Facebook Notes: How to Generate Leads Using Facebook Notes
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been able to generate some very good leads using facebook notes and it is my sincere hope that after reading this note you will see key reasons facebook notes is a powerful way to generate leads for your home-based business.
If I were just starting marketing online today and know what I know about facebook notes like I know now, I wouldn’t go after building a blog first or any of the advanced marketing strategies I’ve learnt over time. I’d start with facebook notes!
What Facebook Note is not…
Facebook note is not about spamming people about your business opportunities and telling them what an opportunity of a lifetime it is you have got. People have got enough of that and it’s repulsive!
It’s about giving people something interesting for people to read. Something short and concise that drives home a lesson.
And you know what? It’s ridiculously easy to get content for facebook notes ‘cos it could be about anything. It could include information on personal development, something inspiring or encouraging. You can tell us a story you’ve heard before and craft your own lesson into it.
Just make sure it’s 100% value and at the tail end of your note give a ‘Call to Action’. Something like getting some free resources, you can tell them to call you, send you a private message. You can send them to your blog or a capture page. Anything!
Merits of Facebook Notes
- Easy to Write: You do not need to worry about SEO and Keyword researches. You simply write an exciting headline targeted at the emotion side of people. A headline that people would love to click.
- Interactiveness: Write an engaging note and watch people comment and interact on the comment section of your note. I like this ‘cos this business is all about people. The more buzz your notes create the more people see you as ‘cool’ and you know what that means.
- Comment Exposure: if your friends get to comment on your posts it gets seen by their friends. This creates some excellent exposure for your contents.
I’ve written notes that got shared by my friends. This is increased exposure for me.
4. Targeted Promotion: There are hundreds, maybe thousands of facebook groups (both old and new) and fan pages about your niche. What you need to do is find them out using facebook search. Join a couple of them and post the url link of your notes there. That instantly put your content in front of the right audience.
5. Recycling Opportunities: Facebook notes are such that in case you are just plain lazy about writing a note later on, you could simply repost your old notes on your profile, fan pages and groups.
The advantage is that it is in front of new people who probably had not seen it before and you could generate leads over and over again using the same notes.
Simple Codes to Spice Up Your Facebook Notes
Make your facebook notes easy to read and more attractive using these simple codes:
- Bold: <b>this text is bold</b>
- Italics: <i>this text is italic</i>
- Underline: <u>this text is underlined</u>
- Strikethrough: <s>this text is crossed out</s>
- Big text: <big>this text is big</big>
- Small text: <small>this text is small</small>
- Insert a link: <a href=”URL”>this text is a link</a>
- Insert a headline: <h1>This is a Level 1 Headline</h1>
- Numbered (ordered) list: <ol>
<li>list item 1</li>
<li>list item 2</li>
<li>list item 3</li>
<li>list item 4</li>
</ol>
- Bulleted (unordered) list: <ul>
<li>list item 1</li>
<li>list item 2</li>
<li>list item 3</li>
<li>list item 4</li>
</ul>
- Hyperlink an image: <img src=”image link” alt=”image title”><div class=”caption”>caption text</div>
So that’s my thoughts on generating leads using facebook notes. I absolutely love this strategy!

Hi Tosin,
I am new to your blog and thanks for sharing this post. I just recently published my first note and it is really plain and simple. Even if you do not have a blog, you can use this tool. Also, add a picture at the top to make it really cool.

Hey Christian,
Welcome to my blog. Hope you love it here.
You see it’s plain and easy. Just know what you want your notes to accomplish by your call to action and start generating leads for free.
Thanks for adding the picture idea. I always use pictures to make my posts more attractive.
Take care!
Tosin
Great topic facebook-notes-generate-leads-Tosin absolutely. Although i dont use as regular as i should the ole notes still generate traffic. Tagging your friends in the same industry with the note also helps it along for comments and shareing the note which can go quiet viral.
Wonderful information Tosin…thankyou for shareing.

Hey Maria,
One good thing with notes, like I said, is that you can recycle them. Just write enough notes and post them any time you feel like. People want to read those notes all of the time.
Thanks for adding to the discussion, Maria!
Tosin
Hey Tosin,
Excellent information.
To be honest I have hardly ever used a note, not for any reason other than I haven’t given them my attention. I can see the benefits of doing so though after reading your post.
You post these to profiles and groups? Also what is your take on tagging people in notes? I don’t mind too much but I know a lot of people who do.

Marcus Baker @Network Maketing Internet Business recently posted..This Blog’s Top Supporters for April
Hey Marcus,
I see notes as one of my income-generating activities. I decided to write notes on a fairly regular basis when I found out I get leads from them.
Yeah I post to groups, not people’s profile. Posting to people’s profile would be termed as spamming.
I made a mistake of tagging people sporadically when I started writing notes, though I didnt include a call to action at the time. However when I decided to start putting a call to action, I limited it to people I knew would not mind at all, like yourself
However sometimes when I write facebook notes that I know alot of people really deserve to know about, like the warning against facebook hacking I did sometimes back, I decide to tag many people at the same time exhibiting a lot of discretion.
There is this idea I am testing with Graham Holdbrook about having a tagging tribe where we have a group of people who tag each other with notes. My hope is that if it turns out like we expect, we could create some massive exposure. (Thanks for reminding me, I should add it to the post to see as many people as would be interested to test the straegy out with us)
Thanks a bunch for adding to the discussion, Marcus!
Tosin
Thanks…. I use fb notes well and it converts well too.
Good post.
Adesoji Adegbulu
Hey Adesoji,
I’ve seen you use the integration feature of facebook to get a summary of your blog posts converted to notes. That converts well?
Good for you then cos I was just wondering about that there is no call to action.
Take care!
Tosin
I haven’t really been leveraging facebook notes, but i have the feed from my blog set up with fb notes so it creates a summary of my blog post in a facebook note. Thanks for the share Tosin
Tristan Richards@home based business leads recently posted..Seo Article Marketing Strategy For Total Search Engine Domination
Hey Tristan,
I’m sure you got your strategies and are going awesome. If you wanna try fb notes, you are so welcome.
Cheers Tristan!
Tosin
Hi Tosin,
Awesome idea and code too
I’ve seen you using the strategy recently. Makes perfect sense. Use a built-in tool to help people in your niche with a particular problem.
The lazy approach is attractive too. Why not re-purpose your content? Most people consume your stuff through different channels. Recycle, customize, and present your content through different mediums to leverage your presence.
As for FB Groups, you know how much I luv them….that’s where I’m seeing all of your Notes
Keep up the great work my friend.
Thanks for sharing Tosin!

Tosin, I read this post with a lot of interest. Actually I had also just read a post on another site about the same thing. I have not used Facebook Notes much at all. I do have a couple of blogs that I link to Facebook. After reading your post here I believe I will start using Notes more. I like your idea very much. Thanks for the heads up on this.
Elaine Bullin recently posted..Are You An Entrepreneur
Hey Elaine,
Glad it interested you.
I’ve not had much success with the linking to my blog. Maybe a couple of tweaking will do the magic.
Facebook notes is really a good strategy that you should try out.
Cheers!
Tosin
Hi Tosin,
I’ve seen some of your Facebook notes and I was wondering how they successful they are. Obviously they are very successful. Good to know and congratulations.
You are right that this feature is certainly not about pitching one’s opportunity.
Thanks for sharing your insights.
Take care

Tosin, those codes are great! I copied them a file so I can use them if I need them. And I have never done much with Facebook notes but I can see how it could be beneficial. Great tips!

Tosin, aloha. Thx for this post. The new ideas you share are much appreciated.
Though I have occasionally written a note, I do not do it all that often. After reading this post, I am going to use this application more. What I will do, Tosin, is watch what you are doing and follow the expert.
Tosin, your clear instructions and code are welcomed.
Best wishes for a terrific month. Aloha. Janet

Hey Janet,
Cool…the key is actually in the consistency. Key into it and stay consistent. There will be a time to be lazy, and then you can just recycle them.
Cheers!

Hi Tosin,
That is a really good idea, thank you for sharing! It sounds similar to blog posting but with different ways to reach audiences. I haven’t written many notes but it sounds like something that I need to start!

Hey Stacy,
If I’d be truthful, I found it so much easier than blogging. I put alot of things in place in writing a blog post, but I dont need to care at all about that when writing notes. And the good thing is that it shows up on google searches. Isn’t that terrific!
You might want to start, Stacy!
Thanks for stopping by!

Facebook Notes are almost like a Journal or sort of a blog incorporated into Facebook. Many users avoid them because they feel they would somehow deviate from that the common understanding of Facebook is and, also, because many people prefer Facebook and Twotter to, say, Tumblr, because they don’t have to read more than 2,3 lines.
Joshua@Plumbing courses recently posted..Plumbing Schools – Finding the Right Plumbing School
Hey Joshua,
The many people that avoid such a great tool have opened the door for those of us who see the leverage in it.
Thanks for the comment, Joshua!

Hey Tosin,
What a clever marketing strategy you have tapped into, and now sharing with all of us! Thank you for these tips.
I have used notes before but more for personal/inspiring notes, and I haven’t thought of using them for business and for targeted promotion. Yes, tip #4 is really helpful! And I also totally see it’s viral potential, and also a good way to re-purpose our contents!
I’ll also observe how you do it so I can learn more before implementing it myself
Thanks again!

Hey Steven,
You are very welcome! You try a lot of great strategies though. If you want to put this on hold for now it’s okay.
Cheers!
Tosin
What a great idea, Tosin! I’ve seen some Facebook friends use notes instead of having a blog altogether, but I never thought of it as an idea for those starting out! I can see it really working, especially for those who have expansive networks on Facebook already. You never know who you’ll be able to read or who would be interested in your work! =)
P.S. Is there any way I can subscribe to replies to comments, Tosin? I’d love to continue the conversation, but if I don’t get it to my email, I probably won’t ever see what you say in response to me!
Samantha Bangayan recently posted..A Kreativ Blogger in the Central Andes
Hey Samantha,
That’s why i said I would start with facebook notes instead of starting a tedious blog if I am just starting. And while it’s true that those who have a big friend list on facebook will benefit from it immensely i also believe that it is those who have a relationship with the friends that will benefit the most. For example I know people that have 3000+ friends and do not interact with them. Such people will most likely not maximize their facebook notes.
Thanks for stopping by, Sam!
Tosin
P.S.: I have a reply notification plugin installed therefore you should get a mail about this.
Tosin,
Great use of the FB feature. There are so many interesting ways to draw people in. You have the right idea with taking action on your profile to promote engagement. Thanks for the tip!
-Jon
Hey Jon,
Yeah, you will be amazed at the interesting ways we can use to get leads.
Thanks!

Hey Samantha, nice you got it all solved.
Instead of choosing only quality. I prefer quality and quantity together.
So I try to interact, to the best of my ability, with as many people as I can because this business is all about relationship. And you are an awesome networker, Sam!
Tosin
Great stuff Tosin!
I’ve used facebook notes before on a limited basis and your right they can be a great strategy for creating a buzz and generating leads. The great thing about Facebook notes is that it’s within Facebook and it’s familiar to Facebook users so you have a built in comfort zone to leverage from.
Thanks for sharing,
