture page and start driving traffic to them.
Let’s see now how you can generate leads…
Targeted leads with Facebook Notes: step by step guide
1. Create a new note
Go to the left sidebar of your Facebook profile and pick up “notes”.
There are plenty of topics you can write about: MLM or internet marketing training, self improvement tips, inspirational quotes, stories or personal notes just to name a few.
2. Add massive value
More exactly, content that is educational, entertaining or enlightening. You can mix them up for more originality.
3. Make the note attractive by adding catchy titles
Secondly you can insert some nice pictures with the “add photo” option.
4. Create a strong call to action
After you add some serious value a call to action becomes a normal step.
Include a link to an opt in form or your personal blog. Thus, you will start generating targeted leads.
Hints:
-use this html code to make a link clickable
<a href=”http://yourdomain.com”>yourtext</a>
-for a clickable image use the photo code instead of “yourtext”
Usually it looks like this: <photo id=”1″ />
For videos:add an image in your note and implement the following code:
<a href=”yourvideolink”>yourphotocode</a>
5. Select the privacy options and tag your friends
You can make the note visible to everyone or only to certain categories of people. Also, tag your friends and it will show up on their wall. Yet, don’t tag people randomly because this is called spamming!
Hit the publish button and voila! Now take the link and spread in groups or other pages every day. It’s really that simple
Finnaly, if you want to have more fun with each note, in this post you will find more html codes for an advanced customization.
Facebook notes is definitely one of the most simple strategies to generate targeted leads for every type of online business and engage with others at the same time. I’m looking forward to use it as often as possible.

Excellent tips here.
I just re-upped my Facebook Notes game the other day. Hadn’t used them in months, but then I realized how powerful this lead generating tool is, when used properly.
As you note, lead with value. Make value your intent, and your FB notes become valuable, generating interest and a great number of leads, too.
Thanks for sharing your insight!

Hey Radu,
This is a good tip about Facebook notes Radu but have you found that people don’t really read long notes anymore? I know that I’ve had some people share that with me. I think being taken to a blog post is one thing but their attention spans just aren’t very long. Have you run across this before? Just curious.
Thanks for sharing those codes too for the photos and videos you can include in your note. I’ve stopping putting those in notes because I always had problems with the final look of it. Will have to try out your suggestions.
Thanks for these tips.

Hi Adrienne,
Glad to see you here:)
Yes. Usually people are in such a hurry. However, if the note is captivating they will read every single word. It’s about emotion.. A note it’s like writing a letter of appreciation for a good friend. At least that’s how I see it. Tosin Adeoti writes some awesome Facebook notes and they are long most of the time. Quality makes a difference that’s for sure.
I keep them short-medium so far.. An inspirational story, few insights and personal opinions and that’s it
You are very welcome. These make the note more flexible and attractive.
I appreciate your comment. Also, look forward for more of your posts:)
All the best,
Radu
