When to use Facebook Notes instead of Facebook posts

There can be many scenarios when you should opt for Facebook Notes instead of regular posts. This applies especially in the case of massive posts where the word count is more than 100. People tend to ignore large posts. If you have lots to say, there is the option of Facebook Notes, or you can use a blog and link it. With the latter (blog method and links), users usually don’t like clicking the links for information unless you have written a compelling case in the post that contains a blog link. Long posts on Facebook are repelling because they are just giant blocks of text. When using the Notes feature, you can add subheadings, color, highlights, quotes, bullets, indents, and images in the text. With these many features, it is easier for you to convey your thoughts in a (formatted) manner so that users don’t overlook them. You get to use subheadings so your users can jump directly to the text they wish to read. When you have too much to say or wish to say something with stress on specific points, it is always better to use Notes rather than post directly to News Timeline. Among other reasons why people would prefer Notes are: There are many uses for Facebook pages for Pages and regular users. Still, the main reason is the availability of formatting tools that help you hold users for a longer time. Let’s see how to create and view notes.

Facebook Notes for Pages

While regular users can access and create notes from their profile, it needs some work for adding notes to Facebook pages. You have to access Page Settings. It will bring up the Apps link in the left sidebar. Click on Add App next to notes to add the Notes feature to your Facebook Page. After adding it to your Facebook page, you can start using the feature from the left sidebar in the Facebook window.

Tips to Create a Good Facebook Note

A good Facebook attracts people and makes them read it entirely instead of abandoning it midway. The tips for creating a good Facebook Note are the same as those that apply to blog creation. If you have a particular target audience, you can tag people in the Notes and comments section of the Notes. Using tags is a good thing to get some shares, increasing its audience.

How to Check Previous Facebook Notes?

Though you can check your previous Facebook Notes for pages and individual users via profile, the better method is to check the Activity Log. Launch the Notes feature/app and on the right-hand corner, click on the pen icon. It will take you to Activity Log and show you only Notes – in order. They will appear on Facebook.
